Travel Product Spotlight: Anchored East Diaper Backpack, A Handy Tote for Traveling Families

As a new mom who wanted to continue traveling with my baby, it was important for me to find a carryall bag that could serve as a diaper bag, a camera case, wallet keeper, and city pack. On our recent trip to Portugal, I put my newest travel product to the test. Today, I’m excited to showcase the Anchored East Diaper Backpack, a multi-purpose backpack for families on the go!

Backpacks for the Win
Very early on into mom life, I realized that a big, one-shoulder diaper bag was useful but not travel-friendly. So, I went on the hunt for a backpack that could meet my Travel Mom needs, which is how I discovered the Anchored East Diaper Backpack. Anchored East came to be when founder Emily Parker, a mother of two from Maine, realized that moms can get more out of their fully-loaded lives with the assistance from a backpack. To have a backpack as a diaper bag (and an everything-else bag) allows moms to be prepared and have two hands to handle whatever the day brings.

While I was walking around Lisbon and the Algarve coast on our holiday, I was thankful for a backpack that could handle our adventures! Without a doubt, backpacks make the best bags to hold your family’s gear while traveling.

Product Details
The Anchored East Diaper Backpack has pockets galore, helping to keep things organized. There is even a zipper compartment on the backside of the bag – a great place to hide your wallet, phone or passport.

Also, this backpack can hold a lot of stuff. With an extended opening, you can really pack things in there! Seriously, it’s kind of like a Mary Poppins bag. Unfortunately, the downside to the bag’s design is that it’s nearly impossible to open or close the zippers with one hand, which is probably my biggest complaint. Thankfully, the handle straps allow me to grab and go until I have a chance to zip up my pack.

In addition to the handle straps, another beneficial feature of the Anchored East Diaper Backpack are the two extra straps that can buckle on to a stroller. I think this detail really sets it apart from a normal backpack, because you can free your back and body from the weight of whatever you’re lugging around for the day.

A Bag Dads Can Be Proud Of
Don’t worry, moms… you can share the load. The Anchored East Diaper Backpack is a great fit for dads, too! It’s sleek and sporty design looks good on both parents, so dads can feel cool and confident when wearing it.

And when you can get dad to push the stroller and carry the backpack, you have yourself a little dance party in the streets!

An Affordable Option
At just $49.99, this multi-purposed bag is a good deal. If you want your own or know a mom-to-be who loves to travel like me, head on over to Amazon to order your Anchored East Diaper Backpack today!

NOW IT’S YOUR TURN TO SHARE…

Hello, hello! Isn’t this such a lovely backpack? Would you or your man sport this bag around? Can other moms attest to the advantages of using a backpack as a diaper bag instead of a one-shoulder bag?

💫 2020 - not about travel; all about family. 💫

For me, this year was all about #motherhood - the For me, this year was all about #motherhood - the beauty of growing a child in the womb and then nurturing a precious newborn around the clock; the wild roller coaster of shepherding a toddler, whose contagious joy and  stubborn defiance make each day a challenge and a gift; the mundane tasks that help make a home feel warm and welcoming; and a bunch of other things.

We are saying thanks for all things in life this week. It’s so easy to get stuck on either the big picture or the tiny details, but I believe it’s important to take it all in - like I did on this ridge overlooking #Manang Village last year while trekking the #AnnapurnaCircuit in #Nepal. 

Creating a culture of gratitude takes intentionality and discipline... and it’s especially not easy when babies and toddlers demand so much of you at all hours of the day and night. Yet, here we are at the start of the holiday season, and I’m choosing to be grateful for the whole lot. 

What are you thankful for this year?
Hooray, it’s the weekend! 🥳 I don’t have a Hooray, it’s the weekend! 🥳

I don’t have any big plans today (#newbornlife), but I’m recalling the joy of “Heidi Hailey” in the Himalayas last November. ☺️ Shout out to @thatdutchieguy for bringing his Polaroid camera on our #CreateConnectNepal journey... what a fun way to capture special moments, - like my favorite stretch of the #AnnapurnaCircuit in the #Manang District ❣️

What are you up to this weekend?
As I sit here nursing an 8-week old babe, it’s j As I sit here nursing an 8-week old babe, it’s just wild to me that on this date exactly one year ago, I was walking among giants and completed the most difficult hike of my life. 

On November 11, 2019, the #CreateConnectNepal team and I went up and over the Thorong La Pass. At 17,769 feet (5416m), this is the pinnacle of the Annapurna Circuit and one of the highest mountain passes in the world. The day began in the dark with a grueling 4+ hour ascent through snow-kissed trails and then required a fierce descent down a bone dry valley. It demanded everything of me. 

Yet, that day up and over Thorong La was just one part of my epic adventure in #Nepal last November. I am eternally grateful for that experience and cherish those memories dearly. I also miss those people a lot. ❣️
