What better way to celebrate your Holiday weekend than with a fun giveaway?
Have you heard of Scout by Bungalow? I hadn’t until a couple weeks ago, even though the company is headquartered here in DC. When I did become acquainted, however, I was impressed by the bold colors, fun patterns, and huge selection of tote bags, storage bins, luggage, and table top accessories. Needless to say, when they reached out an offered a product for review, I was thrilled. After careful consideration of the many cool options (I was this close to trying out this daytripper tote) I settled on the Lock It Pocket Rocket, in True Brit.
I had been over my old diaper bag for a while now, and this tote seemed a perfect replacement. It’s roomy inside (check it out: change of clothes, diapers, wipes, wallet, and day planner with room left at the top!), has SIX outside pockets (two sippys, snacks, water bottle, sunglasses, phone), a zip closure on top, shoulder and hand straps…and– it has stroller buckles! I have a Maclaren Double umbrella stroller, and the handles are too wide to slip a shoulder strap over, so this was a major selling point. Since my Lock It Pocket Rocket arrived last week, I’ve buckled it to the stroller several times, and it is awesome. I can turn the sippy/snack side towards the back of the stroller, and have an automatic console for the boys.
The material is water resistant and wipeable, which makes it excellent for a diaper bag. The Scout website lists it as a “Durable Polywoven Fabric” but that isn’t very descriptive. The closest thing I can think of to describe it is the heavyweight woven shopping bags from IKEA. This feels sort of like a double-thick, coated type of that material. I was a little surprised when I felt it for the first time, because it seemed really stiff and plastic-y. But, the material has softened up even in the last week of use, and now I’m completely comfortable and satisfied with it’s quality and durability.
I love the blue stripe, and the neon straps of the True Brit pattern. I’ve already received compliments about my bag several different times! I also really love the two different handle heights. It’s been so nice to be able to grip it in my hand, and also wear it over my shoulder. (I also created a cross-body strap for this bag, and will share the DIY this week!) I’m loving my new bag, and am excited for one of you lucky folks to choose one, too.
Scout has generously offered to give a Pocket Rocket bag away to one One Little Minute reader! You can choose the Lock It style with the stroller buckles, or the regular Pocket Rocket without them. Both bags have several bright, happy patterns to choose from, so check out the Scout website, decide which you want, and enter! Good luck!

I love Scout! I use their totes to lug around my heavy scrapbooking papers. Sturdy bags!
I like it in Barbara Stripsand coral. Thanks for the chance to win!
Cute and functional! What a find! Barbara Stripesand! Haha! I’m all over that pattern!
I love the Barbara Stripesand Coral bag!!! These look great.
I like the true brit. It seems great. I am looking for something better to take to church.
Hi! I love the bag!! I would get the Boca one, I think. So cute!
I would totally go for the Lock it Pocket in the coral stripes.
These bags look amazing! With my own little one on the way I would certainly go for the lock it, because who doesn’t need more stroller storage on long outings? I like the Barbara Stripesand, the name alone is great, or the True Brit; it’d be a tough choice!
Sooo cool!! I went to their website and Well Red is my absolute fav.!!
I like the Boca Pocket Rocket!
These look like great bags!
I am a sucker for pockets and I LOVE a cute tote! I can’t resist the Barbara Stripesand. In fact, if you don’t choose me, I have to talk Adam into letting me get it anyway!
Lock it pocket rocket for sure…. But undecided on the pattern
These look amazing! I like the Barbara stripesand!
Love the Barbara Stripesand and loooove that it can clip on to the Maclaren double since that is the stroller we roll around town too
I have had my eyes on these for a while now. They seem to be all the rage! I would love the Pocket Rocket in Foxy Brown. I love it!
I love the pocket rocket in boca!!! Or well red!
I follow you in twitter as well as your blog Miranda! I dont have a facebook but if I did I would definitely ‘like’ both of you!!
I would get the well red pocket locket. So cute! Thanks Miranda!
Okay and I decided that I live the bag you have too!
This bag would be the perfect replacement for my old rundown diaper bag! I would love the Style: Barbara Stripesand – Coral. Thanks so much!!
I have never heard of Scout, but am always looking for ba with enough pockets to hold my two girls gear along with my essentials (wallet, phone, Chapstick, calendar). What a fabulous bag and giveaway! Thanks!
