Navy. I love navy. I love the Pink Lining Navy Bows range. Specifically I love the Cream Bows on Navy Rucksack.
Now of course we all know that Pink Lining are synonymous with covetable changing bags however this no changing bag! Nope my gorgeous new rucksack is part of the “On the Go” range designed for women and families on the go, which means it belongs to ME not the kids!
Ok so that doesn’t mean I don’t use it in place of a changing bag – at 17 months Amy doesn’t need a changing bag per se but she does still need plenty of stuff carrying about – nappies, wipes, a change of clothes, drink, snacks, toys. . . you know the score. Â So my Pink Lining rucksack is absolutely my “go to” bag on day out, it’s plenty big enough to stick all the things I need for the kids in plus some bits for me – purse, camera etc
However I also like to use it when I’m out and about on my own – for example on my recent trip to London it was ideal for a change of clothes, my DSLR camera, some snacks, a book and such like (the tech space was looking decidedly empty and I do feel the need to fill it with a shiny new iPad if anyone fancies treating me?! haha).
I’ve been using my bag for a couple of months now – out on an adventure with the children or on my own and I really can’t fault it.
What I love about it:
* Hands free! My bag sits comfortably on my back allowing me to forget about it while I have my hands free to deal with three little ones!
* It’s navy
* It’s so pretty
* The size is great – not big and bulky but big enough to get loads in
* The straps are padded and comfortable, even fully loaded it hasn’t ever felt uncomfortable
* There’s a padded space in the back for your laptop / tablet etc
* The front zip pocket is ideal for sticking your mobile in and any other bits you need to keep accessible whilst you’re out and about
* The straps are adjustable
* The coating means it’s water resistant so can cope with getting caught in a bit of a shower
* Even after several months of use it still looks like new
What I’m not so keen on:
Nothing – I flipping love it, even Dave doesn’t mind carrying it for me at times!
Ah this rucksack is just so you! Just perfect for you.
I do love it 😀
O.M.G. I love it!! I've been carrying around a battered old Tesco rucksack which has seen better days and I've been eyeing up posh rucksacks for a while…think I might have to speak nicely to my husband for my birthday 😉
Definitely do! It's gorgeous x
I am so envious, we have progressed on to rucksacks that we use as changing bags but this looks so much nicer. Love the print x
Oh i love this , i adore Pink Lining bags i have two of the changing bags and now my toddler is almost two i think i will be moving from a changing bag to a rucksack soon. I love the colour and print we have the purple bow changing bag x
Love this I use my wanderlust so much and get so many comments on it too such a fab brand
I love the navy bows, very you! It sounds really practical too, great for on the go!
Makes me laugh that I'm now so "known" for my love of navy 😉 x
We're big fans of rucksacks! My mummy only had a changing bag with me for 8 weeks then ditched it for a rucksack!
That does look lovely and practical, and I love that it's for you, not the kids!
I adore pink lining bags, I'd love one for myself!! #triedtested
Simply gorgeous! We use rucksacks too (nothing as pretty though!).
Okay I am super jealous now, I wanted the Owl rucksack but now I think I really like this one, would be perfect for babywearing!
#triedtested
Yes it's ideal. Shoulder bags and baby wearing really don't go do they x
I'm a huge pink lining fan and this one is lovely! The navy is gorgeous without being too girly. Great it goes on your back as well out the way, Us mummies need both hands haha xx #triedandtested
Love love love it! Flo is 18 months and I don’t always need a change bag now. There's definitely a gap in the market for that in between stage of no change bag but not quite hand bag.
I love the idea of a rucksack style changing bag rather than the over the shoulder ones…definitely more Dad friendly too!
Love the design, it looks really well thought out #triedandtested
It's lovely, I love pink lining bags – they are just super cute and practical too.
#Tried/Tested
I've got this one in cream and love it for days out as it carries so much, my favourite thing is the cool bag at the front. I find it a little too large as a day to day bag, but that just gives me an excuse to have 2! #triedtested
This is deceptively small. You can fit so much in there. It's like a Mary Poppins bag, what a great design!
Oh that's gorgeous – I love pink lining #TriedTested
LOVE the look of this! I had a pink lining changing bag but M is now 2 so no need for one anymore – this looks perfect for the next stage (and also for me to use too!) #TriedTested
It looks great, and has plenty of storage.
Gorgeous, I love pink lining, I have a changing bag from them and still looks great 2.5 years on x
This looks fab, I have been looking for a rucksack to do double duty as a bag for me and baby, saw some prints i liked in Cath Kidston but these look more practical. Thanks for sharing!
Pink lining do rucksacks!! Be still my beating heart!
Love Pink Lining bags and didn't realise they do rucksacks – might have to get one of these when I stop needing the changing bag. Love this one – looks great 🙂
This is exactly what I need for Silverstone! looks lovely too #TriedTested
love the colour of the bag and the padded back pocket is a brilliant feature!
This bag looks fab hon, off to check out their site now xx
I've never heard of this company before but oh my! I absolutely love this rucksack!!! I love the pink colour on the inside as well!
Laura x x x
Now this is a pink lining bag I could get on board with- much more my style than the usual bags, Love it! x
I love pink lining bags, and this looks amazing! I like the idea of a rucksack now that I am running around after Boo the satchel type bags can sometimes get in the way!
Oh I love it and it looks great with your red coat 🙂
That does look good. My rucksack is so boring in comparison #TriedTested
That is just gorgeous! So pretty! Changing bags were never this nice when my girls were younger x
I really like how much space this bag gives you, and that it's not just a changing bag, but…don't shoot me…I really don't like any of the Pink Lining prints, they're just not my style!
Oh how lovely. I always wished I had had one of their changing bags – must put this on my list
What a fab rucksack, I used to love my Pink Lining changing bags when O was a baby, and I do really like the pink lining xx
I love rucksacks, I love the bows on your own its a lovely pattern. I could do with a new one now after my daughter has decided to permanently 'borrow' mine! #TriedTested
We LOVE Pink Lining! I have just had a Dinosaur wheelie case and it's fab. Love your rucksack x #TriedTasted
looks great, i am a big fan of rucksacks actually
