Overview

Description

Petunia Picklebottom’s Boxy Backpack is a bag with a following. This bestselling diaper bag comes in the company’s exclusive prints, with a stylish design and lots of useful features. It’s made from a heavy-duty, cotton canvas with a glazed coating on the outside and a water-resistant lining inside, so both are easy to wipe clean.

The built-in changing pad unzips from an exterior pocket—the thickly cushioned pad also unzips completely so you can use it detached from the bag in smaller spaces or toss it in the wash.

There are pockets inside and out to fit bottles, your phone, diapers and more, including one interior zip pocket. The zippered main compartment is quite roomy; there’s plenty of space for all your changing necessities, even for longer hauls like a cross-country flight.

The top flap has a magnetic closure that’s easy to secure with one hand—there’s no fussing with buckles, no Velcro to catch on your clothes.

Finally, you can carry this bag five ways: as a backpack, a shoulder bag, a cross-body bag, clipped onto the stroller (straps included) or by the grab handle on top.

For this bag’s many devotees, the quality, versatility, and style are worth the price tag.

Used the bag about 5 times .The bag has continued to keep peeling. Considering the price I was expecting this bag to last!! If the leatherette peeling wasnt a problem I would recommend.

This bag is wonderful! I have five kids and was gifted this bag for my 5th. It is so cute but also so functional. It’s incredibly easy to open, zippers slide smooth. I can put things in and take things out of the bag with my eyes closed. It is big enough to carry the essentials but not so big that you lose what you put in it. The straps are soft and well made. The magnetic flap is a great feature. I never have to actually button my bag closed which makes opening it so easy. Last of all, you

I love the look of this bag however I used the bag for about a month before the diaper changing pad’s Velcro ripped off. Additionally, the zipper on the front often gets caught making it difficult to open the diaper changing pad one handed while holding my baby.

I had my eye on this bag for a while and finally splurged and got it. I really love the idea of this bag, but it has some major flaws. The biggest flaw is the fold out changing pad. What a great idea!!!!!!! But the material they used is not water repellent. Something where you could easily wipe away a oopsie. This pad absorbs moisture. It would be such a game changer if it was a water repellent material like some of their other changing mats. 2. The pockets inside should be more towards the top

I LOVE this bag, I'm heartbroken that it is torn up and peeling, I've had it about 15 months, and it looks trashed. Wish I had gone with a different material for this bag.

I'm usually a printed bag person, but I also like to have variety in my collection. This Boxy cedar is perfect for the season and year round! I love the pebbled leather look and feel of the bag.

We're still in the diapering stage and so the removable changing pad is one of our favorite features, along with the cute accessory pouch.

I always recommend the Boxy as a new mom or mom with multiples.

I bought this for my sister when she was pregnant. I didn't know the brand or anything just picked one that was pretty. Let me tell you, best decision! The boxy backpack is so convenient and functional. The fold out diaper pad is amazing. It has so much space for everything. And it looks good!!

This bag!! I love it. So pretty and I love how spacious it is. Easy for me to organize everything. Plus the built in changing pad is the best when needing a quick clean spot to change my little one!
