Backpack adjustment was difficult, and the reviewer found that substantial excess strap remained after the Trabasack Mini was fitted. A removable bean bag inside a zipped pocket helps the Trabasack Mini function as a lap tray or stable table. The tray has a raised edge to help prevent items from rolling away, while its large zipper rings are easy to use.
Large swivel clips let users remove the Trabasack Mini without pulling it over their heads, making messenger-bag access convenient. The Trabasack Mini can use its strap around the waist to keep the tray from sliding off a user’s lap.
Reported strengths
- The Trabasack Mini resembles a small notebook bag, fits notebooks up to fourteen inches, and can be machine-washed when it becomes dirty.
- The Trabasack Mini includes a flat, vinyl-covered hard surface that distinguishes it from ordinary notebook bags.
- A removable bean bag inside a zipped pocket helps the Trabasack Mini function as a lap tray or stable table.
Reported trade-offs
- Although the bean bag and table surface protect a notebook’s top and bottom, the Trabasack Mini leaves its edges unprotected.
- Backpack adjustment was difficult, and the reviewer found that substantial excess strap remained after the Trabasack Mini was fitted.
- The reviewer notes that the Trabasack Mini lacks small interior pockets for organizing pens, notebooks, MP3 players, and similar items.
