I'm checking in for a scheduled C-Section in a few weeks and was looking for a good sized weekender/travel bag for my 3-4 day hospital stay. I wanted a nice bag that would hold both my things and some newborn essentials, and was sure from the reviews that this bag would do (I really couldn't tell from the item description's measurements). Anyway, the bag is really the size of a small tote or oversized handbag. Much too small for a weekender bag. It might do for an overnight, but certainly not for more than 1 or 2 nights. It is, however, a really nice looking bag (I got it in chocolate brown), so I'm giving it 4 stars. If I hadn't been looking for something specific, I would keep it. As it is, I'll be returning it.
