Reviews
The most versatile bag with children.
"From car, to gym, to park, to home, this organizer helps my family transition to everything we do. As a mom of two little ones that loves to be on the go, this bag is fantastic! My favorite part is keeping our water, and bottles upright. I store my keys, headphones, the kids snacks, wipes and still have so much room. I love that I can use it on my Stroller or put it on my shoulder. It allows to attach to my stroller with Velcro loops and allows me to grab what I need without stopping our stroll. The key ring attachment gives me security to know my keys will not fall out while grabbing over things out. The bag is also so comfortable when wearing it. I highly recommend for anyone that wants to be prepared and organized. It has saved us so much time transitioning from one event to the next! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat accessory."

Handy Option
"I had high hopes for this concept, and in some ways it came through ... but in others, it was a disappointment. For starters, it's larger than the current cross-bodies I own. This alone makes it extremely handy for a mom of two under 2! Wipes, diapers, extra onesie ... you can really make use of the space it offers. There's also great little side pockets to store smaller items like pacifiers (I hate digging through large bags for them!). The fact that the bag is black makes it blend in if you're not crazy about the look of it. I personally don't mind the way it looks and have worn it on my waist as well. I live in Florida, which is hitting close to 95 every day right now, so another perk to the bag is the outside lining that goes against your body. My biggest cons are when the bag is attached to the stroller. I still don't have an option on my DualRide for my Stanley cup (or any larger cup). I'm a nursing mom, so I need to have a large cup of water on hand and it just won't hold anything substantial. It will hold my babies' smaller water bottles great, though. I've even tried some of the heavier ones like the kid hydro flasks. My other con is that it does feel somewhat insecure when attached. If you add any bigger or heavier items, it kind of tips backwards and seems like it could fall. When it starts tipping too much, I take items out so I haven't had it actually fall back. I understand why the "hooks" are on the inside of the bag (so you don't see them when wearing it), but leaving the top open isn't ideal. It also doesn't really lie flat, so it's kind of just sticking out at a weird angle. Another small gripe is having the hooks with velcro near your hands ... it's not the most comfortable when you're using it on longer walks or trips. All in all, it's a great option if you're looking for something versatile that can hold your essentials in more ways than one! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat accessory."

Not Terrible But Not Worth The $55
"I carry a smaller crossbody in a bright color as my everyday bag, so I was excited to receive the Shyft Dualride Stroller Organizer Crossbody Bag from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. A neutral color and an easily cleaned fabric? Win! However, I was quickly disappointed. The description makes it sound like an organizer extraordinaire, but the inside has a couple small, thin pockets (none of which snap, zip, or close in any way) and two loops to hold bottles. There is a long pocket on the outside back, but this pocket is also thin and does not secure in any way. So most of the usable space is just open area. The lack of snap or zipper pockets isn’t a huge deal if you’re zipping the main compartment, but you’re unable to zip that compartment if you attach it to the stroller (which was the biggest potential perk of this bag for me). I didn’t feel the bag was going to fall off the stroller, but it definitely swung a bit; and I wouldn’t want to put anything valuable (like my phone or money) into it if I were in a more public or crowded space (anyone could just reach right in). So that leaves wearing it on your hip like a fanny pack or wearing it as an actual crossbody bag, and I have better organizers in both styles at the same price point or less. My baby doesn’t take bottles, so I don’t know if those fit; but I know my older kiddo’s small reusable water bottle didn’t (I had to put it in the bag sideways, and then it took up almost the entire capacity of the bag). I can maybe see myself continuing to use this bag as a crossbody if we’re doing activities where there’s a high likelihood it’ll get dirty/wet (like going to the splash pad), but the smaller everyday crossbody I already own does a much better job organizing my essentials. I can see how this might fit into some people’s lifestyles/preferences better than mine, but you can get better organizers in cuter color/fabric options that are still easy to clean at the same price point or less (I checked, just to be sure, and quickly found a handful of great options). If the design were improved by adding a way to close the pockets if desired (ESPECIALLY the zipper to the main compartment while attached to the stroller), I’d consider adjusting my review. Maybe a slit to push the Velcro to the outside of the bag when you want to attach it, that way it can still zip?"

