Hi all! I received this last week and have taken some time to give it a good workout. :) I don't have pictures yet, but will post them sometime today.
If you're familiar with the Baby Sherpa, this is it's little sister.
EXTERIOR:
(1) Insulated, detachable bottle holder (fits Avent), zips shut (on one side)
(1) Mesh bottle/sippy/water bottle holder, open top (on the other side)
(2) small mesh pockets on sides (would hold a thin bottle/sippy)
(1) large mesh pocket on front with snap closure
(1) small zippered, padded pouch with depth and elastic mesh pocket inside (perfect of sunglasses, cell phone, small baby items, etc...)
(1) large back pocket, holds LARGE, padded changing pad
Lots of hooks and loops for attaching anything from pacis to sunglasses, or anything with a caribiner
Rubberized grip handle (not flimsy, it's hard) for a secure hold, no matter the weight of the bag
Extra padded straps (very comfy!)
Chest strap, to help disburse the weight
Hanging loop, nylon webbing loop for hanging bag
(2) Color options: Cobalt Blue or Black
(2) Strips of reflective tape sewn on
MAIN INTERIOR:
(1) Zippered pocket along back
(1) Big pocket (I can fit 2-3 outfits in there)
(1) Mesh, elastic pocket along front (also spacious)
(1) Key Clip
Two-way zipper closure, nice zippers and pulls too!
Water-resistant nylon, light grey interior (no black hole!)
COOLER COMPARTMENT:
Smaller than the Baby Sherpa, but still very generous!
Insulated with small drainage hole at bottom
Mesh pocket for holding ice packs, etc.
Will hold 7 cans of Coke + an ice pack OR 6 (size 4) diapers + Huggies Wipes pack
Overall, I love it. :) I already loved my Sherpa, but this one is a much more manageable size for outings, and it fits in my strollers' baskets. The overall design is definitely sporty, but it's so functional that I really enjoy using it. If it came in brocade, I'd be in heaven!!
I have the Cobalt Blue color. It has black accents and yellow piping. The overall design is a little more up-to-date, but still keeping it's "active" look. The smaller size fits better on my 5'2" frame, and I don't feel like I'm being eaten by my backpack. Which is always a good thing. :)
A few things I want to highlight:
- If you're annoyed by small, thin changing pads, you'll LOVE this changing pad. It's a large, tri-fold foam pad covered in nylon for easy cleaning. They were smart enough to put the changing pad on the back of the bag, which cushions YOUR back and keeps you comfy!
- The cooler compartment is perfect for snacks, EBM, bottles, etc. Once you use it, you'll wonder how you managed without it. When I'm not toting perishables, I keep all the diaper change stuff in there.
- It holds a lot! If you think it's too small, try packing it up. You'll be pleasantly surprised!
- Despite all the cool extras, it's lightweight.
- You can reduce the width by detaching the bottle holders
- You can also reattach the bottle holders to another bag or your stroller! I have it attached to my Zippy now. :)
Anyhow, feel free to ask any questions, I'd be more than happy to answer! I'll post some photos today!
