I love this style of bag - this is my second one Ive purchased. My first one (yellow one) I bought several years ago and with all honesty I have completely beat it up and wore it out. It is perfect for me as a mom of three and a few more, carrying kids and managing a shoulder bag just don't mix. I love the option to wear it as a cross body and convert it to a backpack. In the summer I walk out the door with one bag instead of a purse and a diaper bag. As some posts stated, it did get a bit floppy over the years but I didn't mind it. I noticed the new one is a bit larger, and definitely more stiff so that is a bonus, but the straps seem thinner than the old style, I guess only time will tell. It fits my wallet, basic purse necessities and still enough room to toss a water bottle, or a diaper clutch or toss a book into if needed.
