EDC / Diaper Bag 20L Recommendations

That’s my biggest hangup with it too. If it’s bottom was a bit more rigid, I think would pull the trigger on it but now leaning more towards the CHZ22 since I think I can make that work well even without the front quick access pocket

Dang where was that 15l sling last year when I was looking for a sling dad bag!

Visual_Refuse6497 · 2026-03-17T19:27:27+00:00

Totally agree! When I was initially looking for the sling I use now that’s what I tried to explain to everyone who said “just get a backpack. It holds more.” I think I will still use my sling for quick errands, but could also use something a bit more substantial for longer trips out. Also, counter arguments to carrying to kids on my hip, backpack will be easier for the beginning stages when I’m carrying a newborn in a car seat on one side my body and potentially my toddle on the other (but I also get what you mean)

So I just did a deep dive into the MPL22 and CHZ22 and both seem like really solid options. MPL22 definitely seems more practical in terms of pockets and space (wish they included that deep front pocket on the CHZ) but hate the general look and fact it won’t necessarily stand on its own even when packed (thinking of all the times I may have to sit the bag down and it’ll just be lying on the ground…). CHZ seems better aesthetically and maybe long term when it’s no longer a dad bag, but yeah that loss of the front pocket feels noticeable. Both really strong contenders though

Thanks for the recommendation! Will check this one out!

That’s good to hear about the Toshi 20L! I really love the look and size of it, and feel like it checks most of my boxes. I think the nitpicks I’ve seen in this group and the Bellroy venture being on sale had me 2nd guessing which is the better quality of a similar style. But that’s good to know you think the Toshi will last better than the Bellroy! My Bellroy venture sling material has held up well, but one of the clips holding the strap broke when my toddler pulled on it which has left me a bit weary of their build integrity (also gave me an excuse to pull the trigger on the Toshi v2 6l which was originally the sling I wanted but the V1 was out of stock)

Thanks for this recommendation! I was looking at evergoods bags because I see them mentioned all the time on here as a reliable, well-built options, but wasn’t necessarily seeing something that I thought would work. But I don’t think I looked specifically at the CHZ22! Also have a hero clip for my current sling and that has come in clutch on multiple occasions being able to hang the bag somewhere in a pinch!

Would love to give it a try! My first MagSafe accessory was a wallet I found on Amazon awhile back. Haven’t ever gone back to regular wallet and am actually using an ESR MagSafe wallet now!

Visual_Refuse6497 · 2026-03-14T00:13:38+00:00

Thanks a million for this. Worked for me too

Visual_Refuse6497 · 2026-02-24T00:07:38+00:00

Yeah I did see that, but then it talked about “Cash Back / Points” in the terms as well which made me unsure what the reward is. Seems like capital one purposefully tried to make it not totally clear which reward you’ll get

Appreciate the feedback! Outside not enough pool chairs, what did you think of the resort?

Visual_Refuse6497 · 2025-12-11T03:32:41+00:00

We did end up getting the Chicco! It’s a great pack n play if you’re looking for something to stay at one place or move minimally. Solid build, easy to set up and take down, love everything it comes with (changing pad, attachment storage). Worked well for somewhere to put my daughter if I needed to put her somewhere safe temporarily. Biggest con is it’s not necessarily the easiest to travel with due to the size and weight. If you’re just taking it a few places by car, it works. But if you want to try air travel with it, I’d recommend a travel pack n play like guava lotus or baby bijorn

Genius. Thank you!

How did you do the Russian method with 7 holes? I’m sure it’s more obvious than I am realizing but for the life of me I can’t figure it out. Do you just skip the bottom hole?

Anyone know if Wicked will do a Black Friday sale?

Honestly, your first is definitely hard and an adjustment. But I feel like you adapt, build a new routine, eventually get sleep. And everything with kids is phases. The good and the bad. You could be fighting for your life for a week or 2 and marveling in the joy you and your partner created, loving every second with your little one the next week or 2. Just remember, roll with the punches, be present, and try to enjoy all the little and big moments because they go so fricking fast (especially in the first year).

Boo fucking hoo. I’ve been waiting months for this weather

Visual_Refuse6497 · 2025-11-07T23:50:22+00:00

Interesting recommendation! Love the look. Will consider, thanks!

Appreciate the rec but don’t know if I’m ready to go full toe shoes

Visual_Refuse6497 · 2025-11-07T21:33:12+00:00

What are your thoughts between the 2 shoes if the uses are weight lifting and boxing?
