I bought this diaper bag because I wanted something a bit smaller than the large diaper bag I had been using until my daughter's first birthday. I chose this particular bag because of the numerous pockets that it comes with. I love the color and it seems to be made really well. The only issue I have with it is that you can't actually put something in every pocket. If you put something in the outer bottle pocket, then the diaper disposal bag holder I have won't fit on the inside pocket on that same side. Basically, one pocket impedes the other as there just isn't enough space to go around. The changing pad just fits into the outside pocket so that once you fill up the inside, you have to squeeeeeze the changing pad into the outside pocket. It doesn't really hold much on the inside either. Since I was trying to downsize, this is probably okay for me now since it prevents me from stuffing too much inside!

We've used this diaper bag for a year and have two problems with it:

1. After normal usage it looks shabby and the the seams are frayed and worn.

2. It doesn't hold that much. The diapers are always falling out of the diaper compartment and it's always overflowing. And we don't carry tons of stuff around. It's just that the compartments don't expand so that there's a minimal amount of storage space.

I agree with some other reviewers who say that there's not enough room in the bag when the pockets are full. You definitely have to choose which pockets you want to use, because you can't use them all - they infringe upon each other's space! It's a nice size for short trips, but definitely too small for full-day outings. By the time I pack a few size 2 diapers, a hard travel wipes case, my Hotsling, nursing cover and some burp cloths, there's not much room for extra toys or a blanket if you want to close the top flap. There's even less room on the inside if you take advantage of the zippered pocket for things like wallet, keys, planner, etc.

I also think the bag could benefit from some metal feet on the bottom so you don't get the bag dirty when you set it down, but overall, I'm please with my purchase.
