Diaper Backpack - Dani

Oh my goodness this bag is awesome! I had an overly expensive tote bag for my first born, which always felt flimsy and over stuffed. I was always losing stuff in there and things would fall out. We ended up using an old ratty jansport backpack most of the time, so I knew I wanted to get a cute backpack for this baby.First it's adorable and very trendy. Isn't it overly girly so my husband won't have a problem carrying it when needed as well.Second the amount of pockets are fantastic. They aren't all gigantic, so that you lose stuff in the bottom. They are very well laid out. I have a few pockets where I keep snacks for my son, and a few that I keep lotion/chapstick etc for me. You can see in my picture my wipe carrier, there are also four size 5 diapers and a swimmy under that- and you can tell there's tons of room left. (Baby no 2 isn't due for a few more months) I already had a paci holder, but there are several small pockets that can easily be accessed for that too. Trust me you don't want that paci MIA when you need it!The divider is actually really great for me. I can take my gigantic spectra s1 in the bottom part, and be able to access it without having to take everything out first. If I was trying to store other things I might get annoyed because there are pretty big holes at the sides of said divider,So if you were storing something at the top it very well could get lost in the bottom part.The insulated pocket is nice and tall. It goes from the bottom of the bag to about halfway up. Those tall dr brown bottles will more than likely fit (I've never used those) and I can get two 8oz avent bottles in there and those things are fat. So far I've only put a soppy cup in there but it fits with room to spare.I've only had it for a few outings so far but the quality feels great. I like that it's not plastic-y feeling, which a lot of diaper bags are so you can wipe them easy. It feels more like cloth, but does wipe clean easy. You can also machine wash it, tho I haven't tried so I cannot say anything about how it holds up.My only issue with this bag is the straps. I wish they weren't movable like thy are. Like I wish it was just like a normal backpack. They love you much, sometimes they don't feel snug enough against my back, and the shoulder strap cousions move around more than I'd like.

The bag is attractive and seems to be pretty well made. However, I returned for a few reasons. 1. I was intending on using as a combo pump/diaper bag. My medela pump in style and small medela cooler did not fit in the bottom of the bag together. Would have to stack one on top of other and then have an awkward space next to both. 2. The laptop sleeve did not fit my laptop, so if you have anything larger than a tablet or very small laptop, I would check the dimensions first, its probably not going to fit. Would work fine if you only want to hold a tablet though. 3. thought I could just use as a diaper bag only but it really doesnt have the pocket features I look for in a diaper bag. Too many unsecured pockets on the front, no bottle sleeves and only one small insulated pocket. Plus the detachable inner wall is very flimsy and doesnt create a full barrier between the spaces, there are holes on each side where items could fall down below. 4. If you want to use as a backpack, the straps arent that comfortable. If you are looking for something stylish and arent particular about some of the features I have mentioned, this bag might be a good fit.

I wasn't really in the market for a diaper bag when I purchased this. I saw one of those cheapy backpack diaper bags from China on my Facebook newsfeed and thought, maybe I need that. So, off to Amazon I went to research those. While reading reviews and whatnot, I came across this bag. I decided to buy it for two reasons. One, we are getting ready to take a road trip and a backpack style bag will be really helpful. And two, I was hoping this could double as a pump bag with the front compartment for my pump and insulated side pocket for bottles. Ok, three reasons, I also am skeptical of the quality and customer service for the Facebook bag I saw. Um, make that four, it's neutral yet pretty.So, upon unpacking and inspecting, I am really happy with this purchase. My giant spectra s2 fits in the front compartment. I did need to flip the divider up and remove the changing pad for it to fit well. My Joovy Boob (how can you not buy a bottle named boob?!?) bottles fit in the insulated pouch with a soft sided ice pack. And! My lunch bag and large wallet fit in the top compartment. I had been searching for a pump bag for a while and had been unable to find one that I was satisfied with from a style and price standpoint. Yay!As for use as a diaper bag, I will update this if anything relevant comes up during regular use. The backpack straps seem adequate. They are lightly padded. I thought the placement would be awkward, but I do not have any complaints. No, these aren't fancy ergonomic packpack straos, but, if I need that, then I will just use my fancy backpack. I like the side pouches for wipes and drinks. I believe that it should hold a 20oz water bottle or pop easily. I don't really care for too many pockets as I can't remember which pocket is holding what and things get lost (I lost a gogurt for two weeks in my current diaper bag, oops).Overall, this meets my expectations for my planned uses. Also, check their Facebook page for coupons. I did not pay retail for this bag. Double yay!
