I have tried many different options for baby bags but I always go back and forth because with a big one they end up being bulky and carrying unnecessary items, but then smaller totes do not have the organizational capacity that makes the messy moments or on-the-go needs go more smoothly. What I like about this one is that it seems to be medium in size but there are TONS of pockets and options for storage. Everywhere you look is a pocket with makes it a breeze to find feeding supplies, pacis, portable meds & wash or powder bottles, burp cloths, extra blanket, outfits, diapers, wipes & more!
The attached changing pad can be removed which is a step up from my much more expensive name brand bag that always ended up getting in the way during changing because it merely folded out. This one can be detached and placed on changing tables, floor, bed, lap; anywhere you need to provide protection from those nasty germs and also in case of big messes you are able to contain it all and then spray it down and wipe to clean/dry. Since that portion zips up on the sides, you could also use that for extra storage as well. Inside and behind the changing pad are two larger elastic pockets! A great use of space.
The handles are remarkably inventive because it makes it easy to throw over your shoulder or pack on your back for longer treks, walks & trips. Having those backpack type straps is essential to be able to clip this to a stroller and I love the versatility because we had at one time utilized a regular backpack on vacation and not having any other way to wear it for short bouts was a little burdensome.
The print is super cute for us because we love an arrow or tribal type design but the dark background allows for much longer use when you aren't concerned about stains happening and it can mask a lot which is important when you have bigger babes whose hands often and for seemingly no reason, end up grubby & collecting grime & touching everything clean you own. This appears that it will wash up well and is of a material that could easily be sprayed out and air dried in no time at all.
It's also quite lightweight which is a must because all those little essentials inevitably end up weighing more than the baby itself!
The elastic pockets are super handy for sippies, bottles, & snacks and luckily they are plentiful inside & out.
It has a handy key clip on the inside and little feet on the bottom so it actually stands up, unlike every other backpack type bag we've used and even some of the smaller totes that tend to topple.
This is honestly the first bag we've had in a long time that I can see using for quite a while. I cannot find any area in which it is proved lacking.
