Hop Along With A Bunny Bag

Lisa Estall — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 12:51:00 GMT

Dante Beatrix backpacks have been featured at Droolicious before, however I wanted to showcase this bunny backpack as I think it would make a great gift for Easter.

This bunny bag is named Esther and is sized for children ages 2-5. Perhaps stuff it with jelly beans, chocolate eggs and a stuffed animal if you are giving it as a present?

Price is $38. Visit Dante Beatrix.

New from Dante Beatrix

Dante Beatrix has a new collection of Envelopes with Removable Straps that are just as chic and playful as their full size diaper bags. With enough room for wipes and a few diapers, this is the perfect bag when you don't need to carry a lot. Choose from many cool options. See some more after the jump...

The envelope would also make a great toiletry bag, arts and crafts bag or mommy bag for inside your diaper bag. See all the fabulous Dante Beatrix Envelopes here ($36).

New from Dante Beatrix: Furry Backpacks

elizabeth leach — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 17:26:00 GMT

I didn't think Dante Beatrix backpacks could get cuter. Well, I don't know if these are cuter than their unbelievably cute Little Kids' Backpacks, but these are certainly furrier (and also very cute). With faux-fur sides, straps, and forest creatures, your little kid can carry his or her own backpack in furry style. Choose a squirrel, panda, or dog. The straps and back panel are padded for comfort. For ages 2-5.

Find them at Dante Beatrix for $48.

SunnyChanel — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 20:56:00 GMT

It looks like Desperate Housewives ex-Melrose Place star Marcia Cross believes in peace and also in change. Perhaps not political change but a good old diaper change for sure.

Here she is with her twins going for a walk with her Dante Beatrix Peace Stroller Tote. This diaper bag makes a statement while also being practical. There are clips on the back of the bag that fasten to the stroller handles, plus two side pockets, a cell phone pocket, big back pocket, interior pockets and comes with a changing pad. Get yours here ($110)

Introducing Dante Beatrix T-Shirts

elizabeth leach — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 14:30:00 GMT

We’ve written about Dante Beatrix diaper bags and little kids’ backpacks in the past. In September, Dante Beatrix is launching a collection of t-shirts with mod animals, much like on the little kids’ backpacks. (more images after the jump)

These bright and fun t-shirts are everything Dante Beatrix is known for: a modern sensibility that is playful, quirky and well designed. I like these t-shirts so much I want to hang them on my nursery wall. Shop Dante Beatrix.

7 Days of Diaper Bags: I'm a Diaper Bag and I’m Also French!

elizabeth leach — Sun, 25 May 2008 13:00:00 GMT

This diaper bag is not pretending to be anything but a diaper bag. It’s not trying to disguise itself as a purse or a man bag. This bag screams, “I'm a diaper bag and I’m also French!”

I’m a sucker for bright colors and simple graphic images so the Dante-Beatrix Stroller Tote is my personal favorite. It can be worn across the body or it can be clipped onto the back of your stroller. (The bag I have is always sliding down the back of my stroller which drives me nuts.) There are lots of handy pockets: a large one for the changing pad (which is included), two side pockets (perfect for bottles), a cell phone pocket, and two more inside pockets. The bag is made of nylon, so it can be easily cleaned, and comes in orange, pink, and blue. And if purchased at 2modern the shipping is free.

Dante Beatrix Makes the Grade

Carmen — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 19:39:00 GMT

I don't know about you, but I am famous for tipping my kids stroller over. I'd loop the diaper bag over the back and wham! down went the stroller. Probably you are a bit more graceful than me. Or at least have a lighter diaper bag.

A messenger bag like this would have saved my kids the fear of being catapulted into space backwards. The smaller size makes it perfect for stroller expeditions when you don't need to carry everything your baby could need in 24 hours. The handle on the Baby Beatrix Messenger Bag extends to hang over the stroller handles or you can shorten it for over the shoulder carrying. The bag is nylon, which means that it can be wiped down again and again with no ill effects.The outer pockets are great for carrying your necessities, and on the other side the flap zips underneath the magnetic closure. Sold for $155, it comes in five colors and three batiks, and includes both a changing pad and pouch.
