Petunia Pickle Bottom Boxy Backpack Diaper Bag - Passport To Prague

I bought this bag on the PP outlet site for 45% off. Was a bit worried because there were no returns, but figured I could sell it if necessary.

This was the 3rd diaper bag we have owned in 18 months. Each one had good qualities, but lacked 'something'. I owned the Coach diaper bag (too small), the Columbia soft, large diaper bag, too big, and now the PP Boxy Backpack (great choice)

I decided to go with the Boxy Backpack because the full diaper bag was too big for what I wanted, which was more of a purse/diaper bag. When this item arrived I was a bit hessitant because it didn't look like it had enough pockets. However, after using it for a few days I have realized it has just enough for what I was looking for in a diaper bag.

There are 2 side pockets, designed for bottles, but honestly, 1 can hold a bottle or water bottle and the other holds pacifiers, face wipes, etc. (smaller items).

Inside there is 1 small zipper pocket which works great for your id, cash, etc. The main inside area is very deep, which is great for another bag (I place all medical stuff in a separate bag), extra clothes, wallet, another water bottle or baby bottle, sippy cup, etc.

There are 2 outside pockets. One is great for the diapers and diaper wipe container (which comes with the bag) (the changing pad is inside the bag in a pocket). The other pocket contains the backpack straps, but can also hold other items (ie: clothes, wet naps, etc.)

Bottom line: This particular bag is a great choice if you are looking for something more versatile to serve as a purse and diaper bag. We are going to have a 2nd child in 6 weeks and this will work for 2 kids, which was another reason I wanted something more easy to carry.

Drawback: The only issue I have with this diaper bag is that it is a bit heavy. It seems to weigh more than the other bags I've owned. With the backpack option it is much easy to carry, but as a purse it is a little heavy. Without anything in it, it weighs more than most bags. However, I assume it's because the material is very duarble.

If you are 1st time mom, you will think you need something bigger, but the truth is, after about 6 months, you will want something smaller. Once the baby grows out of the infant stage, the larger bag is somewhat useless because you don't carry as much stuff. Also, with more than 1 kid, you realize you don't have to carry the world in your bag, especially as they get older.
