Tiba + Marl are the masters of combining the practical needs of a changing bag and adding modern style and premium touches every parent loves. They are a favourite here at Natural Baby Shower, but what did one of our parent testers make of the Tiba + Marl Elwood Backpack changing bag.
Parent Tester - Paris Lily
I was kindly gifted the Tiba and Marl Elwood Backpack to review for Natural Baby Shower. I am a first time mum to my 10 week old baby boy.
The main part to the backpack has two large elasticated pockets and one large division at the back. I find it really easy to slot nappies, cream, wipes etc into the different areas which saves searching through the whole bag. Although this section isn’t as wide as I’d thought it would be the additional pockets make up for this with more than enough space.
It’s comfortable to wear as it has a padded lower back panel and adjustable thick straps - my husband wears the backpack too and it suits/fits us both perfectly! The perfect unisex style.
What I also love which is a big added bonus is the backpack comes in a large dust bag which I now use to store baby toys when they aren’t being used.
The bag also has large front pockets which are great extra touches. They are both super spacious. One contains a really handy insulated bottle holder which is a lifesaver when on the move and one additional smaller section for bits and bobs. There is also another big pocket on the front which is good for easy access to those baby essentials.
The Elwood also comes with a matching changing mat, how brilliant! The changing mat is padded and a good size for baby/little ones. It’s easy to fold up, has a Velcro tab to fasten and is wipeable.
But that’s not all. There is also an added clutch/cross body bag included. I love the extra clutch/cross body bag, it’s so handy to keep my essentials in when heading out and having easy access to them (you can wear it on your front) without needing to go into the main backpack. There’s enough room for phone, keys, hand sanitiser etc so it’s a perfect size for on the go!
I think this set would make a brilliant gift for any new parents or parents to be, it comes in a variety of different colours and prints to choose from too. I would highly recommend to invest in a quality backpack set like Tiba and Marl and I’m sure I will be using it for years to come! I love that the style means both me and my husband can wear it too.
