LE backpack, do you think it's too big?

[CBB]

We'll be going to WDW early June with our DD who will be almost 27mo then. I have a skip hop diaper bag but I'm thinking a backpack would be much easier. What do guys think of the Lands End backpack? It's 12x18x7. We'll need to carry a bunch of stuff, like digital camera, video camera, clothes, diapers, snacks, water, sun block. Any other suggestions for a backpack?

Thanks!

I am not sure which model I have, it is about 3yrs old, and it is a LE diaper backpack. We have used it our last 3 trips to WDW and it fits everything! We have 3kids(only one left in diapers) but I can easily fit our digital camera, our digital cam corder, sippy, changing pad, sunblock, and the pouch with bandaids, purel, etc. and wipes and still have room to spare. Ours has held up well over the years. We take it so our hands are free to help the kids get on rides, etc. I can't imagine taking a regular diaperbag. One tip: at bag check, go ahead and have everything upzipped...it goes much quicker!

I was actually looking at this online for our impending arrival and thinking it would be great for travelling. I would love to hear other reviews.

I had my backpack style diaper bag. It worked out okay but we had it and my dad's backpack strung on back of stroller and whenever dd wasn't in the stroller it wanted to fall over so we had to move one to the seat it was crazy.


It works out best though because while in line you can have the weight supported evenly. I don't think that is too big but I always carried backpacks when I was younger(teenager) and went with my dad.

We have the Land's End backpack and used it for every Disney trip so far. I like it even more now that we are out of diapers because besides all the essentials like sunscreen and cameras and stuff, you can fit pb&j sandwiches for the picky eater and a change of clothes in a zip lock bag in case of accidents. I also like that there is a front pocket for personal stuff so you can find it easily. I always take it on the rides because I do leave my wallet and camera in there. I have had it for almost seven years and used it as a diaper bag for the first 4 years and it has worn very well. Now it's our "trip bag."

LE also made (I don't know if they still do) a smaller backpack that I use as well. I guess it depends on how much stuff I want to bring.
