I did a LOT of research before deciding on this particular backpack for my son. We've been using it for almost a year now and have absolutely loved it. We also have a Sugarbooger lunch bag to match and a splat mat in another Sugarbooger pattern (Outerspace) and love them both as well. The backpack is just the right size for taking to mother's day out and short nursery stays, or on trips in the car. We pretty much take it everywhere with us; for the amount we've used it already, the price was extremely reasonable. I fit several diapers (sz 5), a travel package of wipes, an insulated sippy cup, a package of diaper disposal bags, at least one toy, some crayons, and usually a fruit pouch and/or fruit snacks in it at one time, so it's pretty roomy. The nice thing is that the flap with the velcro is the only fastener so you don't have to worry about overstuffing it and breaking a zipper or anything. There is a zipper pocket inside, but I've never actually used it. My son is almost two and still a bit young to carry it on his back, but the top handle makes it just as easy for me to carry around. I love that the style, size and pattern are such that my son will probably be carrying this around until he goes to kindergarten and maybe even longer. Just a note: I had this monogrammed with his name pretty large on the flap in brown and it looks adorable. There was an ID sleeve on the inside of the pouch that the monogrammer removed in order to monogram it, but that was no big deal and didn't cost extra. I've also washed this in my washing machine and just hung it up to dry and it faired just fine. The inside can be easily wiped out, but the outside is a durable fabric (almost like a canvas) that isn't as easily wiped down, but came out of the washer perfectly clean. I get lots of compliments on my Sugarbooger products because they're so cute and unique!
