Lassig Vintage Backpack REVIEW

Lassig - meaning 'casual' in German.
Lassig are a brand that many of you will associate with children. They have a wide array of nappy bags, kids bags and other children's items.
Before I had tried Lassig I had heard many great things about them as they were just a bag that kept giving and would really fit everything you could possibly need for a Mummy.

I was kindly sent out a Lassig Vintage Backpack in Ethno Sand (RRP $159.95), that was just released earlier this year.
The backpack is designed for the parent to use and pack all those necessity items into for your child.
As Mum's it's a tiring job carting around a heavy handbag or nappy bag on your shoulder so why not give yourself something else to take over for a little while and be completely stylish at that.

The Lassig Vintage Backpack is 15 x 29 x 40cm made of 100% Polyester.
A backpack with many little compartments to keep you well organised.
Located at the front of the backpack you have a smaller compartment in which has two slip straps for pens, a mobile phone holder, a lobster clip and room to pop those items that need to be easily accessed frequently.

A larger compartment takes the main feature with having an included water repellent wet zip pouch at the back, a removable clip in and out two pouch pockets, netted holders on both sides and two larger pockets that could hold nappies or such items.
Located at the back of the bag you will find a hidden zip pocket. You will also find two holders on each side of the outside of the bag.
Inclusive of the bag you will get some extra accessories for the bag:

A large insulated removable bottle holder

This bottle holder would have to be the biggest I have seen yet to come with any nappy bag, it's very generous in sizing. A lobster clip at the back that allows you to clip this into the backpack or elsewhere so you don't loose it.

Stroller hooks

These are super duper handy. I was always purchasing pram hooks to go onto our pram as it made it much more easier to not carry around a nappy bag and push a pram or take up all the bag room space underneath. Simply wrap the velcro straps around the pram handlebar and clip your backpack onto the hooks from above the straps.

Water repellent changing mat

My first change mat that hasn't had velcro on the part where you lay the child on and get scratches or their hair stuck too so this mat was a huge tick on the review for me.
The change mat is thinner and longer in size in comparison to others I have used before and folds down into a small size with a wrap clip on the side. Continuing on with the pattern they have used for the actual backpack this change mat is in the ethno sand print as well.

Zip pouch

It's not a usual thing that you get this little extra so this added a little something special. A cute stylish matching zip pouch to pop possibly the dummies or medicines, creams into so they aren't going to need a big rummage around the backpack for.

Using this bag was a unique way to prepare for a day out with Niah. I liked having something different. The pattern on this backpack is just stunning - a real bohemian aztec like theme going on there.

I did find the larger compartment is a little too squishy once you have placed all your nappies, wipes, change of clothes, bottles etc into this part of the backpack so I think you really need to just have your child's belongings solely in here as there isn't much room left after you back the necessities in their for your own personal belongings to go in. Using this backpack was a great idea for when your child may go to daycare as it fit everything for your child perfectly in there, on number of occasions Niah was sent to daycare with this backpack and received lots of compliments on how flash her bag was.

A very versatile unsex colouring and pattern of sand, orange, black, gold and purple which enables Daddy's to be able to take the backpack out as well when they have the cherub with them.

Apologies for all the photos in this post but this pattern is just simply gorgeous and I can't get enough of it. The photos don't do this backpack enough justice, it's absolutely stunning in person.

Overall, I do quite like this bag as it's just an organised piece that is really cute. It would look super cute if it came in kids bags so they can wear it into daycare, I did try to get Niah to put this one on but unfortunately it's a little big for her to pop on right now haha.

In terms of pricing (RRP $159.95) I wouldn't actually pay this much for a backpack as it's a little steep but for the style and pattern of it that really makes for a cute bag, I would be second thinking it.
Included in with the cost you are getting several accessories which do add up should you buy everything separately but Lassig are looking out for the environment and yourself by making their products free from chemicals such as PVC, nickle, phosphates etc.
