Petunia Pickle Bottom Boxy Backpack

Review by Milmonster : Great bag for a mom of 2

I love this bag. Having two kids, a backpack is a must. It is a little yellower than I would have liked but it is so practical and easy. The Velcro on the front is intense. They probably didn't need to put so much on but it definitely keeps the bag closed.

Review by James Waller : Pricey but Purposeful

Despite the price, this is a tremendous bag and a worthwhile investment. We are currently traveling overseas with our newly adopted baby, and we needed a high-quality bag. This is our fourth child, and the fourth diaper bag that I have tried. Usually, they wear out after each baby, and I have tried everything from the economical $30-40 dollar range bag, to a $75 dollar bag. I was VERY reluctant to spend so much money when I have always held an "all bags are the same" mentality (except for the asthetic design). Still, after scouring the Internet for hours, asking friends and doing research, we decided to go ahead and spend the money. We have used the bag for several weeks and are very pleased. It's spacious, and versatile and I love the fact you can strap it on your back, hook it on the stroller, or use the shoulder strap.

We have been walking roughly 4-7 miles a day in the city where we are staying, and we can pack enough items for the day (and even a picnic for my husband and me). I will say, the bag is giant, but that's what we wanted. Also, when it initially arrived I was taken aback by the loudness of the velcro. I thought it would wake the baby up if I had to open it, or be a disruption at church or in a quiet place. It hasn't been an issue at all though. The bag may be difficult to stow away under a stroller basket (if you don't have the hooks), and our diaper wipes container does not fit any of the pockets in the front area (designated for that). Other than those minor things, there have been no other drawbacks for us! The diaper pad is soft and the front pocket area offers plenty of pockets for our mini-changing station. I like that it's a seperate compartment from the rest of the bag also. In addition, there is a hook where you can hang your keys, and a removable, smaller zip pocket on the inside. I also like the glazed finish and bright design.

For us, it was a sacrifice to spend this kind of money on a bag, which is why I didn't give it the full 5 stars (I don't think the price is necessarily justified). However, overall I would say it's been a worthwhile bag and I highly reccomend it!

Review by Annt79 "AnnT79" : perfect

For something that will be used daily and for future children, I was happy to splurge on this, and save somewhere else. I wish I had purchased the vinyl fabric instead of the silky fabric, but that's my fault. It is a little large, but will be great for all day outings or day trips.
