Everyday check: Which backpack suits me?

School/university life : Although both backpacks offer a laptop compartment and plenty of storage space for books and two large binders, our recommendation for everyday use as a pupil, teacher or student is Hugo, because the additional features such as pen holder, key carabiner and clip strap are perfectly utilized.
Sports : Both backpacks can fit a basketball up to size 7! If security is important to you, Hugo has the edge: its double bottom offers a hidden compartment for your valuables.
Supermarket shopping : Easy to handle with both backpacks in everyday life.
You use cloth diapers : Thanks to the clever compartment system in both backpacks, all your essentials are always within easy reach. The COOZ one diaper backpack has an extra advantage: It transforms into a complete diaper-changing station in just one easy step!
Weekend trip : Both backpacks are suitable for this. If you have a baby in diapers, we recommend the COOZ one diaper backpack! And even without kids: The organizer function of the COOZ one is a big plus.

So, which backpack is right for me? Hugo or the COOZ one?

As you can see, it depends on your daily routine. Do you have children in diapers? Do you like to be out and about (even without a stroller)? Do you sometimes stay overnight? Then the COOZ one diaper backpack is definitely the right choice! It will accompany you through the diapering years and even far beyond, as you can easily continue using it as an everyday backpack.
