Petunia Pickle Bottom Boxy Bbbr-00-260 Backpack,Earl Grey,One Size

I have this bag in a different print. The waterproof exterior sounds like a genius idea. What I have come to learn however is that it actually keeps the inside from drying out. And as soon as your little one grows up enough to always need a sippy cup, beware! We've had a few leaks from sippy cups and of course we keep snacks in the bag. I clean out the food but I just recently found a giant black mold patch where the inside never dried out! eek! I'm afraid I'm going to have to throw the bag away! I think the design & style of these bags is amazing and I loved having it, but now that my baby is a year & a half & I have another on the way, I'm learning how impractical it really is. The bag is also heavy and bulky all on it's own without all of your gear inside. I'll be happy to get a much more lightweight bag. It also doesn't have any "give" to the bag to expand to hold more if you need it to. I wont be purchasing another unfortunately. They are beautiful though!

Bought this as a baby shower gift for a friend, who adores it. I have the same one in another pattern and it has served me well. There could be a few functional improvements to the bag (it's more suited to diaper and outfit changes than feeding, which makes it less useful beyond the 6th month) but it is well-made, gorgeous to look at and generally a high-quality product.
