You might have recognised this design in South Africa, but let's tell you about the qualities that makes our diaper bags unique and of better quality.
The design | Both bags were designed by the founder, Ree Geldenhuys - mother of twin girls and a younger boy (all under 18 months at that stage). She customised the recognised design to fit the modern-day parent who needs a hands-free baby bag solution.
It took two years to finalise and produce the unique design of our The Sidekick diaper bag. This included (a) enlarging the bottle pockets, as we saw that most moms in South Africa use wide-neck bottles, (b) adding more pockets, along with a dedicated pocket for your phone situated securely against your back, (c) ensuring the material is also waterproof and of a durable material.
The quality | When comparing quality it becomes clear that the following sets our bags apart: (a) The Insulated Foil Pockets is lined with a thick, solid foil, where most other bags use thinner, loose foil that tears (b) The pockets are also larger to fit wide-neck bottles (c) The Original Bag has 12 pockets, all sewn very securely to ensure it will not tear at the bottom, causing you belongings to fall though pockets.
Material and fittings | We use a durable Waterproof Oxford Canvas with fittings made from metal, not plastic. The zips, clips and other hooks are very strong. The stroller clips can take up to 7kg!
