Sports reviews of Kelty K.I.D.S. Messenger Diaper Bag

Customer Review: Excellent (as in, close to perfect but not quite) Diaper Bag
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

This bag is an excellent middle-sized diaper bag.

The size (not mentioned above) is roughly 13" tall by 13" wide by about 5" deep. It's about twice as large as a smaller sized purse, about 2/3 the size of a laptop sized tote.

PROS:
* medium size works well for everyday use.
* front compartment is great for purse-type items while main compartment great for baby gear, thus getting rid of the need to carry two bags.
* many pockets of varying sizes makes it easy to organize things.
* flap top opening makes it easy to get into things one-handed
* well made with solid zippers, good cloth, sturdy seams, etc.
* one pocket in the main compartment is right up near the top and light-colored inside - perfect for items you often need right away and don't want to dig for.
* messenger strap/backpack straps both comfy - the versatility is very helpful, especially if parents prefer different styles of carrying the bag.
* can also attach to a stroller via clips that hide in side compartments. very helpful for long walks.
* plain black and gray color is good for those who don't like froufy and/or babyish diaper bags
* decent price for a good product.

CONS:
* plain black and gray is well...plain. kind of a boring-looking bag, truthfully.
* changing pad is not that great. does not fold flat once you put anything in the attached pouch. it takes up room in main compartment - i packed it into the backpack strap pouch on the back. it has no velcro on it and just sort of flops open. also, it's not very big. oh well, i didn't buy the bag for the changing pad.
* front flap is one giant pocket, but the opening to that pocket is a 4" size zip pocket on the left side. this means either you stuff something big into that pocket through a small opening (like a blanket) OR you put small things into the giant pocket and they rattle around (like my keys). it would have made more sense for the whole pocket to zip open at the top OR to have divided up that space into multiple small pockets.
* while parts of the interior are light colored, most of the interior is black, which makes it harder to see things.

SUMMARY: Overall, a good product, far better than most diaper bags I've seen (and I've looked around a lot). Just a few tweaks would have made it pitch perfect for me.
