I wanted to use the bag for a few months before writing a review. I agonized over ordering this expensive bag, but my husband convinced me into ordering saying that I would be using this exclusively for at least 2 years. So after many weeks of drooling over the pics and doubting about the quality after reading the reviews I took the plunge and ordered it in mustard when my baby was 8 weeks old. He is 5 months now and I use this every day and love it. The bag is huge and fits a lot of stuff and it looks expensive and stylish. For some it might look more like a small travel bag than a handbag. I'm 5'6" and a size 10 now. I usually wear it on one side by the 2 handles and it reaches above my hips and for my size it is perfect. I usually carry changing pad, 10 diapers, a box of wet wipes, 2 onsies, 1 small blanket, 2-3 burp cloth and 1-2 bottles of milk and still there is space for more stuff. The small matching purse is very useful for credit cards and cash and stuff. I love the keychain holder inside the bag. It is near to the zip so I need to open the bag only slightly to access it. The front zipper pocket is not too small for a smartphone. I have used both blackberry and iPhone. I have not used the stroller straps so cannot comment on it. The bottle pouch was good and I used to hang it over the stroller handle. But I spilled some milk (expressed milk) in it 2 weeks ago and haven't been able to get rid of the smell yet. So not using that right now. We'll be taking an international trip in 2 months (23 hr flight) so will update the review after that. Thanks
UPDATE:I've been using this bag for around 7 months now and I still love it. We recently took an international trip (32 hrs one way. (flight + layover)). I had jam packed my bag with all usual supplies + 12 bottles, 2 manual breast pumps, more onsies, diapers, 5 jars of gerber baby food and a few small soft toys. (I overpack in case we miss a connection flight in between). It was quite heavy but the stroller straps was a huge help. I was worried that they might break off due to the heavy weight of the bag but they held well.
CONS: It was heavy and was a bit difficult to find stuff from inside when it is so heavily packed (That might be the case with any bag i guess). After the rough use I have found a small spot on the bottom part of the body where the skin is torn off.
