    Diaper Bag

    We have been using this as our diaper bag for about a week and I love it. it trumps any diaper bad we have seen in the store or online or have tried ourselves. I love having one pocket for diapers, wipes, and back up clothes; one pocket for formula, burp clothes, and bibs; one pocket for health and safety stuff; one pocket for bottles; and water, and one pocket for my stuff. I'm going to have to get a couple back ups when they go on sale again just incase a zipper breaks.

    The best backpack for school

    Good storage, poor zipper quality

    The size and variety of storage have been great for my high schooler. However the zipper on the main compartment has constantly gotten caught on the fabric, jammed, “off track”, and is now just broken. After only 3 months of use it is very disappointing

    Disappointed

    Cute backpack, but the bottom fell out right away. Tried to fix it, but it didn't last. The leather bottom is definitely not supportive enough.