My favorite style would have to be the Boca or Well Red. Such cute options!
I love the pocket rocket in well red!
True britt. For my husband’s benefit
I want the Lock It Pocket Rocket in True Brit!
As the mom of a soon-to-be 2 year old daughter and a new 10 day old son, I think the Foxy Brown Lock It would be a good burst of energy for this tired mama!
So happy for you that you got a new bag! Aren’t new things the best?? I am entering. I like the Barbara Stripesand in coral.
Thanks Liz:) New things are the best. Can we hang out this week?!
I love the Grape Gatsby tote! So darling!
Fun! Good timing for a new bag for me! I want the Barbara Stripesand!
True brit is so adorable
this is perfect with my 2nd baby coming in a few months! i love the coral stripped and navy one! awesome giveaway!
Love the regular Pocket Rocket in MoroccaN Roll.
Love the colours. Looks really functional!
Hand and shoulder straps, brilliant… red well gets my vote!
What lovely bags! Hard to pick my favorite, though I’m sure I could manage …
I’m digging the “Well Red”! I don’t need the stroller straps, but I really need the big pockets!
I love the Lock It Pocket Rocket you’ve posted about and I’m definitely entering the giveaway! My husband and I are expecting our first baby in December and this looks like just the diaper bag we’ve been looking for – lots of room, many pockets, and “nothing frilly” for my husband. I love the Barbara Stripesand version. With the coral stripes and navy blue combination, there’s no way my husband could accuse me of making him carry a girly diaper bag!
The Grape Gatsby got me with it’s name!!!
I love the Locket Pocket Rocket in True Brit. Looks like a great bag!
I’m going with the Lock it pocket in Barbara stripesand!
I love the Grape Gatsby so cute!
There totes look amazing! Love the locket in your pocket True Brit
I’m crushing on the classic pocket rocket with the purple stripes. Thanks, Miranda.
So cute! What a great alternative to a diaper bag.
Oh, and I like the Morracan Roll.
I get sick of my diaper bag about once each week! These are cool, I like Got Damask! pattern but would have to choose your True Brit for the Lock It feature.
So dang cute! I love the idea of DIYing a cross-body strap, too
Those bags look amazing! I like the Barbara Stripesand in coral. So fun!
Thanks for the review, I’ve never heard of these bags! I’m kind of in a bag rut right now and this could be a great solution. It seems like I’m always needing something with just a little more structure or just one more pocket or whatever; the bags that have gotten my growing fam through the past 6 or 8 years just aren’t growing with us anymore! Although the stroller straps would be neat, they take a back seat to the Well Red design
The Lock It Barbara Stripesand is pretty sweet!
The Barbara Stripesand is super cute!
After waiting for many years, my daughter is finally expecting her first child! Needless to say she is looking for the perfect bag which she feels she found in the Barbara Stripesand – Coral. I had 5 children myself and I must admit -none of the bags I’ve used through the years were ever as functional as this one looks! This is a bag that can go from infant to daily use and will never “grow old.”
love the pocket rocket with red stripes!
I love the barbara stripesand coral bag!
Love the bag. Barbara Stripesand goes great with my kids.
love the well red, adorable bags, never heard of them till your post – thanks!
I love the well red
I LOVE the Flashback Paisley! Those are so cute!
This bag looks amazing!!!! I love the red stripe one!
This bag looks amazing. My biggest problem in life is dealing with hanging a bag on my stroller. I love the orange one!!!!
Love it in Racey Lacey Classic!! It would so match my Scout Shopper!! They would so look good together!!
Great review – thanks! I love this bag and have been wanting one, so this giveaway is perfect. Now, for the tough choice … which pattern?!
I have a thing for totes and coolers so you can imagine how much I love all the scout bags. I would love to have Barbara Stripes pattern.
ohhh I am so over my old diaper bag too. And with the second on the way I need an upgrade!
looks like fun. and then we can be twins. JK
I love the Barbara Stripesand – Coral bag, it’s colors make me happy and considering I’ve used the same 5.00 large boho style purse from Old navy for the last two babies, it’s definitely time for an upgrade!!
Grape gatsby would be such a treat.
I love the Barbara Stripesand -coral bag. The Lock it Pocket Rocket style would be awesome for me!
