Follow up: almost 2 years later...We still use this bag and it still works great. The lining between two sections is tearing away, but for the price, that isn't unreasonable. We have stuffed it full of kiddo gear. The bag itself is still holding up well and is as lightweight as you make it sooo light empty. Can't complain!
FOLLOW UP: 2 months later...
We LOVE this bag! We haven't used it daily for 2 months, but we did travel with it and have used it for outings many times. It has been great! It holds so much and seems to be quite durable. I am quite confident we will be able to use it to carry the needs of a 2 year old and an infant together. Even if I had to replace it next year, for the cost and better balance (back/neck strain reduced), it would be totally worth it.

I purchased this bag about a week ago to use as a diaper bag for travel purposes and just the random out-and-about activity. I wanted a spacious, sturdy bag that is well padded to try to reduce strain on shoulders, neck and back of our usual shoulder diaper bag. Although we haven't yet fully tested it with travel (this weekend) or weight (ditto), it really seems to measure up so far.
There are a couple small zipper compartments in great front-access places for parent keys/phone/wallet and tissues/sunblock, plus the smallest main compartment that would usually be the pencil holder area is perfectly holding our disposable changing pads, plus 6 diapers and a travel case of wipes, as well as diaper creme. I wanted that secluded from snacks and toys, but highly accessible and this does it.
The bag then has 2 full sized compartments that utilize the full height and width of the bag at the back that will serve well, I am sure, to hold a lot of books, toys, a blanket, and snacks snacks snacks!
It wasn't easy to find a bag that seemed to be real sturdy construction, maxing out dimensions, well padded, light weight!!!, and not laptop-focused. Most bags I was really liking are so centered around padding a laptop, which is just excess space we don't need to occupy.
I hope to get back out here after traveling with this to update the review, but at this point, it seems very well made and I am quite pleased with our purchase.
Good "business color" black
Very light
It has been overloaded and overstuffed on hundreds of flights
One of the zippers finally gave in
So I bought a replacement: so I therefore definitely can say I recommend the product
THe compartment design work well for me.
Note that it does not come with a laptop sleeve but I already had one
Also it is one of the cheaper backpacks around and yet it has been better than others I bought at 4 times the price
