I’m a 3rd time mom and have learned to only need the essentials while out and about. I had been using a large leather diaper bag that I got with my 2nd, but it was starting to get worn and the zipper was wearing out so I started looking at alternatives. At first I was thinking about a leather backpack, but the prices were off putting so I searched around. I have a diaper clutch from TwelveLittle so I checked to see what they had and came across this one. It seemed to be a good size and the reviews were good so I gave it a try. I LOVE IT!!! It’s perfect for all of my essentials, plus I can fit my water bottle (Owala FreeSip) securely in a side pocket, which I didn’t even realize I wanted. It’s amazing. My one complaint is that the straps are made from a slippery material, so often, especially if I have my water bottle in the bag, when I put it on, the straps loosen. It’s not that big of a deal because even when all the way loose, the straps are comfortable, but I may sew a few stitches or use a safety pin so they stay where I prefer them to be. That’s a very minor inconvenience though, I highly recommend this backpack!
