I was looking for a cross body bag to use as a purse and to carry a few essential toddler items. For this purpose, this bag would have worked well. Lots of pockets and the size was good. However, I sent it back for several reasons. The material is a little noisy. The credit card slots in the outside pocket were not big enough to fit credit cards. The main problem, though, was the strap. It was constantly against my neck and because of the rough edge, it was very uncomfortable.
