I am the Queen of Team Never Check A Bag whenever I travel, and that is 100% thanks to the Beis Travel Backpack.
I once read a statistic that seven out of every 1,000 checked bags go missing, and that stat was all I needed to learn to fit everything I need in a backpack and carry-on suitcase.
I haven’t checked a bag when flying since before 2020. I have several methods for fitting everything in my travel bags, but it also helps that I have a United and JetBlue card. I always have a good boarding group when I fly, and I know I will be able to put a carry-on suitcase in the overhead compartment and my personal item (my backpack) will fit under the seat in front of me.
My two bags of choice are the Beis Travel Backpack and the Away Carry On. I love my Away bag, but I know the real reason I can pack everything I need, whether I am going away for a weekend in Colorado or eight days in Disney World, is thanks to my Beis backpack.
The Beis Travel Backpack is a backpack, obviously. It can be used for day-to-day bag needs, but it is created for travel and can be used as a personal item or a carry-on bag when flying.
Not to be confused with the expansive collection of 9 backpacks now offered by Beis, my bag is the Travel Backpack. I bought mine in 2022, when Beis only sold two backpacks: this and the Backpack Diaper Bag.
The feature that makes the Travel Backpack more impressive than all of the others is that it fully unzips and can be opened to lie flat like a suitcase. This is a perk that makes it very easy to pack this bag to maximum capacity.
The Beis Travel Backpack unzips and folds out, just like a suitcase. This is the best feature about this bag that makes it easier than ever to fill it to max capacity.Ana Suarez

- Beis Backpack Price
The Travel Backpack now sells for $118. This is quite a bit more than what I paid in 2022, when it was between $78 and $88, depending on the color you wanted. However, when I bought my bag, the $78 BÉISics Backpack did not exist.
I have seen the Travel Backpack go on sale for 40% to 50% off, depending on the sale season. The Warehouse sale in February had this backpack marked down by 50%.
It is worth noting, this was recently renamed to the Travel Backpack. When it first launched, it was just the Beis Backpack. With the release of several other backpacks over the last few years, it was updated to properly identify this is the backpack you’d want to buy when traveling.
Does Beis have a diaper bag backpack?
Beis sells two diaper bag options: The Diaper Backpack Bag and The Ultimate Diaper Backpack. The bags retail for $148 to $198 and come in up to four colors.
The former is the original diaper bag and the only other backpack that was available when I got my Travel Backpack in 2022.
The Ultimate Diaper Backpack is the upgraded, more luxe diaper bag offered by Beis. As I currently have no kids, I haven’t gotten a use out of those yet, but intend to put the Ultimate on my baby registry in the future.
When I bought this bag on 2022, there were three colors available. Black, Beige, and Olive. And Olive was out of stock when I bought mine! Now Black is actually OOS (but tends to get restocked often).
In 2025, the Beis Travel Backpack is sold in eight colors (two are currently OOS, Black and Slate).
The six in-stock colors are:
- Beige
- Maple
- Atlas Pink
- Navy
- Olive
- Grey
The color options are great, but I do wish this bag looked a little cuter. The Rucksack and the Expandable Backpack from Beis are certainly more aesthetic designs, but offer less space and functionality than the Travel Backpack.
I hope that as Beis continues to expand its product offerings, perhaps the Travel Backpack will be sold in some fun patterns to liven up the look of this bag. Or, perhaps it’ll be offered in a neoprene material, to give it a fresh face but with the same perfect design.
