Product Questions

Q: What is the major difference between the X series (Slingback X and Messenger X) and the regular series (Slingback and Messenger) and the regular series?
A: The X series is much more focused on making it easy to stay connected while you’re out and about. Both X bags, the Slingback X and Messenger X, have a padded pocket within the bags to safely protect your laptops and netbooks without needing a laptop sleeve. The non-X series, Slingback and Messenger bags, can also carry laptops, but it is advised to utilize the matching laptop sleeve for better protection since the non-X bags do not have a padded section specifically designed for protecting computers. The laptop sleeves are stand alone products, but also accompany the Slingback or Messenger bags in the 9.2.5 sets. The X series has an expandable section to give you an extra 2” inches when you need it. For additional differences for each X item, please read FAQs related to each product.

Q: What are the difference between the 9.2.5, 24.7, and Freelance?
A: The specific products are the same, the difference is the intended use of our products. We’ve bundled our products to fit specific lifestyles and needs. The 9.2.5, as the name implies is designed with a focus on a traditional work day from 9 to 5. The package includes either a Slingback or Messenger bag with the matching accessories; laptop sleeve and accessory case. Whereas, the 24.7, is dedicated to the long hours and corresponding duties of parenthood. The 24.7 includes the same Slingback, Messenger bag, or Square, but with different matching accessories. The accessories include the insulated bottle holder, changing pad, wipes case, and accessory case. If you have a different agenda, then the Freelance, is right for you. The Freelance allows you to pick and chose the specific products you need.

Q: Is the Slingback X or Messenger X available in the 9.2.5 series?
A: Since the Slingback X and Messenger X has a padded pocket, the laptop sleeve is not required to carefully protect your computer, therefore neither bags are available in the 9.2.5 package. The 9.2.5 is only available in the Slingback and Messenger bags. The 9.25 package includes the bag, corresponding laptop sleeve, and matching accessory case. If you are interested in purchasing the matching accessory case for your X bag, please visit the Freelance page to purchase the item individually.

Q: Is the Square available in the 9.2.5 series?
A: The Square has a padded pocket and does not require a laptop sleeve protect your computer and therefore is not available in the 9.2.5 package. The 9.2.5 is only available in the Slingback and Messenger bags. The 9.25 package includes the bag, corresponding laptop sleeve, and matching accessory case. If you are interested in purchasing the matching accessory case for your Square, please visit the Freelance page to purchase the item individually.

Q: What size bag would my laptop fit?
A: Please use the bag size comparison chart to determine the correct bag for your laptop or netbook.

Q: My laptop is a little larger than the laptop sleeve for the Slingback or Messenger bag, could I still use the bag without the sleeves?
A: As noted on our site, laptop sleeves are designed to hold specific size computers. The small sleeve comfortably holds a standard 13” computer and the larger sleeve holds up to a standard 15.4” laptop (please see the bag comparison chart in the FAQ section for exact dimensions). The small sleeve is designed to fit in the Slingback and the larger sleeve fits in the Messenger bag. If you decide to forego the sleeves, the Slingback easily fits a 15.4” laptop and the Messenger bag fits a 17” laptop. Please keep in mind the Slingback and Messenger bags are not padded to protect your laptop.

Q: What is a laptop sleeve?
Laptop sleeves have extra padding to protect your computer. Laptop sleeves usually do not have extra room to carry other items. In our case, our laptop sleeve doubles as a sleeve as well as a stand alone laptop tote. Our sleeves have an extra pocket in the back to carry files and folders. The detachable nylon strap easily allows you to carry your laptop over your shoulder, across your chest, or in your bag.

Q: Does the accessory case come with both the 9.2.5 and the 24.7?
A: The accessory case does come with both the 9.2.5 and 24.7 packages. The universal application of the accessory case is a great asset to keep both your work and family life organized. The case is helpful in organizing everything from your memory stick, power cords, and pens to your binkies and medicines.

Q: What is the best way to clean my O Yikes! diaper bag and accessories?
A: You have three options to clean your bag and accessories. Depending on the amount of cleaning required, you could wipe clean, spot clean, or hand wash. You can easily wipe off most liquids spilled in or on your bag. Use any soft cloth to wipe your bag clean. To spot clean, use warm water and mild soap. For best results, clean the entire panel, not just the soiled area. If your bag requires more vigorous cleaning, you can hand wash it with mild soap, warm water and a soft, nylon-bristled brush (not recommended for our wool products). Make sure to air dry and do not put your bag in the dryer.
