Will be a 1st time mom, I like the appearance of this bag, but am concerned that it is embarrassingly big.Should I start out w a smaller one? Which?

I suggest getting a smaller diaper bag. The skip hop is huge and I usually use it for my 2 kids when I am spending the whole day away from the house. It is also hard to store in strollers due to the size.

1 st time mom here (7 months of using). I have to say it is quite large, however I've used it mainly hanging on back of stroller. When I do carry it on my shoulder, it is a bit heavy...so I switch shoulders often. With all that said, I LOVE this bag. It fits everything and then some!! I'd rather have more than enough stuff with a large diaper bag than not enough!

It is not that huge. Our compares to bags you might take for work that hold files, etc. Compartments are great and you can easily divide your things from baby's things. The stroller hooks are prefect for keeping the bag off of your shoulder and easily b accessible for all your needs as you are out and about. You can always go to the baby stores and try several bags on and see what styles you like and then order on Amazon. That's what I did.

I got the sm but my daughter is smaller like 29/30 in. The sm for me was perfect... it's very roomy. You could always exchange it for a bigger size. I will be ordering the knit one for the summer! �

In my opinion, you will definitely need a separate bag for your things. I hang a small diaper bag over the handle bar (although it's not recommended ). The basket is hard to access, but if you have small hands and skinny arms you can get in there. It doesn't hold much

My girlfriend is 5' 2" and I think this bag is far too large for her, even cinched-down all the way. To be on the safe side, I would go one size smaller.

I don't think it's too big a bag for only one baby. A small child would fit in nicely without being too spacious or cramped. Just remember to leave the bag unzipped a little so baby can breath.

Our baby is close to 13lbs and I feel like she has a few more months in it- it is very roomy on her. I think you would still get a lot of use out of it.

It would be way too big. I got a 17 1/2 Pavillion and it seems big for that.Also not too much padding. Cute to look at but really not protection for your stuff.

I think it could be too small, but most importantly, it is not a great stroller, it broke after just couple uses for us. Uppababy is what we ended up with especially from what I learned from other reviews, it has great warranty if you use its brand traveler bag.

Depends on your experincing and age.To reduce frustration for new and/or younger..get large. For most medium bag. Small only for those who are good at the speed bag.

I'm a guy and I have this bag...I've not gotten any comments about it looking like a purse. I think the shoulder pad and size clearly separates it from the purse category. It's far less purse like than in the photos. I also carry mine cross shoulder so it's even less like a purse and more comfortable to carry. I don't know that it can be mistaken for a purse any more than any bag that a man would carry, except for a briefcase or the large square traditional camera case, which in my opinion screams "snatch/steal me as you ride by on your bike!" My best advice is simply carry a brick in the slot next to the camera and if someone some dude says "nice purse" smack the crap out of them with the bag...the ensuing concussion should give him a good reason to think before he says anything similar in the future. Finally, since you won't be pairing it with high heels, I really think you'll be fine. :-) Of course I'm teasing you a bit, but seriously, I wondered the same thing but now think it's fine and not very purse-like in person.

Hi! I'm a 24 year girl and I feel comfortable but I still think maybe it's a little big for me. So, You better pick a 50L model made for womans! I would buy High Sierra again. Buy a little one and learn how to pack well to make the things fit in Perfectly. Hope I helped you out.

I would not recommend this as a (daily) diaper bag. You may want to look for something a little bit more structure/sturdiness. With all the items you listed, you will definitely feel the weight and it's contents while wearing it... hopes this helps....

I would suggest a 6 by 9. I will venture to guess you may be upgrading a starter everyday bag and crave more speed. Even if this is your first bag the 6 by 9 will not be a tiny peanut bag by any standards. Still, if you are getting a nice bag, spend the money on a nice ball bearing swivel. The swivel will make a drastic difference. Avoid the plastic ball and socket swivels, they will ruin your experience. It will be a fast learning curve and the bag will allow you to become quite fast while having the size to give good resistance. Good luck.

It's somewhat large I would think for a small to med size woman. The straps might get in the way if standard straps come close to being bothersome.

You have more than enough room in large pack. I don't havea smaller oneto compare it to. So if your going to carry a lot of stuff id say large is way to go.

I suggest the first time to have 2 people. Returning home, I set it up by myself in the yard, also female 5'7". Taking it down is a littile more problematic. Never really got it in the bag, but do have it compressioned strapped in the bag.
