Chic&Cozy Blanket Bag Review and Giveaway

For months – no, more like years, now – I have been dragging around a beat up backpack, filled with extra clothes, small toys, snacks, sippy cups, and diapers. The backpack is functional, and there’s room for plenty of stuff, but being a remnant from my college days, is far from cute and stylish.

I was offered a Chic&Cozy Blanket Bag from Chic Tots to review and snapped up the chance. Both boys are finally at an age where I don’t have to take everything and the kitchen sink, just to run out to Walmart for a quick trip, so I figured a bag like this would be right up my alley.

The Chic&Cozy Blanket Bag is one of the cutest things I have seen in awhile. It comes in six adorable styles. I was given the Desert Camo style to review. The exterior of the bag is made from a very durable fabric, while the interior is a soft, luxurious blanket. My boys are a bit big now to play on the blanket, but if sure makes a nice place for me to sit, while they’re running around outside! It is completely machine washable, which is another great bonus, especially when you have messy little boys.

What I thought was really great about the Chic&Cozy bag is its versatility. Not only can it be converted from a diaper bag to a blanket, giving babies a soft, clean place to play, but it can also be worn several different ways. Out of convenience, I used mine with the straps crisscrossed and set up like a backpack. Yeah, old habits are hard to break – plus you try chasing a 2 and 3 yr old with one hand tied down to a diaper bag!! You could also use it with shorter straps as a tote or extend them fully to make it a shoulder bag.

The only thing that I miss when using the Chic&Cozy over my regular bag is the extra space in the pockets. If I end up with wet clothes or a particularly messy diaper, there’s a chance that everything in the bag may get dirty. I’ve been keeping a plastic bag along for storage of wet and dirty clothes, to prevent myself from ruining this super cute bag while I’m using it.

Overall, I find the Chic&Cozy to be a fabulous find, AND an added selling point is that the product was designed and created by a MOM to solve her own diaper bag issues. I will definitely be hanging on to mine, even after my diaper bag days are over!

The Chic&Cozy can be purchased from the ChicTots website, with prices ranging from $49.95 to $39.95. Beginning May 24th, some styles will also be available in select Target stores across the country, so keep your eyes peeled!
