What’s your take- the new transit duffel 25L as a diaper bag?
I have been on the hunt for a bag to hold all newborn baby essentials (diapers, clothes, bottles, accessories) since my boy is born and here comes the new updated 25L transit duffel from EG.
Right away I knew this is the perfect size as a duffel, and I just tested the bag in person and really liked some of the features:
- luggage pass through is so clutch (we will take the baby for traveling so it’s a must have to lighten the load)
- the bag has great structure and holds its shape and sits straight up on flat surface, the main compartment opens up wide for easy access to bottles and diapers
- Handles feel premium and very well balanced (pretty much the same great handle carry system on CTB26 as well); the side cut outs underneath the side zip locks are such nice little touch!
This almost feels like the perfect bag but the reasons I haven’t pulled the trigger yet…
- the overall shape feels a bit too “boxy”, I feel like I’m carrying a rectangular shaped box around (I know this can be more of a personal aesthetic preference)
- no dedicated laptop compartment (I know a smaller 14” laptop can fit on the side pocket, but the fit is not as nice as having dedicated laptop sleeves compared to backpacks)
Just curious what are your thoughts and if you have any better recommendations for baby gears?
Thanks guys!
