I loved your idea using the clip for keys. Such a simple idea - I can't believe I didn't think of it! I always threw my keys in a pocket, and then had to remember to pull them out while my little guy was still in his stroller or in the shopping cart. And when I did forget - well, it could be quite a balancing act! Even though he's three now, I think it would still come in handy. I'm going to pick one up the next time I'm at the store - thanks for the great idea! Hi Jean,

I love it. It has a lot of room and the large backpack has a flapped compartment on the front that my changing pad fits perfectly in, it's like that space was made for it. Then I keep my diapers and wipes in the zippered pocket in the back and the rest of the goodies in the main compartment: a change of clothes for the little one, a small bag full of essentials like tylenol, sunscreen, etc. a big ziplock of snacks and juice boxes, my wallet (the big zippered one with the wrist strap) and a small cosmetic bag with my essentials tylenol, lipgloss, fingernail clippers, chewing gum, mints, etc. There is also an inside pocket which I keep my cell phone in so I can quickly access it. I use the little mountain climbing clips, whatever they are officially called, to clip my keys to the strap so when I have it on my back and the little one on my hip, I can just reach the strap and push the button to unlock the car without having to put either down. It's awesome and works really well for me.
