Not impressed
This bag makes me a little crazy. Its a decent bag compared to some of the others which are just way too buly/expensive. There are four major problems with this item.<br /><br />1) This bag is tall and thin. The machine at the bottom makes it so bottom heavy that the rest of the bag wants to flop forward. Most other bags are wider and not as tall, making the less liekly to flop or fall.<br />2) Problem #2 is the complete lack of any kind of pocket or mesh. Nothing to put an an extra feed bag in, or packets of santizer wipes or, well, anything at all. The criss cross things in the front are virtually useless. I tried putting some things in there, tightening it, and they were loose and unstable. Tightening the bungee too much makes the bag look ridiculous and cinched.<br />3) Problem #3 is that mesh pocket inside the bag for the machine. It's a job for the jaws of life getting the machine in and out of that obnoxiously small pocket. I know other reviewers have said similar things that it will stretch and whatnot. It really kind of doesnt. It does  *a little*. But not much. It has absolutely zero stretch in the material. I used to only put the machine in the bag when we went places, but it took so much f*ing time to manhandle the machine into the pocket, and then break my finger tips trying to get it out later, that we just keep it in this bag at all times. In that respect it actually works out bc we hang the bag from hooks and it's portably convenient. So there's a star, I guess.<br />4) Problem #4, is that there is (was) no way to charge up the machine while it's in the bag. What if you're traveling a long distance, or will be out for most of the day? I have to pry the machine out of the pocket and stuff it back in for half an hour just to get it charged? No. I did that like an idiot the first couple of times, and then decided to just cut a very small hole in the mesh and it opened up into the perfect space for the cord to fit through. Apparently it was too hard for this company to consider that people might actually have the audacity to want to charge the machine while in the bag. (eyeroll). Easy to solve, but it just shouldn't have had to be that way.<br />5) Problem #5 is that the flap for the window doesnt have the option to stay open. My son gets feeds during the night and its so annoying to try and undo that velcro every time the the machine beeps, which is alot. Again, easily solvable with a safety pin, but it just shouldnt have to be that way.<br /><br />Generally, the bag does what its designed to do but not one single other thing. The other star is for the the fabric being easily cleanable. A dry-ish sponge and some scrubbing and it gets off any splatters of formula.<br /><br />Not impressed.
