When talking diaper bags with expecting mom’s or ones who are in the market for a new diaper bag, my NUMBER ONE recommendation is to get a backpack style diaper bag! As moms, we are the queens of multi-tasking and we need BOTH hands available at all times! Especially if you have twins! We don’t have time to be tugging or holding onto a diaper bag strap! No sir-ee!
My first backpack diaper bag was great but after a while the white on it started to look dingy, so I found myself in the market for a new one! I actually used big sis’s Kindergarten backpack from Pottery Barn for a while as I searched for one I loved. I was super picky and had certain criteria that it had to meet!
Finally, fate (ie. Instagram) stepped in and I found the one! I have been loving my RYLA diaper bag for the past couple months! Here’s why:
Backpack Style
Obviously. Enough said.
Durability/Wearability
If you want to see some “real life” testing, go check RYLA’s Instagram Highlights! They put their bag through some pretty bizarre tests but, yano, anything can happen in motherhood! The faux leather material wears very well and wipes of easily! Double win.
Chic Style
I pretty much wanted a diaper bag that didn’t really look like a diaper bag! Let me tell you, I want to carry this bag even when I don’t have the girls with me! I am crushing on the black faux leather with gold zippers! The MK purse I had before the girls was black with gold accents so I think I was naturally drawn to this combo! I also love that it’s not super girly and my husband doesn’t mind to carry it!
Organization
Holy Pockets! This bag has all the pockets for all the things! I especially love the two outside pockets. I love that everything has its own place and isn’t just floating around together in the main compartment.
TWO Outside Pockets
A lot of diaper bags that were similar to this style only had one outside drink pocket. With the twins, I had to have one with 2 outside pockets! The insulated pockets inside are awesome but at this age, I like that the girls can grab their own cups from the outside of the bag!
Customer Service
The couple that runs this company are the sweetest! I emailed them before ordering and they were very helpful! They have the cutest little boys and I love following them on Instagram. It’s nice to know you are supporting a loving family’s dream!
They are so awesome that they even gave me a discount code to share with y’all! Use KATIE15 to get 15% off at checkout!
Whether you are shopping for yourself or for someone else as a shower gift, I promise it will be a hit! Imagine getting this as a shower gift filled with all the necessities! You will earn some serious Thank You’s from a very happy mama!
