I have been searching for a good backpack diaper bag to please my DH-- in particular the Land's End backpack and the OiOi (discontinued and on Ebay) backpack. Does anyone have one they really love and that their husband's will wear or like?
Thanks for any ideas!!

Hi, Jen! We rec'd the LE backpack and are really liking it, esp DH! We have a 2yo and a newborn and it fits A LOT for us. With so many pockets, each baby has a pocket, we have a pocket, and there is another small mini pocket in the very front, too. We love having the two outer bottle mesh pockets...sippy for DS and water bottle for us, and the best part is that the straps are contoured and very well-padded, making it a very comfortable bag to carry, even when filled to the brim! I have my pretty bags (large bebe, A7, ST) but find that the backpack from LE is dominating my lineup!

HTH!

Thanks for the information, Tina!
What I really want is to make sure what I get is compartmentalized so everything doesn't fall to the bottom. I am an overpacker, too, and I assume I will need big bags. I am expecting my first so I'm not positive yet. What color do you have? I'm debating between black and red.
Any other backpacks I should consider, gals? I probably can't beat a $40 price tag with LE.

We have the black backpack, mostly since DH can only carry black while in uniform, and this way he can use it for a regular backpack, too. Here are some pics to show you each pocket's interior.

HTH!

Tina, Thank you for the pictures! It looks well organized and the color IS helpful to find things!

Has anyone tried any other bags, in particular the Kecci Voyage? I would love to know how that is for organization, I've never seen any posts on it.

We used the Lands End backpack for about a year, and loved it!! DS is now almost 2 so we no longer need something quite as big. I was more than pleased with it! It has such great organization, no black-hole syndrome. Overall I'm a huge fan of LE.
