Fluid Motion Backpack: Best Feeding Tube and TPN Backpack

The Fluid Motion Backpack allowed me to attend my son’s Eagle Scout Ceremony! This bag is extremely well designed to make feeding on the go so much easier. No more missing events and milestones!!!! The materials are solid, functional and high quality. This bag stands straight up on its own if you take it off and put it down when sitting or working. It’s not flimsy and still lightweight. Lots of room for personal items and super storage for back up supplies, extensions, extra formula, etc. it even can accommodate formulas that need ice packs. My only disappointment is that it only is available in black right now. I hope the platinum one becomes available again! This really is the BEST FEEDING TUBE BAG!!!!! Worth every penny!

My Mighty Well backpack is my third since getting my feeding tube and it is the one I wanted/needed all along.

It's shaping and stability is perfect! I works great for loading and stays upright even on the bed. I love it's thin profile because I can keep it on my back when sitting in a chair or even on the toilet. And I had no idea how much I would appreciate the zip-able access point.

I balked for a minute at the price. $150 is actually a completely reasonable price, but I was feeling overwhelmed by just how.much everything related to tube-feeding costs. But my spouse reminded me that the only thing I use more than my backpack are my glasses, and those cost a hell of a lot more! And I am so glad I listened to him, because this bag is worth so much more than what they charge! It is just that good of a bag!

Before getting this bag I had makeshifted my own iv fluids backpack. On my diy one, I had sewed in a clear plastic square over where my pump would be so I could control the pump without having to open the bag which is something I really wish the Motion Backpack had. While the Motion Backpack has a mini zipper on the side to get to the pump, if your pump is secured with the velcro, it is hard to actually get to it and see what you’re doing. I also wish the zippered clearish-white compartment was able to stretch out more allowing more space. I put my flushes in this part and it is hard to shove them in there with it being so stiff. I also wish the two mesh pockets behind the iv bag hooks had more stretch as it’s hard to shove anything in there as well. I do like the two zippered mesh pockets above the white compartment though. As far as the personal compartment goes, I like the padded sleeve for my laptop/ipad, but I wish the compartment was a bit larger so I could fit additional items. I really don’t like the diagonal zippered pocket in the front. I like the space within it but the design is strange to me. Two things I REALLY wish this bag had: is a mesh, side water bottle pocket and a small, easy access pocket for phone/ wallet. The diagonal zipper has too much vertical space where it’s hard to shove phone and wallet in it and be able to easily grab them when needed. I also would have really appreciated it if the self-care bag was included and not sold separately. It would be a great addition for me to have to have more space to keep meds and other supplies/things. However, I was barely able to afford the backpack and having to spend an extra $40 on a tad bit more space isn’t an option for me. Having a chronic illness and so many medical expenses is such a financial burden and having to spend a large chunk of money just for convenience is a very hard thing to do. But the bag does fulfill the core of what I needed which was a bag I can administer my iv bags and also hold my laptop in for school. I think the money would have been much more well spent if the carrying case was included because shoving all my supplies within the main compartment is a bit challenging. I do however, very much appreciate this bag exists as I spent so long trying to find a bag for my iv pump that could double as a school/personal bag. I think MightWell is a great company, and while their products do seem to be high quality, due to their prices their products aren’t very accessible at least in my situation.

At first I wasn’t sure how my big TPN bag would fit because on the inside this back pack is divided into two pockets but I used both carabiners to hold up my TPN bag, tucked my pump in one of the pockets and it works perfectly!

The backpack also has extra compartments to hold all my supplies that I need to keep on me at all times and even has extra space for my wallet, keys, mask, and whatever else I want to throw in there! It has multiple exit points for the TPN line, padded shoulder straps (which has been improving my shoulder pain already!), and two hooks on the outside to attach a mask or hand sanitizer for easy access. Whoever designed this bag definitely knew the struggles of needing a bag for fluids, TPN or tube feeds because it was designed in a way only someone with personal experience could understand.

