Review on Baby Diaper Bag Backpack: 25L, Ultra Lightweight & Multifunctional, with Changing Mat, Stroller Straps & Organizer Pouches by Arlene Byrd

My wife is writing this review because as a busy mother of four who likes to 'just in case' and pack the essentials when we go out, I'm very sensitive to what works and what doesn't. I don't believe in tons of diaper bags - I want the ones that actually work when we're on the go, aren't ugly or smelly, aren't cheap, and are really comfortable. I need to pack my baby and toddler in our diaper bag, so we need a lot of space, thoughtful pockets and design, and easy to handle, pack and use with a stroller. This backpack style diaper bag is a winner in my book and that says a lot about this mom. Although we got a discount to try this product, I don't take the time to write reviews unless it's horribly bad or really good. This is of recent date. I think it's great for the price and I can well imagine taking it with me on trips instead of a normal backpack. It's practical, and while the concept might seem easy to grasp from reading this review, chances are you'll also be very hard pressed to find a bag that gets the job done and at a decent price. Some of them are poorly designed or look good, but they are uncomfortable or too heavy even before you put anything in them. This one fits snugly and gets the job done - finally a winner! It comes rolled up in a tiny package which is great for storing when you don't need it. It didn't have an unpleasant chemical smell, it had plenty of pockets, and the padded shoulder pads and back are shiny details that make it comfortable to wear. The added front closure that keeps the bag from falling off my shoulders (although the spacing is the same for my husband and I) is an added bonus. It comes with a changing pad (pretty thin is better than nothing though) and 2 wet pockets which are very helpful if your clothes are ruined or blown out and the color and style are simple and gender neutral which is nice. The stroller clips fit perfectly on our Babyzen Yoyo stroller. Only a few cons that come to mind: 1) It's not as big as our other diaper bag but still holds a lot and we take it with us when we go when you really need to take it (beach, hiking etc) because it's easy is to put it on and hang it on the stroller, while our other (not backpack style) is great to leave on the table to have on hand when visiting family and friends. 2) It's not super structured, but way better than those thin ones that can't even hold stuff in it, but if you're looking for something that will stand on its own when empty, you might be disappointed. It works for us - as it takes up less space and we need as much space as possible with 4 kids. 3) The bottle holder is very convenient for our Comomoto bottles. Overall a good buy - it's durable and easy to use. Functionality and good price. Busy mother of 4 - highly recommend!
