I upgraded my 3-yr-old Diaper Dude with a slate/charcoal Charlie Bag and couldn't be happier! Its feature set accommodates the needs for our 2 kids' essentials (and parents', too):Rugged canvas exterior
Laminated, wipeable interior compartments
Contrasting interior lining with clear and mesh pockets
Laminated change mat
Shoulder straps with detachable comfort grip padding
Detachable messenger strap
Adjustable stroller straps
Backpack conversion option
Large insulated cooler bag pocket
Built-in sunglass pocket
Built-in wallet
Removable key clip
Cell phone pocket (fits Blackberry or iPhone)
Two insulated side bottle pockets
Fits up to 13" laptop
Back flap for bulky items such as newspapers, umbrella or yoga mat
Some personal issues on some features:
The shoulder strap grip padding isn't padded at all; it's just a detachable leather grip, which is fine because I prefer to carry the bag messenger style as opposed to the shoulder straps like women do with their Coach purses. Even so, I replaced the messenger strap with a Winn dark brown padded leather strap.
Wish the shoulder straps were detachable too. They lie over the top of the bag and sometimes get in the way.
Large, glam sunglasses may not fit in the included pocket.
The cell phone pocket could be made a little wider to accommodate phones with cases/bumpers...tight! It seems to have been designed for naked phones.
Would like to see a dedicated pen pocket.
Definitely, more positives than negatives! From the contrast inner lining (no more black hole) to the large insulated snack pocket and bottle holders, to the wide main compartment (allows for the laptop) and flat bottom to stay upright, it's great for what it's designed for! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
