In this video I’m sharing a travel essential that’s honestly been a game-changer for us as parents: the Huddo Co Anywhere Backpack. I’m a mum of two now (3-year-old son and 5-month-old daughter), and after our Japan trip I really wanted a proper “two-in-one” bag that could fit toddler stuff + baby stuff without me dragging multiple bags onto the plane. This backpack looks bulky at first, but it’s actually super compact when worn, and we still met the airline requirement (under 7kg) once it was packed. I walk you through the compartments and how I packed it for Japan: the magnetic nappy/wipe dispenser on top, the deep main section with adjustable Velcro dividers, and my favourite “secret pocket” where I stash cash/wallet (and sometimes passports). There are insulated-style front pockets (I used them for meds/utensils since I’m breastfeeding), side bottle pockets with elastic, stroller/pram straps that actually hold, and a luggage pass-through so it sits on your carry-on handle. My husband wore it most of the time and found it really comfortable because it’s cushiony and sits nicely on the back. It’s waterproof, wipes clean, still looks amazing even with daily use, and the bottom compartment is perfect for a lunchbox, jacket, dirty shoes, or anything you want separated. It’s not cheap, but for travelling families, I genuinely think it’s worth it.
