I got this to use as a diaper bag when I'm solo with my baby boy. Call me insecure, but as a man, I don't enjoy carrying around a giant purse as all diaper bags are. This bag is more fit for a dad and his son.

Anyhow... this bag seems to be a good buy. I just toss it around, and I haven't yet had any problems with seams coming apart of zippers breaking. I like that it has a lot of pockets, which makes it easy to separate all of my stuff. The side pockets are good for water bottles, and the shoulder straps are comfortable enough.

I wouldn't recommend it for school books or laptops since it's just a floppy canvas bag and it won't do a good job of distributing a heavy load. But for the price it works well enough to tote around a few things.

The army-esque look of it is pretty cool. But I'm Asian, and I thought for a minute that the red star was a little Chairman Mao-ish. But no biggie, I still like it anyway.
