Canvas Backpack - Large

I needed a new diaper bag and most of them out there are REALLY expensive.. especially for something this size.. I wanted something big because I use cloth diapers and generally like to carry everything in one bag. I also wanted something that my husband wouldn't look weird carrying and he preferrs natural colors/tones. This is a perfect bag for us!! It's actually too big for our needs but it's light and easy to sling on your shoulder and still carry our 20 lb 7 month old! :) Only down fall is there is no pockets on the inside so I had to fill smaller bags with things that would wind up on the botton. Otherwise I LOVE THIS BAG!! OH AND FREE SHIPPING! Last thing.. I had something spill on this bag within the first week I had this and was out of town.. I didn't have the tags that came with it and never read how to clean it so I just threw it in the washer on the delicate cycle.. sure enough I took it out of the washer and found the tag inside that said not to wash it to just spot wash it!! oops.. it came out fine, in fact no problems! yayyy!!

I have not had this bag for very long, but hopefully it will live up to my expectations. I like that it has a drawstring as opposed to a zipper, which seem to frequently fail. The bag looks great and the canvas seems sturdy, my only complaint (more of a concern) is that the zippers on the smaller outer pouches seem a tad flimsy, but who knows, maybe they will last forever. Only time will tell. This is a pretty big bag though. I ride a bike and am fairly used to carrying around larger messenger bags and the like, but this one really does take the cake. It holds a lot and sits comfortably on the back and shoulders, but I could imagine that on a smaller person this bag may look a little silly (keep in mind I'm 6'2''). It does kind of collapse onto itself when it is filled with less items, so it doesn't look that big all the time. Great bag though, and hey, it's only 28 bucks. If you don't like it, just buy something else with all of the money you saved.
