The Perfect Diaper Bag
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2015
I spent hours searching for a messenger type diaper bag and decided to give this a try. I love it!It holds everything I need, and sits comfortably across my back. It is so much easier than a big bulky purse diaper bag when I'm chasing my 3 year old! Because of the buckle, I can easily hook it to my stroller, too.The front pockets are small- I keep a pacifier and a mini hand sanitizer in those. My iPhone 5c can fit in the top pocket but it doesn't close. I usually just tuck it into one of the big pockets or my pants pocket instead.There are two interior pockets. One is large and the other is smallish. I keep my wallet in the small one, and cram the other one full of all my mom stuff. I only like to take the bare essentials, so if you are a "kitchen sink" type, you might want to stick to a giant purse.What I can fit:Pack of wipes2-4 diapers2 burp clothsNursing coverSnacksSippy cupA couple baby toysKeys, phone, wallet

Updating my review to 5 star after my vacation. This ended up being the perfect Disney daypack. It had enough room for the essentials, but was small enough that I wasn't tempted to pack non-essentials (if you know what I mean). I found that I could carry on my left shoulder or crossbody, which gave me an option when one side wore out. I've now switched it to be my commuter tote. I can carry my lunch, a small knitting project, my iPod, Kindle and a water bottle very comfortably. And it fits easily on my shoulder with my regular purse. Colors seem to be staying, so far. Hope it stays bright and kicky for a good long time!-----------------------------I'm going to give this a provisional 4 star rating, but it could go higher if it holds up well on vacation (which was the reason for purchase). The colors are really vibrant and happy. Seems to be very well-made and organized for convenience with a good number of pockets. I like the way it fits (but I'm a little taller for a woman (5'8") and it might be a little overwhelming on someone petite). Really like the rope strap; looks stylish and utilitarian at the same time - which I find fun.
Great for the Left-Handed, Right-Handed not so much

I love the pattern on this bag and couldn't resist trying it out! I was hoping it could be a replacement for a larger back-pack for me.The Pros: It fit everything I usually carry, wallet, cosmetic case, small gadget pouch, multiple sets of keys, cell phone (Samsung Galaxy S4) in a Trident Aegis case (the lower outside pocket worked fine for it.) My Kindle or Fire 8 fit fine. I stuck a collapsible umbrella in and it fit, too. It holds an amazing amount. A trade paperback or a hardcover I'm sure would fit as well. The canvas fabric seems sturdy but not stiff. I would not use it in the rain, though.The Cons: I cannot hang it off my right shoulder, only my left. If I want to carry it on my back, the strap has to be on my right shoulder which feels weird. If you want to pull it around under your left arm to take something out of the larger main compartment it works ok, but the smaller compartment isn't accessible because everything in it would fall out. So I guess you take it off to get to that stuff? It just seems really awkward to me. Also, because it's canvas and rope it doesn't slide easily around. Probably the polyester Sling Bag version would work better for that, but it's also only left- oriented, unfortunately.I think I will be returning this bag. My Ameribag HBB holds just as much and is usable on either shoulder.
Donât let the size fool you.

I got this bag for my everyday bag/purse. So Iâll start off by saying that this bag really holds more than you would think by just looking at it. Upon arrival I was a little surprised that it wasnât as big as I thought it would be, given that most reviewers use this as a diaper bag. However, once I started packing my items in it, I found i was able to carry a lot more in it than a traditional purse or even the Meru sling bag. In the largest compartment I carry my kindle, glass case, 8oz bottle of lotion, keys, phone charger (and sometimes a journal). On the other side, in the slightly smaller compartment, I carry travel tissues, a small pencil bag for my personal care and first aid kit, and a 2oz bottle of an on the go stain remover. In the bottom compartment on the front of the bag, I carry my checkbook, small coin purse/wallet, two pens, and my iPhone 6. In the top front compartment, I carry 1oz bottle of hand sanitizer, ear buds, pocket knife, and lip balm. Donât let the size fool you. It is able to hold quite a bit without it being uncomfortable on your shoulder. I donât think I can ever go back to a cross body or hobo purse. I even have quite a bit of space left over. The multiple compartments make everything organized and easy to find. I love it so much I even bought a second one, the polyester one since that one is water resistant and easy to clean.**NOTE: this bag CAN fit an 11â laptop and be zipped up. In my pics, you can see my 11â hp inside my kavu. It definitely can not hold anything larger.
More colors needed for the vinyl ones!

I bought this instead of a fanny pack for touring as I knew souvenirs wouldn't fit in the fanny pack. The pattern and color is outstanding! I wanted the polyester one instead of canvas for its water resistance but they don't have that one in as many pretty patterns and colors so I got this and scotchguarded it with zero issues. The rope straps are thick and very well made compared to a knockoff brand I have. Pictured is the El Paso pattern Kavu with the knock-off "Ambry" brand which has slightly more room, more padding on the back, a softer feel but lesser quality rope for the straps. They were already fraying upon arrival in a few spots but it cost half of the Kavu so gave it a try.

I bought it thinking it will not fit a lot but I was wrong. I change everything that was in my purse to this bag and I still have plenty of space for other things. I could fit a book, a water bottle, a wallet, a pack of kleenex and way more. The way the bag is made, even when the bag is more fill, don't feel too heavy. I'm just not used to wear it on my right shoulder but I will get used to it. It is a very nice quality and for the price it does its job. I used it on a daily base but also when I go hiking or for a bicycle ride in town and I'm always free hand and I loved it. Will maybe buy another with an other patern since they are all pretty cute.

Too expensive! Has some finishing that is ruff and was scratching me all day today!!The small pocket with Velcro is weak & is too small. Wish it had a zipper so I could put my keys in it. So insted I put mints in it other wise useless because it's not secure. That said I wish the other smaller pocket in inside was in the bavk of the outside. It isn't easily accessible because everything will fall out when you try due to shape of the bag. The other outer pocket is good for iPhone. Overall good idea but poor design.

La mochila es increÃble. Se siente de muy buena calidad y es muy práctica. Me la llevé a Disney World y me funcionó perfecto, además de que vi a muchas personas con la misma mochila. Debido a que el material es de lona, se mancha muy fácilmente. Pero por lo mismo se siente muy resistente también. No es muy grande, por lo que la recomiendo para viajes pequeños donde tienes que llevar tus cosas más esenciales

Great comfortable to wear. Plus size person can wear it. I use this for crossbody carrying or single shoulder. Pockets are spacious hold alot of items. Use as daypurse and hiking accessory. Made from quality materials. Already washed it once zero shrinkage. LOVE this bag. NOTE: Im right handed, might feel awkward for lefties as this item sling is only on one side. Worn crossbody right shoulder.

Just recently received my KAVU rope bag. It arrived very quickly. I think in 3 days. I love it. I wish it had more pockets inside. To compensate for not having enough pockets inside, I have been using a clear type zipper sleeves so that I can organize my items like (coupons, hairbrush, makeup etc.). Also, because I am too lazy to take it off when I am driving, I have to get use to having it sitting at may side under my elbow near the car door(not sure if anybody else does this). I also sprayed water repellant on it to protect it from the elements. Overall very happy with my purchase.

Used this while on family vacation! Absolutely loved it!! I was able to have some snacks in here and a water bottle and of course my wallet! I also added a camera clip, so my camera was always easy to reach!! Best combo!!!
