An Honest Review of The Adventure Proof Diaper Backpack
Hello Adventure Parents! We are excited to get a really through review of our Adventure Proof Diaper Back from Parenthood Adventures!
Here's some snippets from the full review you can read here!
Milk x Whiskey Diaper Bag Durability
The main reason we connected was due to the flimsy nature of most diaper bags. The cheap Amazon ones might look nice for a while, but they tear so quickly, you spend more in the long run replacing them.
I can tell this bag is very well made. The zippers are sturdy, the straps are thick, the material is thick as well. I wanted to photograph and show the backpack in this post after we’d abused it for a few months, and apart from some creasing on the fabric, which makes sense with its wax coating, it has held up completely with no signs of wear. Here’s what it’s made out of:
- Outer Shell: 1000D Wax Coated Kodra – premium durability and abrasion resistant. Weather Protection with Waxed Coating
- Inner Lining & Ground Cover Blanket: 150D Poly Ripstop – 100% recycled, rip resistant
- Stink Slayer Pocket & Weather Flaps: 600D Poly PU coating – waterproof & odor sealing
- 100% Vegetable-Tanned Leather Trims
Here are some top level reviews on why The Adventure Proof Diaper Backpack works so well for parents in the outdoors:
"Though we tested this bag in a travel setting and use it as our everyday diaper bag, the designers clearly made it for the trail as well. When hiking with a baby or toddler, hiking backpack carriers, while helpful, don’t tend to have the most storage. This backpack has that covered with 30L of potential space.
The insulated cooler would be perfect for hikes on a hot or cold day, when you need to keep snacks from melting or freezing. Beach days, hikes, lake days, and winter snowshoeing would all make sense with this backpack. Plus, the ground cover blanket is super helpful when it’s time to take a break.
The loops and hooks would allow for strapping things to the bag, as one would want with any outdoor backpack, and the back and shoulder straps are very well padded.
There are only a few cons. For one, since this bag is made from thick material and has so many extra features and inserts, the overall weight is more than a typical backpack – it’s a bit under 6 lbs empty. You can reduce this by leaving any inserts you don’t think you’ll need at home. It also doesn’t have a waist strap, which I find helpful when hiking.
Though this isn’t a con for everyone, it’s also more of a masculine look than, say, Dagne Dover (makes sense – that’s a company founded by moms and this is one created by dads!). That’s a very different vibe, but personally, I care more about functionality and capacity. Finally, so far, this only comes in one color, but that may change as the company grows."
