The Devyn Bag

I'm a recent stay-at-home mom with two kids, and I'm SO happy to finally have one bag that meets all of my needs. For me, this bag functions as a diaper bag + cooler + laptop bag. I use this bag EVERY day (and I love it so much, I've purchased it as a gift for two other moms-to-be!) I really like that it has 3 different compartments designed to meet different functions. I use the insulated cooler compartment every day (since I never go anywhere with my kids without snacks and drinks!) I was skeptical of the ice packs at first, but discovered on Day 1 that they work great and keep everything ooober cool. I also like the protective laptop compartment. It's been nice to have my laptop with me on longer excursions (I use it to entertain my 4 year old on plane trips) or when I have both kids at an organized activity and actually have a few minutes to myself to catch up on emails. Also, I've used the laptop compartment as extra storage for other items on days I do not want/need my laptop with me. I use the outer compartment for diapers and wipes, and I use the pockets within that compartment for my purse items. The shoulder strap is adjustable and very comfortable every way I've worn it. I wasn't sure I'd like the velcro closure on the outer flap, but have discovered it fastens very securely AND serves 2 critical functions for me. First, it provides quick and easy access to the inner compartments (since I can get into the bag with just one hand, I can easily grab the extra binkie for the crying baby or sippy cup for the parched preschooler without needing to pull the car over to free both hands.) Second, I found that the velcro flap allows variability in the bag's "stuffing capacity". The bag's fabric and manufacture appear very high quality and durable and so far, have held up fabulously to the daily wear and tear I put the bag through. Oh and how could I forget?! My very favorite part of this bag is the small outer pocket on the side. Since this pocket is the ultimate in "easy access" I use this for my phone and keys. I definitely recommend this bag for any mom who ever leaves the house with her kiddos Totally worth the money to have a durable (and stylish) bag that meets so many different functions.I had high hopes for the Devyn Bag and it has exceeded every one of them! As a stay-at-home mom of a two-year-old, I am constantly on the go and never without the Devyn. First of all, it holds SO much without weighing me down or feeling bulky. I typically use the cold storage section to stash snacks/lunch for my daughter and me during the day; the middle (laptop) section holds a changing pad, dipes, and wipes when I'm not traveling with my computer; and the outer compartment is amazingly roomy and can fit snacks, my wallet, sunscreen, and even an extra change of clothes for my daughter in case of emergencies. I love that I can lift the flap quickly and find what I need in no time at all ... a small convenience that means a lot when juggling a toddler. Oh and there's even room for a small Starbucks or other coffee cup in the outer section it fits nicely into one of the built-in pockets-bonus! All of the compartments are well thought out and the perfect size for their contents. It keeps me organized and makes sure that I never have to dig around to find anything. Another wonderful feature of the Devyn Bag is that it's very durable and is easy to clean. I've gone through countless diaper bags in the past some pretty pricey that don't stay looking nice for very long -or they fall apart. The Devyn Bag is made to withstand the rigors of travel or life in general with kids. And it couldn't be easier to clean ... just a swipe of a damp towel and it looks like new. All that said, it's a really stylish bag as well. It looks just as good in the office as it does at the park. I would recommend this bag to any parent ... from traveling, working, stay-at-home moms, those with toddlers or older children, and first-time moms with a newborn. It's versatile enough that I love it for use with my toddler and will enjoy using it when I have my second child to store breast milk. It's the ultimate bag!
