List Price atm: $59.95

This bag arrives inside of a drawstring sack. It seems excessive, but is a nice touch. I’ll probably fold the bag up to stash in the diaper bag as a laundry sack or some such. At a first assessment I can say that THIS is what I expect from a $60 backpack diaper bag. There are numerous, multi-purpose, variously sized pockets. The shoulder straps and back are amply padded. The stroller straps are adjustable. Seems great!
The one side has an insulated pocket that is spacious. I would feel comfortable that I could fit at least two bottles in here well. There is also a nylon lined pocket on this side. It’s narrow but deep. Would probably be a good toy pocket.
The other side has your wipe holding pocket. Some people might complain that they did not include a case for this. I’m glad they did not. I have had nothing but bad luck with bag provided wipe cases. They never last, and then the pocket is sewn just for THAT case, so a standard pack just doesn’t fit right. So, I like that they made this pocket universal. There is also another tall, nylon lined pocket.
On the front, at the top there is a nice deep, tray like pocket. I like this and have not seen it’s exact design elsewhere. Below that there’s a zipper pouch that would be well sized and shaped for sunglasses or whatever else. There’s also a velcro, flap pocket on the bottom half. It looks skinny in the picture, but it actually measures about 2” from front to back. Not bad for a front slip pocket. The flap of this has a shallow zipper pouch. Would be great for change.
The main pocket of the bag zips far back along the edge. Inside, on the back panel there is a zipper pouch that is about 5” deep. Then below that there are two pockets, topped with an elastic. On the front portion of this section you can see the pouch that’s created by the front “tray” pocket, and there’s also an open slip pocket.
They’ve included a changing pad. I’m much happier with this pad than I was with the last company’s. Bag Nation has actually included a nicely padded, sturdy changing pad with some body to it. Besides the pad there’s what they call a “sundries bag”, it’s a small, round corner zip bag. Inside there is a mesh pocket with elastic at the top. The walls appear to be rubberized? This would probably be really nice for your travel soaps and what not, so if you have a leak it would be more contained.
I have read other reviews and am quite nervous now. I’m afraid that I’ll be in love with this bag and have it bite the dust when I need it. I have a 3 year old and am due in November. I NEED a good diaper bag and I’m really hoping that this is it. I’m happy to know that if I do have damage happen that I will receive good customer care and have the chance to try a second.
I received this bag at a deep discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
