On the alternative aspect from the place you enter that essential pocket, one other aspect pocket is designed to carry diaper-changing supplies, or the Sidekick, a separate diaper-bag waist pack. It’s not a very deep pocket, although, so it didn’t maintain as many diapers as I might have favored; I usually had extra diapers within the bigger inside pockets with a tube of diaper cream. I additionally examined the Sidekick and located it actually didn’t match into the pocket as simply as I’d hoped.
It additionally has stroller clips and a baggage pass-through, and might even match a 15-inch laptop computer in one of many pockets, so it’s made for a wide range of journey. It comes with slightly insulated lunch bag, which is a advantageous dimension to suit two bottles or a few child yogurts and an ice pack.
No Altering Pad
This bag is designed for fogeys. Whereas I name it a diaper bag, because it has a pocket meant for diaper supplies, it’s lacking a key element: a altering pad.
As a substitute, No Reception features a altering pad within the Sidekick. The Getaway Bag prices $235 by itself, and to bundle it with the Sidekick prices $275. (You’ll avoid wasting cash, but it surely’s nonetheless not low-cost by any means.) The Sidekick is a superbly made waist pack, but it surely really matches simply a few diapers, a pack of wipes, and the included altering pad. I generally stuff my cellphone and pockets among the many diapers, but it surely simply feels bizarre that there’s nowhere else for my cellphone to go. (Then once more, I additionally throw my cellphone into the altering pad pocket of my favorite diaper bag.)
Technically, I don’t want a altering pad, and I may simply buy my very own for less expensive than $85 if I wished to make use of the Getaway Bag with out the Sidekick. However it’s irritating that it’s not noted when this backpack is already so dear.
I can’t ignore that it’s well-made and far nicer to put on to an amusement park or take to grandma’s home for the day. My husband and I are each glad to put on and use the Getaway Bag, and I’ll stuff my cellphone between a number of diapers within the Sidekick to convey the altering pad alongside for the day.
