Kokopax Blakely Ring Tote Review And Giveaway

I like big bags. Not only do I like them, I need them. Ever since I got pregnant with TJ I started carrying big bags. After all, small bags won’t hold all of the stuff I carry. When TJ was a baby and I was a new mother I carried everything but the kitchen sink in my plastic Pooh diaper bag. I loved the size of that thing but hated that it cracked and eventually looked nasty. CJ is 10 now. He requires a special diet and still has some accidents so I still carry everything but the kitchen sink in my bag, which is why I accepted the offer to review the Kokopax Blakely Ring Tote.

Kokopax was founded in 2007 by Sarah Spoor, a mother of four young children. Sarah created the popular Kokopax Classic Carrier as an update to an older style of Gerry backpacks that she liked to carry her children in. The kokopax collection includes a line of high quality, modern, lightweight framed carriers along with coordinating totes and sun hats for baby.

The Kokopax Blakely Ring Tote is no average baby gear tote. The feel of the 18″ x 4 ½” x 18 ” tote is impressive, it’s very solid. The tote is made of 100% cotton canvas and has a durable nylon lining. Inside the tote there is a bottle compartment, three roomy pockets, a matching mini tote and a key fob. It easily holds all of my stuff - keys, cell phone, checkbook, wallet, change purse, planner, old planner, business cards, ipod, brush, contact lens case, eyeglasses, saline, note pad and pens - with lots of room to spare for when I carry juice boxes, pullups, travel wipes and gluten-free snacks. Even with all of that it’s still not full. I’m pretty sure I could fit a netbook in there too. What I like best about the tote is the workmanship - it’s sturdy and well put together. The available patterns are modern, making it easy to use the tote for any purpose whether or not you have children. You could even use this tote as a purse if you wanted. I did and received lots of compliments.

The Kokopax Blakely Ring Tote is available in six custom fabric designs: bubbles, buds, sailor, espresso, garden and licorice and has a recommended retail price of $79.99. Kokopax products, including the Blakely Ring Tote, may be purchased online at www.kokopax.com. Use coupon code mkia2009 for 10% discount on any order.
