Is the Eddie Bauer Stowaway Packable Backpack worth buying?

Skip this one for the office; keep it for emergency packing in the car, but not as your main bag. So that’s the shortlist — five bags that tried to earn a permanent spot in my daily rotation. The Dagne Dover is still my go-to, but the Timbuk2 comes close when I want to switch up the look. My advice: think about what you’ll grab most in a hurry (for me it’s wipes and my phone) and make sure that pocket is easy to reach one-handed while holding a squirmy toddler. What bag are you rocking right now? Drop a comment and let me know what works — I’m always looking for the next upgrade that my daughter won’t veto for lacking a snack compartment.
