One reviewer said: "I bought this to take on holiday to leave me ' hands-free' without worrying too much about someone stealing from an outside pocket. It's lightweight, well-made, has good hardware (zips) and has a couple of pockets inside as well as the two front side pockets and 'bottle holder' type pockets. The access to the main compartment is a good size but covered when you are wearing it. I bought a Luxjar backpack organiser (small) as I found many of the bits and pieces I wanted to carry got 'lost' in the main pocket. This makes this bag excellent for travel on a plane etc., but means I can take it out for daily use when there's enough space to roll up a waterproof jacket. Very pleased with the bag, and good value for money."

One reviewer said: "This bag is brilliant! I have a mile to walk to work and my handbag was heavy, so I had to carry my lunch separately. This bag is full of pockets, the top opens to reveal a cavernous space inside. Yesterday I carried all my things, lunch bag and meeting folder, there was still plenty of room. It's well made for the money and very smart. The carry handles are great because it quickly converts into a stylish bag to take to meetings rather than a rucksack. The design is seriously great. I can highly recommend this bag as it's versatile, strong, smart and stylish. Delivery was on time, although when it arrived, I was alarmed that it looked very small, but when I opened the package I saw that the bag was folded in half. I love my new bag, and so does everyone else."

One reviewer said: "Being a first-time mom, I wasn't sure what type of diaper bag I wanted. I was also gifted a total of three diaper bags, and to be honest, I never like the backpack style diaper bags, so I went with the traditional old-school diaper bags. I eventually found myself looking for a new one because I just wasn't happy with the one that I had until I came upon this one. It was the best decision I ever made. Yes, the bag is pricey, and I consider myself a very frugal person. I am very happy I invested in this diaper bag."

One reviewer said: "Great little bag for the price, currently in between a nappy bag and a normal small bag so this has been perfect, it fits two nappies, wipes, a large lunch box, Chilly's water bottle my large ted baker purse my iPhone 8, plus and a few other small bits. I've given it a good tug. and nothing has come off. Great bag for £15 :) the only downfall is it doesn't stay closed."

One reviewer said: "I love this backpack - I wanted a bag similar to what I previously owned but to go handsfree also didn't want it to be too small. I can fit so much in this bag without feeling like I'm being weighed down. I was worried about the zip on this bag, but so far so good, no problems whatsoever. I would highly recommend it."

The bag itself has lots of space so you can pack for all instances that may happen when having a baby. My husband also loves it and often wears it when we are out.
