Amy Michelle Madison Avenue Review

I bought this bag after owning Ju Ju Be Between and Colombia backpack. They both didn't work for me very well.

I was looking for a bag that wouldn't look like a diaper bag but would still have the organization for the few things you need for a toddler. This bag looks like a school bag and is great - I can fit a change of clothes for my boy, a couple of toys, sippy cups, some snacks and of course diapers and wipes. For myself I carry wallet, keys, cell phone and a bottle of water. Just enough for a short trip.

This bag is very narrow, so the outside bottle pockets are snug - you can have baby's cups/bottles there, but not a Sigg bottle. A Sigg would fit in the inside bottle pocket though (I have an Oggi stainless steal 26oz and it fits but I still carry it inside - the pockets are not very deep).

Because it is so narrow and the outside pockets (the back compartment and the mommy pocket) are flat, they steal from the inside space and it's a little hard to reach the bottom of the bag. So I just roll the spare clothes in a Ziploc and push them to the bottom and have all the rest of stuff on them - works for me. Despite being so narrow, this bag stands on it's own - a pleasant surprise.

As for the stroller straps they are on Velcro, so if you take them on and off the stroller opening the Velcro, they probably won't last a long time. I just left them on the stroller and attached a couple of carabiners to them to put the bag on because the ones they have are small and hard to open.

The backpack transition is not very easy - you have to remove the strap from the shoulder position completely and reorganize it for the backpack. To put it on you bag you have to use both hands simultaneously because the strap slides inside the loop, but once you have it there it works fine. Also, it's great having this option.

It's not fancy - the hardware is plastic, and there is a Velcro closer on the back compartment (I would prefer magnetic or a zipper). But as I said - it's great for the price, looks sturdy and I don't feel like I need to be careful with it - just use it. Also looks like I'll be able to throw it in the washer.

This would be perfect if it was two inches shorter and not so narrow, but really great otherwise.

There is also a video review on it on YouTube [...]
and a lot of reviews on E-bags website.

Hope this helps.
