This bag is very well made (so far). I was originally looking at diaper bags made by my favorite hand bag designer, however, I couldn't justify $250 minimum on a bag that I will only carry for a year max. When I found the Rowdy Bowler, it was just what I was looking for. A diaper bag that looks like a hand bag, and it was right within my budget. I love the removable liner that I can take out and wash and the removable wristlet that allows me to be less cumbersum on short errands not involving my children. Now I don't have to keep a smaller handbag ready to transfer my wallet and keys to when I want to make a quick trip. Plus, I have a seperate compartment for MY things. My Sister in Law always has to dig and dig for her wallet, cell phone, etc in her diaper bag. My only complaint is the weight, but that's the same complaint I have about my current designer hand bag. I think when you buy a higher quality bag, it tends to be heavier due to the construction and materials used. My Rowdy Bowler is now packed and ready for our trip to the hospital for the birth of our third daughter.
