This is the best review I've seen of the Dakota medium backpack! Thank you very much for the informative review, you explain and present things very well! 😍
I have this bag…I didn’t realize how many pockets there were. I watched this video specifically to figure out what some of the compartments were for. Was not aware of the two side loops or the inside front of bag pocket. I put my glasses in the back zipper compartment. Great video! Thanks!
This is my first year teaching and I am just about to purchase a dagne dover backpack. I just don't want to wheel in a teacher cart on a daily basis to school. This bag seems big enough to fit everything I need.
I have this bag in the eclipse. Its absolute LOVE! It's my daily bag. I currently use my large Dakota as my breast pump bag and have used it as a diaper bag. It's crazy comfortable no matter how much you pack lol. The Indi is still on my wishlist lol.
@@GatorMOM Thank you for reviewing!❤ I'm also between a Micah or a small Dakota lol. I love backpacks but I kind of like the Micah as well 😅 I want everything Dagne 😅🤣
Hi! Curious - How are you finding the Dakota as a diaper bag? I can't decide between that and the Indi...the Indi looks quite large though...I've just been thinking about this for months!! Help! Haha
@@angelamak6411 Lol I love it!! Its super comfy if you over pack. What I did was put my diapers changing essentials in the large pocket on the back of the Dakota. And inside I put all my other stuff like a mini med kit, change of clothes, snacks, toys, etc. I still had some room left at the top. I'm 5'5 175 lbs, i don't feel like it's too big. I personally don't own an Indi but i really want one lol. I like that it just has a huge opening at the top, i don't remember seeing GatorMom do a review on it as a diaper bag or on the body, i could be wrong though. My favorite mommy youtubers that I've seen post Dagne Dover videos are these lovely ladies, btw they are in no particular order, GatorMom, perpetualmommy, PoppinsApproved, HelloHappy, and i believe that's it. PoppinsApproved had a great video where she compares the Medium and Large Dakota and the Indi and i believe she did on the body as well. I also have a medium Dakota if you don't want anything too big and I can fit my babies stuff in there as well. I have 2 girls still in diapers if that helps. Lol. I personally feel you can't go wrong with anything Dagne Dover, just really comes down to the style you like. Dakota is more of a traditional backpack and the indi is like a mix of the Dakota and their Landon carryall. But the plus on the indi is it comes with all your change pad and a few extras like stroller clips and water bottle holder, 2 leashes. Let me know if you have any other question though!
Amazing review, seriously impressed-nicely done. I’m curious I can’t find reviews of colors. I’m looking into getting my first Dagne Dover. I feel like I should start practical and neutral with the onyx, heather, gray, or olive but I want a bag that will not show wear and tear which color would you recommend?
I was wondering if this heather gray material creases, makes indentations, and “piles” like the regular normal fabric that they have for all of other colors (except the pollen air)?
I’ve never heard of this bag, but it’s now on my list! It looks so light weight, I think it’d be great for Disney trips. Also, where did you get your Apple watch band? Love it, and I need an upgrade. Thanks!😊
Yes to both! Now comfort wise i like the JuJuBe be zealous the best and think that would would compare closer to this one...but compared to be packed this one is more comfortable. The material is just awesome!
GatorMOM thank you so much for your help and packing videos!!! I think I have finally decided to pull the trigger and get this. Especially since it’s on sale! Stay safe :)

Thank you! So happy to hear that!☀️
I keep telling myself I don’t need this bag, BUT WOW! You’re video may make me change my mind 😂❤️
Haha #sorrynotsorry 😂 it really is my favorite dagne bag! You would love it!!
Just bought this bag! Love your videos ❤
Thank you!! I still have this one and love it :)

Thanks! I’m glad it was helpful ;)
This exact backpack is on my wish list. It may be the one I decide to get for my teacher backpack next year. Thank you for the review.
It would be awesome for that I think!! It’s a great size for an everyday bag when you need to hold planner/books

Yes I totally agree!! Even with my laptop and books...it’s really comfy!

Great review

Oh wow I am loving this bag !! It’s beautiful and looks really light ? Is it lightweight ?
Yes!!! And really comfy
I was wondering if this heather gray material creases, makes indentations, and “piles” like the regular normal fabric that they have for all of other colors (except the pollen air)?
Would a pair of shoes fit inside this size of Backpack? Thank you again for all your great reviews!
Yep! I’m so glad they’re helpful :)
Great review I’ve been eyeing this backpack! How do you get through TSS with you liquids packed this way?
I always buy water/snacks after I get to my gate so I don’t actually go through security with a water bottle or anything.
I’ve never heard of this bag, but it’s now on my list! It looks so light weight, I think it’d be great for Disney trips. Also, where did you get your Apple watch band? Love it, and I need an upgrade. Thanks!😊
Yes it would be! I really love it! I got it on amazon...I think I have it linked in my amazon shop. I’ll check 😉
I tried finding it but couldn’t. I’ll keep looking.😅
Does this color ever get dirty? If so I’d it easy to clean?
It doesn’t! Hides well because of the flecs in the color if that makes sense lol
I’ve been eyeing this bag for a while. How does it compare in size to the JuJuBe BRB??
I think the brb is bigger and I feel like boxier if that’s makes sense. It’s almost a cross between the be packed and brb if there was one lol
Thank you!!
May we see the backpack on the body? Thank you.
Sure! I’ll try and get something posted over on IG stories :)
Is the bag washable?
Does anyone know where the adventure wallet is from?
Where did u get ur wallet love it perfect size for traveling? I have this bag too but in a large.
OVenture! It’s the best! I have a 15% off link in the description. I love them!
Do water bottles fit in the side pockets? Thanks!
Yep!! Regular plastic water bottles and swell type water bottles. You could fit a fatter tumbler but I wouldn’t stretch it like that personally :)
hi. what is the name of your wallet? thanks! 😊
Hi do you prefer this bag as a mom errands bag/also packed with stuff for kiddos or the medium indi?
Hmmmm for stuff with kiddos I would go indi!
I have lumbar scoliosis so I was wondering if this is more comfortable than the jujube be packed? Oh and more spacious? Thank you ♥️
Yes to both! Now comfort wise i like the JuJuBe be zealous the best and think that would would compare closer to this one...but compared to be packed this one is more comfortable. The material is just awesome!
GatorMOM thank you so much for your help and packing videos!!! I think I have finally decided to pull the trigger and get this. Especially since it’s on sale! Stay safe :)
Have you had any issues with pilling on the material of the bag?
Not at all
