Anchored East Review
Ok. stop what you're doing and head over to Amazon and get yourself a new diaper bag!
I saw photos of Anchored East's diaper bag on Instagram a few months back and thought it looked so practical. The more I looked into it, the more things I liked about it. When I actually had the product in my hand, I fell in love!
First of all, if you don't know, I'm a mom to three little boys under 3.5 years old.
So, when I go to the zoo, preschool drop-off, grocery shopping, etc, I NEED something that actually works! Function over fashion for this mama. Luckily, this diaper bag is super cute, made with a thick, water-resistant polyester fabric, and gold-trimmed zippers! I scored with a functional AND fashionable bag!
Let's talk about pockets and storage!
There are nine pockets: four interior and five exterior. One of the interior pockets is insulated and can hold a formula bottle, water bottle, or whatever it is that you want to keep warm or cold. I can tell that the pockets are thought out because when I was switching all my stuff into this new diaper bag, I had leftover space. Everything had a place and I still was able to squeeze some of my own things in there like my water bottle and my own snacks!The design is not only cute, but the way you open and close the zipper on top is genius! I don't know how to explain it but their description on Amazon says that it has "double stitched areas and rivet reinforcement that provide a more durable, long lasting product." It really is durable. Another thing I love about this bag is that it's a backpack AND has stroller straps!!! When you're done wearing a backpack and just want to put it on your stroller, most backpack diaper bags don't have an easy method to attach it. You end up trying to hook the bag's straps over the stroller handles and it inevitably ends up falling onto the ground several times over the course of your time out and about. This bag has straps with buckles that make it super easy to actually attach the bag directly to the stroller. I didn't realize how much I needed this before. It's these little things that matter to me and make life so much easier. Of course, it comes with a waterproof changing mat with trendy chevron print, too, since I'm still needing that for my little guy.
Overall, I absolutely love this bag.
Even the price is better than most! I understand if you're a first-time mom and all you want is a trendy, super fashionable purse for a diaper bag, but let me tell you: it won't be long until you'll be searching Amazon for a functional, convenient backpack so you can have your hands free while chasing your kids around!Here's the direct link to the bag! Have a great weekend!xoxoNicole
