I got this bag because of the long adjustable strap. I have a 3 year old and hoisting him in and out of the car, shopping cart, stroller etc. while trying to keep my purse from sliding down my arm was driving me crazy! I saw these Baggallini bags in a store and thought they'd be a great way to fix this problem. I ordered this one from Amazon and am very happy with it. I am not a small-purse person but this seems to fit quite a bit of stuff considering how small it is.
