Padded shoulder straps with soft fabric provide a comfortable fit, although our tester noticed the polyester material of the backpack was a bit scratchy against the skin and may not be ideal when wearing a tank top.

Our tester had zero complaints about the bag’s comfort but scored it 4.5 out of 5 stars for lacking any wow factor. Comfort earned the same 4.5 score, with our tester saying the bag was a little less comfortable than other diaper bag backpacks with padded straps. When shortened, parts of the straps dangled pretty far, which is annoying." Our tester noted that the fabric is not breathable, but it didn’t bother her (something to keep in mind for parents and caregivers who run hot) and earned another 4.5-star rating for comfort. "Everything feels centered and aligned," our tester said, giving the bag’s comfort a perfect score. It feels as delightful as when I first got one in 2012. It’s fast, capable, and reliable.

The Bag Nation Diaper Bag Backpack prioritizes convenience with a large compartment at its center and several internal and external pockets (14 to be exact) for diapers, wipes, and other baby essentials. We also appreciate the machine-washable diaper pad and clear wipe pouch for parents and caregivers who don’t want to carry a large wipe package. The mesh back and easy-to-adjust padded straps provided an even weight distribution for our tester, who wore the fully loaded diaper bag backpack on a quick walk. The "well-thought pocket placements" for diapers, bottles, wipes, and other items (like the included large changing mat and toiletry bag) were a big hit and earned the diaper backpack 4.8 stars out of 5. The padding on the shoulder straps provided a comfortable wearing experience and distributed weight evenly.

All items easily fit into the backpack’s additional pockets on the exterior and several internal compartments (4.5 out of 5 stars for capacity). This diaper bag backpack has several useful compartments for grown-ups’ goodies, as well as their kids’.

Testing Notes: "Because of the various pockets and separate compartments, this backpack was able to fit a lot without getting too heavy or disorganized. "There are five different sections that can be zipped and unzipped to separate different compartments of the backpack," our tester said.
