My mom has had these bags for years and she loves them so I already knew exactly what to expect. I think she's had 2 or 3 and mostly she gets a new one just to get a new color so I know they hold up well over time.I'm 21 weeks pregnant and my back is *killing* me so it was time to give up my awesome Miche bag and look for something I could wear on my back to disperse the weight a bit. I looked at a bunch of backpacks and even bought a couple but returned them because even though they had plenty of pockets, once you put things into the pockets they sagged into the other compartments making them useless.So I went online and stumbled across the Healthy Back Bag and thought, "oh yeah! My mom has a bad back and she's been using this for years." Plus, a lot of reviewers mentioned it felt even better than a backpack which I agree with.Overall, I really love this bag. When my back is hurting I just extend the strap (which is super easy to do) and sling it across my back. I went shopping for 4+ hours the other day and it really saved my back! Plus, I adore knowing exactly where everything is. The pockets are great and the silver lining makes it easy to see everything. Also, I like the security of it being zipped up against my body. And it's the perfect size to carry my Kindle Fire in! A tad too small for my husband's iPad. (The corner peaks out and you can't quite zip it closed although almost.) It's a great bag and Amazon has it for a great price! When I told my mom I found it on Amazon for this price she bought another one! (sorry dad!) It's about half the price she usually pays.
