As other fellow mums probably know this very well: you cannot leave the house with the children without STUFF. The stuff have been reduced since they are 4 and 6 but we still carry quite a lot of things when we’re out and about. They are not “just in case items”, mind you. We need these things whenever we’re out. Water bottles, some changing clothes, snacks (seriously? 5 minutes into the walk: Mummy, I’m hungry!) wallet, phone, tissues, wipes just to mention the standard ones.
For all these, the best to have a backpack, so my arms are free. Backpacks are also more comfortable too. Especially this new one I have received from Bagmaya. The model is called Palawan.

- It’s comfortable to wear, with adjustable straps
- Perfect size, takes everything I normally need whilst not looking stuffed.
- It has a little secret pocket for valuables too, it’s practical.
- It’s waterproof.

That looks like the perfect bag for all your summer essentials. I need a bum bag for when I am cycling, so will head over for a look
I love a backpack as I suffer from lower back pain – and always stuff far too much in my handbags! These look really smart and great that they are eco-friendly without looking drab.
This looks like a great bag for when out and about and need a bit more than I usually carry in my handbag. I love the look of this backback x
This looks like a good bag for being out and about and a backpack is super practical for carrying around. I need a lot of stuff just for me so carrying for kids as well must produce a lot x
This backpack looks absolutely lovely – I love that it is lightweight and looks so stylish as well as being extremely practical too!
The bag looks so beautiful and organic, love that it is mostly handmade as well. Being small built I love bags such as this which will fit my body frame perfectly
This looks like a really nice bag for sure. Not too big and not to small perfect for a day out to carry all you need x
You can’t beat a goof backpack and this one looks fab! The fact it’s lightweight is so important when you have little ones because I take SO MUCH with me.
Seems both eco-friendly and practical; really cool!
Looks like a lovely bag that would be a perfect size for a day trip out.
