I’m officially on the **** pack as a purse train. I thought it was so dumb but it’s soooo practical. I have a toddler and having all my valuables on me and easily accessible is so much easier than having to root through the diaper bag or my giant purse for my wallet or phone or lug the diaper bag/giant purse around the playground. I can also easily wear the sidekick and the diaper bag (backpack) at the same time, and wear it around my waist if I’m also wearing my kid.
I have the lulu belt bag but I wanted something a little dressier and slightly bigger and the sidekick is perfect. I can fit my phone, a small wallet, keys, chapstick, small hand cream, sunglasses (not in the case) AND I can fit a rolled up tote bag in the back zipper pocket in case I need more carrying capacity while I’m out. I did think the strap would be a little wider and would love to see a wider fabric strap option for extra comfort. I would totally order one and change out the straps as needed. The current strap is decently comfortable though and I love that the extender is free.
