Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Backpack Diaper Bag

3 months into using this bag, and I really do love it. It has a ton of storage and is very versatile. I love the stroller clips on the straps- perfect for my Doona stroller, which has zero storage. This bag isn't too feminine as well; so my husband likes the bag as well!

I have a Dagne Dover in medium but needed a bag for travel that could store my laptop and a few more items while being more accessible. This bag is wide instead of tall and doesn't look or feel too large on while wearing a baby on the front. I have a small frame and could still handle it! Comfy straps, love the quality, layout is perfect. There is a laptop pocket, front cooler pocket, two interior pockets and storage pouches and a diaper pad included. The straps have clips for the stroller too. I don't know why this bag is not trending. It's now my every day bag!

I got this to double as a bag to take my toddler's stuff to the zoo, and as an art bag for me to carry a large iPad stand to draw. It's the only bag that fits it, and I'm pleasantly surprised and satisfied with the space of the bag. It can fit so much. The only thing is that there is no padding in the back so I added a wool felt pad (like those used for quilting) and it fit perfect and solved that issue. Otherwise it's perfect.

Bought from a gift registry for my sisters baby shower. They were very excited about it, especially the new dad. Good size, material and zippers seem very sturdy, loved the backpack feature.

This is the best baby bag ever! You can fit so much stuff in here. Its very durable. I also use it as my baby's luggage when we travel, because it holds so much.

Very spacious and durable. Pretty sure it will get my newborn through his toddler years.

Amazing - bought for great grandsons shower gift and filled it with a lot of necessities. It's amazing! Holds so much and well organized. Especially loved the thermo insulate pockets for food & bottles.

We got this as a gift before our twins were born (I hadn't done any research into diaper bags), and 6 months in it is going strong! We exclusively cloth diaper and it has enough space to have several diapers per kid plus extra clothes, blanket, milk (although the "chunky" medela bottles are hard to fit in the cooler compartment, dr brown fit fine), and pumping gear. The interior is a white/light blue print, which makes it easier to find stuff than if it was a black lined hole. The extra sturdy zipper is great for when I also need to mash a carrier in! The only problem is you can't get a Nalgene-style liter bottle in the exterior pocket. The flat one out front is great for doctor visits where they give you a printout. We actually loaded it up and used it as the babies' hospital bag ahead of their arrival, and I can see it holding up until they are beyond needing a change of clothes every time we leave the house.

This bag is a great overall size. Having a wider bag allows for quicker access and doesn't allow for items to get lost at the bottom of the bag. The build quality seems very solid along with the zippers feeling robust.

I spent A LOT of time searching for the right diaper bag, as I knew that I would be using it daily/for multiple years. I was seeing a lot of sponsored ads for the Lululemon, Beis, and Dagne Dover diaper bags, which I really liked, but couldn't wrap my mind around spending $200 on a diaper bag!! I ended up finding this bag and I am so glad I did! The bag is large enough to fit all of the essentials + toys, snacks, food mats, and more. I love that the two inside pockets help keep things organized, and that the bag comes with a changing pad and extra zipper bag for dirty diapers/clothing. The front zipper words great for holding diaper cream/paci's/other small misc items. I agree with other reviews that the cooler is a bit tight, but it really hasn't been a problem for us. We can easily fit a few bottles and apple sauce pouches in the cooler for when we are on the go. I did not necessarily care for the look of the double strap across the top, but they have actually been super practical - we use them to carry the bag all the time! Lastly, the straight across zippers are amazing. Before having a child, I didn't realize how important it was to be able to open a zipper with one hand HA but turns out it is very important! Overall, the size, bonus items, and functionality of this diaper bag are amazing. I couldn't recommend this diaper bag enough! *My husband also really likes this bag! He likes that the design isn't super "girly", the straps are comfortable for him, and the bag fits his 6'5" frame well. 10 out of 10.

I love this diaper bag. I was unsure at first due to the size and spent a lot of time looking. For the cost of most diaper bags on the market compared to this bag, it is a stand out option in my opinion. I no longer think its too big! That was my first impression, but after using it for a few months, I actually enjoy the size. I do wish the bottle section was slightly recessed into the bag so it did not stick out so much, but honestly it doesn't bother me anymore. You can fit 4 bottles if wide, 5 if skinny. Bottle section is very insulated and has a mesh sleeve to hold a thin ice pack. The main section is very large and very simple, pocket for changing pad and two large pockets for storage. I use packing cubes for diapers and extra clothes. Fits daily needs with ease and room to throw extra things in when needed without redoing your daily things. Easy to find what you are looking for, wide and not too deep. Also great for overnight trips, can fit a lot when needed. Middle pocket is great for parent essentials, phone keys wallet sunglasses. I do wish the middle compartment had the fabric stitched away from the zipper more. Fabric got stuck in zipper a bit at first but has seemed to improve with use. I love being able to grab by handles when needed or wear as backpack, sits very comfortably on back. The zippers on this bag are very high quality and easy to zip. A few months in and I am very happy with purchase, this bag will last for life and can definitely be used for other things once you no longer need a diaper bag. Checkbook in pics for size reference.

