The bag is a little heavy empty compared to other diaper bags of the type I’ve held before. However, honestly, I do not mind at all because I think some of that is from the construction. This bag feels super sturdy. There really is not a single point where it feels like it’ll easily fail. I’m sure with enough use it would, but anything will. I think you will have this for a WHILE before you have any problems. In addition, multiple of the pockets area waterproof, so they’re easy to clean, and the outside of the bag wiped clean pretty easily.The capacity of the bag is also pretty huge. A lot can fit in there, but with so many pockets it’s also really easy to organize. I’m easily able to pack everything I need in the bag on the go with some room to spare.The baby changing portion is a little tricky to open up the first time, but after you do it once or twice you figure it out and it’s pretty easy. I haven’t needed to actually use it, but I really do appreciate that it’s there.My experience with this backpack style diaper bag has been really good so far, and I would recommend it.
