User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Best little knife
The small Swiss Army knife is the best I have found for the price. Over the past few years, I have bought a dozen or more as gifts. Great pattern and color too.

5 Stars Love this knife…
This little knife is awsome, I have it in the pink and it is so cute. You’ll wonder what you ever did without it! Scissors and nail file are my favorite parts.

5 Stars A very useful mini pocketknife your boys will NEVER borrow :)
I’ve had about 8 of these mini-pocketknives in red and black over the last few years, and each time they are “borrowed” by one or more of my 3 boys. No matter where I hide them, they find them, and then lose them. I then decided to order the green and blue version of these, and I still have them 2 years later! Somehow the boys just manage to leave these particular knives alone…wayyyyy too girly for them I guess.

The knife is very useful, and my friends and my sons’ friends are always amazed when I pull it out from my purse to cut an apple, take out a splinter, snip a plastic piece from a toy, sand down a sharp fingernail, etc. And I don’t feel like some kind of knife-wielding freak when I use it because it’s so cute.

I have bought several of them as gifts for friends and they love them too!

5 Stars Great little pocket knife
Nothing fancy about it, just your standard girly knife. The pattern and colors are cute though. My daughter and niece are enjoying their’s and they certainly come in handy.

5 Stars MUST HAVE
My friend’s dad had bought one of these for me when I vacationed with them. From that point on, I was in love with it. I had never seen one like it until I found this one on Amazon for an awesome price. I have the pink one and I got my mom the green one for Christmas. It has everything! My personal favorites are the tweezers and little scissors! You’ll be surprised at how often you’ll find yourself using it!

5 Stars Very cute and functional purse pocketknife!
This is the second of these knives that I have purchased to keep in my purse. It has just what a mom needs and is very high quality. I especially like the flowery design - none of my three sons would ever dream of “borrowing” and losing it!

5 Stars Perfect little knife!
I love this knife. It is perfect for your purse or pocket and has everything you really need. It’s quite sturdy and has stood up well in my jeans pocket with my keys - plus my boys don’t go off with it because it’s too “girly” for them.

5 Stars perfect for the swiss in your life
bought this for my gf for the sentimental value and the fact that her old swiss army knife has seen better days. she loves it! it is beautiful and functional. highly recommeded.

5 Stars Love my Swiss Army knives!
I’ve had a couple of Victorinox knives over the years, but unfortunately have lost them. This one was a Christmas gift, and I love the quality of the knives, the array of tools, and the size (easy to carry in my purse). This one has fewer tools than I would like, though. I would really like one that includes a flathead screwdriver at least, if not a flathead AND a phillips head. However, the person who gave this to me could not have known my “knife standards” and so I’ve based this review on the knife that I was given. It’s a great little tool, and it is unbelievable how often it gets me out of a jam!

5 Stars Cute and Functional
I got this for my 12 year old daughter and she loved it. All of her friends have asked for one! It would be a great stocking stuffer. Very handy. I don’t think she’s actually used it out of need, but if she does need it, it’s there!

Kelty K I D S Messenger Diaper Bag




Sling the Kelty Messenger Diaper Bag over your shoulder, carry it like a backpack, or clip it to your strollerthe Messenger Diaper Bag is super versatile. This handy bag has plenty of pockets to organize and separate your baby’s supplies.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Diaper Bag
This bag has served my wife the longest of all her diaper bags. She finds this to be the most useful of all the bags she has used. The design is simple, light, and does not have wasteful functions.

4 Stars Excellent (as in, close to perfect but not quite) Diaper Bag
This bag is an excellent middle-sized diaper bag.

The size (not mentioned above) is roughly 13″ tall by 13″ wide by about 5″ deep. It’s about twice as large as a smaller sized purse, about 2/3 the size of a laptop sized tote.

Pros:

- medium size works well for everyday use.

- front compartment is great for purse-type items while main compartment great for baby gear, thus getting rid of the need to carry two bags.

- many pockets of varying sizes makes it easy to organize things.

- flap top opening makes it easy to get into things one-handed

- well made with solid zippers, good cloth, sturdy seams, etc.

- one pocket in the main compartment is right up near the top and light-colored inside - perfect for items you often need right away and don’t want to dig for.

- messenger strap/backpack straps both comfy - the versatility is very helpful, especially if parents prefer different styles of carrying the bag.

- plain black and gray color is good for those who don’t like froufy and/or babyish diaper bags

- decent price for a good product.