We are going from one child to two very soon so I was looking for a spacious diaper bag that was also more rugged for our outdoor activities and travel (as well as being something my husband wouldn't mind carrying as well). I have purchased four diaper bags in the past but each was lacking in certain features. This bag seems to have hit every one of those wishes! First, it is spacious enough to tote whatever you really would want and you can easily see inside the bag since it is much wider and shallower than an average diaper bag. There are also not too many interior pockets (I have found that when you have too many you just treasure hunt around for what you are looking for) which simplifies searching. The exterior seems very rugged and toughall of my diaper bags have taken a beating but this one seems like it will stand up to a lot of abuse. The zippers are easy to pull and the straps are very comfortable (this was a major issue I've had with most of my diaper bagseither zero padding or minimal padding). The exterior mesh pocket fits wipes perfectly and keeps them at hand. I'm super happy with this purchase. My only complaint is the handle at the top can get in the way of unzipping the bag but it's so minor that it didn't warrant a reduction to four stars. Thanks for making a great outdoor-oriented diaper bag that isn't ridiculous looking or over two hundred dollars.

Coming from someone who is very picky about bags, this bag is spacious, yet organized, it feels high quality while using it, space for both baby things and personal things, if needed. Comfortable to wear and happy with the versatility. It doesn't have a typical diaper bag look, which I love. A good purchase, for sure.

Thought it would be too small but tons of room. Absolutely awesome diaper bag for two kids

We have had this bag only for a week, but compared to our previous bag it is top-notch. We love the look of the bag - we got it in green. The zippers are durable and easy to pull. The bag is very comfortable to have on your back and has good straps positioned to carry the bag like a briefcase. It has all the pockets and compartments you would expect. It doesn't look like a big bag, but there is so much room in the main compartment.

Very happy with this backpack. It's very spacious and well made.

Best diaper bag we have ever had! We have tried many diaper bags that couldn't fit everything we wanted. Room for everything you need - diapers, creams, burp cloths, wipes, toys, food, & bottles. If you use the narrow bottles you can easily fit five within the cooler section.

It is awesome!!! Plenty of room for everything you need for baby.

Love this backpack. It's bigger than I expected which made it excellent for travel or planning a full day out with packed food etc. Would even work well for more than one child. I like how durable it is with well thought out pockets. The diaper pad that comes with is a little small and kind of useless but the little interior zip bag is great for diapers and wipes. I love the clips on the shoulder straps that make it a breeze to clip the bag to my stroller. We have also used it as an impromptu booster seat when in a pinch. It is definitely a very functional bag I am sure I will use it a weekender after I no longer need it as a diaper bag. My only thought would be I wish it could zip smaller like a suitcase when not using all the space or for quick outings. Otherwise excellent diaper bag / backpack.

I received this diaper bag for Christmas and requested it mainly because we just had a boy and it match his fly fishing nursery theme! I was completely shocked with the size of it! It's huge but yet still compact enough that it's not bulky. Plenty of space to fit everything for my newborn and toddler as well as my stuff! Great quality too!

I honestly don't know why this diaper bag doesn't appear on "best of" lists for parents. Its the perfect size, stylish and I like the way it is organized. The main compartment has more than enough space for a couple blankets, wipes, diapers, toys, my nursing cover, extra outfits, stroller fan, etc. and the pockets inside keep everything from getting disorganized. When packed with all of that, there is still room to spare. I wish the second compartment was a little deeper but it's a great place to stash my wallet, pacifiers and other things you might want quick access to and a few other essentials for me if I don't want to carry a purse (my smaller purses will also fit in the main compartment when I'm trying to condense the items I'm carrying). The insulated compartment on the front fits 3 glass Philips Avent bottles or 4 Dr. Browns skinny bottles comfortably plus two skinny ice packs that fit nicely in the sleeve. It has kept bottles cold for up to 8 hours, haven't tested it longer than that. Have also worn it all day with no back pain. Extra pockets on the outside are great for quickly stashing things when you often have only one hand free or are great for a bottle/water bottle. Its size and shape are also really great for travel- fits perfectly beneath an airplane seat and doesn't take up much room in an overhead bin.

imagine if these were customized! can you please add monogramming????

This is our fourth.yes, FOURTH diaper bag and it is by far the best and last one we will ever need. We have had it a few weeks now and it is a game changer the largest compartment is big enough to hold everything yet still be able to grab whatever you need with ease. The changing mat has saved the day in many non baby changing friendly areas. I love love love the compartment for the parents in the front it's easy access and larger than the other bags we have tried! The insulated pouch in the front is by far the best in comparison to other bags, it is like a built in insulated lunch box! Lastlymy favorite part! The BUILT IN STROLLER STRAPS. no more searching for your clips, that are always there and ready! Not to mention it is comfortable and could be used after babies as a regular back pack.

Great product. Very functional and thoughtful design. Easy to clean material that seems to be stain resistant. Highly recommend if you are looking for a diaper bag from LL Bean.

I bought 2 of these for my son and son-in-law, who are new papas. The colors just looked right for the guys and I thought they would be more willing to help out if they had their own luggage! Number of compartments is great, so is the lining, the inclusion of the changing pad, and the quality of the materials. I filled both bags with necessary equipment and wrapped them up. The guys were excited.
