I am loving this new bag from R. Riveter. The Corbin Backpack has been long awaited and many are so excited to add this new bag to their collection. I was able to test drive the backpack on a recent trip. Flying with a child in tow helped me really see what this bag could do!
When I travel with my 4 year old daughter I need to carry with me my personal items like planner, laptop, books, headphones, and wallet but I also need snacks for both of us and a few things to keep her busy. My daughter has a small backpack that she will carry on the plane with her that she is allowed to fill with toys that she wants to bring along for the trip. I make sure to carry some new to her items and anything else that might be more practical for her to keep busy. I also carry the iPad and headphones (we love these for kids) for movies during the flight. I will take her smaller water bottle which fits in her backpack and then get water at the airport for myself instead of carrying two large water bottles.
The large inside pocket held a TON of stuff and didn’t feel so large that I lost items at the bottom. There was also one extra zipper pocket inside that I could put items for safe keeping. The pockets on the front were convenient for holding my phone, ID, earbuds, and chapstick plus there was one additional zipper pocket on under the outside flap that had plenty of room.
Anytime I’m out with a child I love having the option to wear a backpack versus a shoulder bag. Even more so when flying because I can always use an extra hand while navigating through the security check point and boarding the plane. Wearing a backpack leaves my hands free for whatever I need to carry or grab quickly. This backpack felt super comfortable on. The large pocket in the back which normally holds your straps when not in use was where I stored the iPad. It was against my back when I wore the bag but it was never uncomfortable. The straps were very easy to adjust.
If I wanted to quickly put the bag over my shoulder I could do so with either the backpack straps or the messenger bag strap which I kept on at all times. It was helpful to just grab the bag and throw it over my shoulder if needed. While I wasn’t traveling, but just going around town, I would often use the bag as a messenger. This allowed me easy access to the inside of the bag without taking it off. While I loved the messenger option as well if the bag was heavy a padded strap or optionol pad would have been nice.
Overall this bag is fashionable and functions and is manufactured by a company the supports military spouses and provides them with flexible, mobile income! I’d say that’s a win and something I can get on board with!