Wearable Stroller Caddy
"Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing us with this stroller organizer crossbody bag for our Evenflo Shyft Dualride Gold! Super convenient to not have to take anything out of the stroller organizer and throw it on as a crossbody bag when needed! We walked to a festival in our neighborhood, and when we were headed into a building a parking the stroller, I quickly put the bag on as a cross body and off we went with all of our things safely in tow! This crossbody bag held everything we needed for mom and baby - wallet, keys, diaper, wipes, burp cloth, blanket and an extra pacifier!"

Versatile and practical
"This Shyft DualRide Stroller Organizer Crossbody Bag is a total game changer! It was made to make life easier for busy moms and dads like myself. I appreciate that it can easily clip onto my stroller and can carry drinks, toys, pacifiers, wipes, diapers, I even use it to hold my iced coffee on my morning strolls. Not only is it an incredible stroller bag, but I absolutely love how it can also be used as a crossbody bag. It is so versatile! It is the perfect size for all my kiddo’s needs. I pack it up for the day and love that I can use it as a stroller attachment or as a separate bag for moments when I am not using a stroller. All in all, I am thrilled with this bag. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller accessory bag, it has made my busy life so much easier."

Great bag
"I was given this car seat accessory to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I really enjoyed using this dual-purposed bag. It was big enough to fit my phone, keys, wallet, and some snacks. I really liked that you could switch up the appearance of your he bag by wearing it different ways. So it is not only functional, but stylish! It was also nice that you can easily attach it to the stroller, although I would have liked the interior Velcro to be fabric and snaps instead."

DualRide Stroller Organizer
"Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this stroller organizer/crossbody to test out! The use of this stroller organizer may or may not work for you. To be honest, I can’t see it working for me, given the many other options for stroller organizers out there. I tend to carry a large water bottle with me at all times and it was way too top heavy to comfortably rest in the bottle pocket of this organizer. I feel this organizer would work better if it attached to the stroller from the sides of the bag, instead of the straps attaching from the back of the bag. It would work fine for carrying baby bottles or sippy cups. It did fit the necessary diapers, wipes, and toys I need to carry around. If you don’t carry an extra diaper bag or purse with you, then the crossbody option would be great! I always have multiple bags on me, though. Again, I think this product could use some improvement, but for the value it could work if needed!"

Shyft Cross Body
"The first thing I noticed of the Shyft Crossbody was the fabric. I am always on the lookout for something durable and can be easily cleaned, this checked both of those boxes. I also like the fact that the strap is very long and can fit many body sizes and either crossbody or around your waist. It’s big enough to fit essentials like my keys and a water bottle. The bag easily converts to a stroller bag by two velcros inside the bag. It has an insulated compartment inside to hold a bottle. It’s not too big of a stroller caddy to get in the way, but big enough to hold some key items. The convenience of being able to wear it and then hook it into your car seat/stroller is great. I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel for my honest review."

Crossbody Helper
"The design of this bag is very functional. It zips closed so things like my keys, wallet, phone, etc don’t fall out. I do however wish the pockets were a little bigger and the bag was a little more sturdy and stable. As long as I keep the bag zipped nothing falls out. Which is nice if I need to ditch the stroller I can easily unhook and wear the bag. But it can’t hold a water bottle without almost tipping everything out. Which is a bit of an inconvenience while out and about. Overall it’s a pretty good addition to have if all you need is a handsfree bag you can attach and take with you and I would recommend this to anyone looking for accessories for their stroller. I received this product from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I’m glad I did because it has made our outings just a little bit easier!"

Super helpful, but a little annoying to put on
"This is really great to have with the stroller. The bottle holders aren't big but work well for plastic water bottles. It's good to have for your keys and phone. However, it's pretty annoying that you can't zip it shut and that you have to undo velcro every time to take it on and off. It would have been a better design to have hooks or an easier way to quickly hang this on the stroller. Still, it solves the issue of having nowhere to put your wallet. It's also a kind of nice looking crossbody bag. It seems pretty durable and the strap and bag material feels nice - the zipper is solid, too. I have also used this on a different stroller I have - it didn't fit quite right, but it was better than nothing. DISCLAIMER: I received this as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel"