Cons:

- plain black and gray is well…plain. kind of a boring-looking bag, truthfully.

- changing pad is not that great. does not fold flat once you put anything in the attached pouch. it takes up room in main compartment - i packed it into the backpack strap pouch on the back. it has no velcro on it and just sort of flops open. also, it’s not very big. oh well, i didn’t buy the bag for the changing pad.

- front flap is one giant pocket, but the opening to that pocket is a 4″ size zip pocket on the left side. this means either you stuff something big into that pocket through a small opening (like a blanket) OR you put small things into the giant pocket and they rattle around (like my keys). it would have made more sense for the whole pocket to zip open at the top OR to have divided up that space into multiple small pockets.

-while parts of the interior are light colored, most of the interior is black, which makes it harder to see things.

Overall, good product, far better than most diaper bags I’ve seen (and I’ve looked around a lot). Just a few tweaks would have made it pitch perfect for me.

5 Stars Great stroller for the money!
I’ve been very happy with this jog stroller! It feels super stable on the road and folds easily to put in the back of my car. If you have a smaller car it would be a bit more cumbersome to put into the trunk. The basket underneath is perfect to hold a purse or small bag. After I bought this the directions stated that it was not recommended for use with infants, but along with the Kiddopotamus Snuzzler Complete Head and Body Support it works GREAT for smaller children. I also like that the back adjusts to recline or sit up for children to either sleep or look around, however, if you’ve got the back in the reclining position it takes two people at times to use the sinching tool and get the back up into the upright position.

4 Stars Love it.
I love this stroller. I ordered it in Sungold because that color was the cheapest. I am glad that I got the bright yellow color. It is very visible. Hopefully we won’t get hit by any bad drivers.

I ordered from BabyAge and shipping was super fast.

I had read the reviews and was aware of posted complaints. The straps/buckle are not too cumbersome. The bottom strap part that goes up through the baby’s legs is a little too wide. It is okay for my very large 12 month old (wears 24 month clothes). The strap is thick and not very pliable and over 2 inches wide. I have not found a bottom strap like this on any other baby product. Because it is so wide, baby has to keep his legs slightly spread. I can imagine that it might be more of a problem for smaller or younger babies.

The fixed wheel is great for jogging. It is slighty less manueverable than a swivel wheel, but more suited to our needs. My baby’s grandparents love walking him in this stroller. They do not mind the fixed wheel. It is much easier to push than the traditional shopping mall stroller. The baby seems to weigh half as much when pushed in this stroller as compared to in the traditional stroller.

This stroller is not the top of the line. There are a few quirks - the molded plastic cup holder tray thing seems ready to pop off, and the molded plastic fender we received is not perfectly symmetrical. These have not been a problem to date. I am pleased with the quality of this product given its price.

I also ordered (from Instep’s website) the rain cover that goes with this stroller. It was $20 plus shipping. Seems to work pretty well. I am more likely to use the stroller in cloudy weather because of the cover. We tuck it in the basket underneath in case of showers.

4 Stars Very good stroller for the price
We are very happy with this jogging stroller for the price. It is light yet quite solid and easy to push when running. The “break point” in the middle flexes a little so that is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. It really doesn’t affect performance but it would feel a little better if this joint was more solid. Great deal. Unless you are a serious runner, and I mean serious like you’re running sub 6 minute mile pace, this stroller should be fine for you.

5 Stars Excellent!!!
Needed a decent jogging stroller and didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg for it. Set up was a breeze and my daughter loves it. She even falls asleep while i am jogging so the ride is smooth. Great price and the free shipping was a great incentive to buy as well. Total cost was half of what was being sold in the stores around here. Buy it with confidence.

3 Stars Now let’s run!
My husband found this stroller to be fairly easy to assemble. He also liked the way it handled on his morning run. I, myself find the fixed wheel a little annoying and the wheels themselves seem a bit warped. But I am not the runner. (And it was a gift for him) It is quite attractive, and affordable. Our 9 month old daughter seems to like it, too.

5 Stars Scatcat
This Cortech Sport Tail bag has been great for my H-D 883 Sportster. Just the right amount of storage space for a small gym bag, bottled water, and purse. The bag stays secure on the (mini-size) back seat with the adjustable tiedowns. My helmet fits well, by itself, with the sides expanded. I have to hike my leg a bit higher when mounting the bike. And the flap on the bottom of the bag isn’t all that attractive. Though it’s probably functional for the available attachments. Overall, it’s an exceptional piece for storage. Thanks for the quick delivery!
