  • Got this for my husband to use as a diaper bag and he loves it. It stores super flat when it isn’t needed which is something probably only I love about it. Feb 06, 2024

  • I only bought this bc I think it’s cute. I do use it occasionally as a light travel bag. I got rid of the seat pad because it took up the limited space & I never used it. The straps are uncomfortable. Oct 09, 2023

  • There is so much room to serve as a diaper bag and I love that the zipper fully opens, making it easy to access everything. Though, I did not realize that Kanken’s look dirty very quickly. Oct 06, 2023

  • My daughter loves this backpack. however, I think the water bottle pocket is too small in my opinion. Sep 04, 2023

  • Great backpacks for kids to travel with. Perfect to put toys, snacks, and games in for airplane or car rides. Have had mine for 10 years and it has held up perfectly. Jul 27, 2023

  • Not loving this so much. I thought I'd suit the boxy look but I don't and the bag isn't as sturdy as I'd like it to be therefore it doesn't really keep it's shape if you place heavy items. Mar 12, 2023

  • Love it!!!!!!! It looks small but has a lot of space Jul 01, 2022

  • Great for travel, especially as a personal item on flights. Holds a lot and love that it zips almost all the way down. Jun 24, 2022

  • I love this backpack. It looks small but it fits SO much without so much strain on the back. Got me through traveling throughout Japan. Handles are also super helpful. Apr 12, 2022

  • Have always loved a good kånken. It holds everything you need but is compact Mar 28, 2022

  • I love the look of this backpack. But it’s not the most comfortable to use and not many pockets are available. Feb 15, 2022

  • Just an average backpack with zero padding. The straps are so narrow you'll definitely get sore if there's any significant weight in there. At least the design is cute. Aug 16, 2021

    I love this backpack's simple design. I have the mini version as well which I can't wait for my baby to use herself when she's a bit older! Jan 11, 2020

  • These bags are so versatile and timeless. You can have them for a decade and they won't fray. Well made and worth every penny. Can be used as a diaper bag, school bag, laptop bag, bag for hiking, etc. Jan 05, 2020

  • I really love this bag pack. It is super light weight and roomy. The only downer is that after a few washes the color became faded. Please do not put in a washing machine! Sep 16, 2019

    used as diaper bag for 2 years - held up great. the only reason I stopped is bc the straps are so uncomfortable and I need a bigger front and side pocket but all in all so great! Jul 11, 2019

  • I love this brand, this is a very sturdy little backpack. It's great for quick trips. Feb 06, 2019

    I used this as our primary diaper bag and it was super versatile and well-made. It also doesn't scream "diaper bag" and my husband wasn't embarrassed to carry it either. Comes in a ton of colors! Jul 23, 2018
