The Getaway Bag

We started with the Calpak Diaper Bag and didn't love how unstructured it felt (not to mention the empty pit of disorganization). We are 3 weeks and a road trip in to the Getaway with the Travel Bundle and it has been SO WORTH IT! I love the organization of the pockets, how light it feels when it's fully loaded, the cooler for bottles, and all of the pockets for organization. The Sidekick works great for diaper changes when we are at a restaurant so you don't have to take the entire bag in the bathroom. We have used it for travel, but also use it as our day-to-day diaper bag. Our only feedback is the zippers are a bit stiff. We are already eyeing the other pieces of luggage for our upcoming international trip.

I was a traveller until I had a family so I haven’t been travelling since, BUT I am the wife of a farmer and we live quite a fast paced lifestyle and this bag is PERFECT! I don’t pack much in my diaper bag just bare minimum essentials but this bag has MORE than enough room and organization for two kids. I ADORE the side access pockets, and that each side of the bag can be accessed from its own pocket, and the wet pocket on the bottom. I also love that it has the potential to be used well into our children’s lives when a diaper bag is no longer needed. This bag is well thought out and compact and EXACTLY what I was looking for.

I am obsessed with this bag. It makes life so much easier with a baby. I love the multiple compartments and the ability to organize our baby's essentials. We don't have to dig through the whole bag to find what we are looking for. I have already told so many family members about this bag! Totally recommend it!

I needed a diaper bag solution that was plane, train, bus and walking friendly, and I researched high and low until I found the Getaway Bag. And holy moly, did I put this through its paces! I packed this bag to its brim, and it saw me through several weeks of continuous travel.

Here are the pros:

- the separate compartments were a life-saver, especially the one for soiled/wet/stinky items.

- the diaper essentials hip sling is a must. We still use it in place of a real diaper bag when not traveling, because it's so convenient!

- super appreciate the adult pockets, very handy for passport/masks/kindle, etc.

- loved the laptop/tablet section. I was able to cram in my ipad and a few hardback kid books.

- the drawstring close for the main compartment, plus adjustable buckles for the lid, meant that I had lots of flexibility when packing, and the bag retained its structure (big big plus).

The only thing I didn't really use were the stroller straps. As I mentioned, I had this bag pretty packed, so its weight tended to tip the travel stroller when it was attached. But, points for comfort here, since I wore it in backpack mode for several weeks!

I honestly don't think my sanity would have survived our trip without this bag. While the price might make you pause, this is such a convenient bag for anyone considering long journeys with baby!

The Getawat backpack is great the profile is small so when walking through the airplane, narrow shinkansen rows, and crowded train stations, you don’t have to worry about it getting in the way. It holds all of our essentials and just incase items nicely. My only wish as a left handed person is that the pocket that stores the diaper bag/sidekick also had a double zipper option. It’s hard to get into that pocket for me. Other than that love this backpack and can’t wait to take

It on more travels with us.