The backpack is also incredibly quality. I couldn’t believe the thickness of the fabric and the reinforcement of the seams. It feels like this backpack will hold up for years to come. Truly an investment to make if you’re able to!

I love this bag especially the extra 3inches they added. I no longer have to squeeze my IV bag, it fits perfectly in the bag. I only have one complaint, I wish they had put a zipper on both sides of the bag like the first one. It made it very convenient to put my feeding and IV bags in while I'm attached. Other than that it is perfect, I love it so much!

I’ve been on 24 hour TPN for 8 months now and I’ve basically lived with this backpack being by my side 24/7 for 8 months. My TPN volume is a little over 2 liters but I was able to alter the inside slightly to fit my TPN inside perfectly. I absolutely love this backpack so much and it’s definitely worth the cost. I’m glad to have a backpack I can trust and rely on to work and be efficient!!

I love this Mighty pack! I used to have to carry around two separate bags, one for my feed and one for my IV fluids. this bag holds everything I need and makes my life so much easier!

This backpack has been a game changer for carrying my many medical supplies and still has room for school supplies and my daily life items!

This back pack is fantastic I love the look and feel! The adjustable straps are super comfy an organization for feeding tube supplies is great. Definitely worth the money I’m in love!!

Desperate to get a replacement as soon as they are in stock. No other bag accommodates keeping the formula cold and enough space for all the supplies. Only way to travel!

this has made our life so easy! I’ve been trying to purchase a second one and I recommend it to all the parents I know with kids who are on TPN but it’s been out of stock for so long

I have been extremely happy and pleased with the fluid motion backpack. It has helped me so much with being able to carry my feeding tube bag and pump around when needing to be connected to my tube feeds for 20hrs a day and it has helped relieve my back, neck and shoulder pain when carrying around my tube feeds in a backpack. I love my fluid motion backpack and it has made my life so much easier and better overall! I have been thrilled with the fluid motion backpack! It also made taking my medical supplies with me when going out places much easier. Also I have had way less issues with my pump beeping while running my tube feeds in the fluid motion backpack which has been fantastic!

Very spacious and easy to carry.

Fluid Motion Backpack: Best Feeding Tube and TPN Backpack

My daughter loves it. It has made it possible for her to have only 1 backpack for school instead of the two she had, one for infusions/g tube feeds and the other for school needs. I had been modifying a regular backpack for g tube and IV infusions for years and it only had one hook and sometimes both her IV fluids and her gtube feed would be on it. But now she has hooks for both and sections for both and a pocket for supplies so we can keep things organized etc. It's even easy to charge her g tube pump at night.

There is no way around it, the bag is made for 1L NS/LR or feed bags. It cannot reliably hold TPN mixing bags as they are too long, there is nothing to keep them from flopping around, and the tubing kinks because it's just hanging. There is a reason that only 1L bags are in the product images.
The retainment pockets only hold 1L making them useless for anything but 1L or smaller bags.
The backpack was a good idea in theory, but it's obvious that their product designers don't actually try any of the equipment in the back while designing to make sure it works.

This was the perfect backpack for my Autistic kid that has a center line. He sometimes has outbursts and throws his bag and has caused his TPN bag to leak. In this backpack we have not had one incident where his TPN has leaked or busted. 10/10

This very expensive backpack was clearly delivered to the wrong address. I was told to go knocking on neighbor’s doors to see who had it. We have one neighbor. They don’t have it. Mighty Well is ignoring emails and offering no solutions to paying $150 for a backpack I don’t get to use. You can’t call them—no phone number is listed. There is no photo evidence of the package on my porch. It was delivered via USPS—which is known for losing packages. Why won’t this company help? I just got my picc line last week, spent a week in the hospital due to not being able to digest my food and being extremely under weight, and I just want the backpack I payed a whole lot of money for. I’d submit a photo of the product…but I don’t have it.

Mighty Well- make this right! Until then I do NOT recommend this company. Customer Service is dismal. And they don’t care about treating their medically fragile customers with respect.
