Like it but some drawbacks – Matching the fabric to pram colour is attractive and the bag is generally functional. The way it attaches to the pram is particularly well resolved. I have a bit of a love hate relationship with the light coloured lining of my bag - it makes it easier to see into the depths but it tends to mark easily, especially as the flap that goes over the front of the bag isn't waterproof material; the magnetic closures mark particularly badly. Similarly, the outside shell is only canvas so you might consider a waterproof spray to cut down on marks. I really hate the Velcro closures on all the pockets, it just makes it hard to get your hand on anything working one-handed, which is standard operating procedure for any parent. I have put soft Velcro on the hook patches to neutralise them. I agree with Red Lippy Mum's review that the front compartment lacks depth, so that when the main section is full, I am really struggling to get hold of my wallet. I also miss a zip section in the middle of my old bag where I could keep papers. But I would fill up any storage, so may not be the best reference. RLM's comments on bottle holders I also endorse; they are too small for almost all baby bottles and all drink bottles and the zip around the outside is really awkward. I keep a shopping bag in one and wrestle my keys from the other, and there is usually swearing; really poorly resolved. The shoulder strap is well padded, adjustable and comfortable. On the whole, the bag works pretty well and seems to be of good quality, but I do find it a bit cramped. Unlike RLM, I have not found the lining disintegrated. After three months of solid use; there are no signs of wear so far.

Man handled-needs refinement – Nappy bag came with our stroller. Whilst the stroller is extraordinary in quality design and function..(read i love it!!!).....The nappy bag is internally terrible!! Baby isn't 5 months old yet internal pockets and lining have ripped apart. The problem seems to lie with the velcro holding the pockets closed. 1. Velcro is a no no!! Not baby friendly, too noisy, not easy to open with one hand. Ok...Impossible to open any internal velcro pockets with open hand.

2. Fabric lining is too open weave, which made it weaker than the velcro itself. So ripping the velcro open 10 times a day was too much pull for the chosen lining. It had ripped badly within two months of regular use.

3. No depth to large front compartment. So when main compartment is reasonably full the front had no depth to allow for purse keys or phone.

4. The insulated bottle holders on each end of the bag were too small for most modern wide necked bottles. Both baby bottles and water bottles. I ended up storing fold up shopping bags and soothers in them.

I would strongly recommend magnetic close to all pockets, internal and otherwise, larger bottle pockets and stronger fabric lining.

Then this bag would be as awesome as it's stroller counterpart!!

It's size is good, light lining colour is great, makes it easy to see contents.

Fabric to outer of bag is great. Durable soft and strong. Change pad is great too-large and soft.

Stroller hooks on bag work great with stroller, an awesome idea.

The shoulder strap is also brilliant. Wide and strong, with great padding.

The large "feet" on bottom of bag are also fantastic. Keeps bag off the floor and dry.

So all in all too much bad not enough good. Sorry joolz! But if we don't say what's wrong then you'll never perfect the nappy bag!! Size, external features, lining colour, feet and straps Velcro, lining fabric, front compartment too small, bottle pockets too small.
