I do not have any trouble getting the bag on my shoulder with one hand. It could depend on your height and weight. For instance, I'm 5'4", 115lbs and I can put this bag on my shoulder with one hand. When it is on my shoulder, the very top of the bag sits about 5" below my armpit when my arm is down. I have plenty of room between the bag and my armpit. The 9.5" drop is more than it sounds like. :)

I have no problem getting the bag on my shoulder one handed. I have been using this bag for 7 months now and i LOVE LOVE it.

I never had a problem with the strap. It holds comfortably on my shoulders.

It should be fine on a purse strap if the purse doesn't tuck under your arm. It shouldn't be too heavy for most types. Only got the this one, so I couldn't say if it's better or worse than the one labeled from Thor 2, although technically they should be the same since Thor's hammer doesn't change.

Left shoulder is wher you want this strap. I have the one that is shown and I'm right handed. Works' great

Hi put the strap over your shoulder , with one arm out . Make sure the smaller strap is hanging down, pull it under your arm and click the two ends together. If you go back to amazon website and click on the small boxes , you will see how it connects under the left arm pit .then it allows you to pull it freely with your right hand as it hangs on your right side .hope this helps

I've had both. For some reason the newer soft strap digs into my chest and chafes me, while the other did not. I've tried several adjustments to no avail. I'm going back to the older standard strap and monitor combo. I'm average weight and build at 5' 9" and 170 lbs.

I'm 5'10". I can't imagine the strap being a problem for anyone of any size. It's long enough so it can be worn diagonally across your chest with the bag on your back. It's also easy to just throw over one shoulder.

There is no one shoulder strap with this bag. There are two quite long handels which can be kept on a shoulder easliy but there is no way you can go over opposte shoulder.

I've been using this for a while and it's an excellent device. As any strap, it can be made shorter or larger by pulling one of the ends; it's hard to explain in writing but any person who has one in your gym should be able to show it to you. Good luck!Ronald/Paraguay

The handles are too short for over the shoulder use. The long shoulder strap (which is long enough for crossbody use) can be shorten enough so it feels like a handbag strap.

The one I received has 2 straps, not one. I've seen the one with a single strap, and I like mine better.

Quite honestly, I use the hand grips because I find all shoulder straps made from this fabric to be slippery. But the shoulder strap is quite long, adjustable on both sides of the padded portion, and about 1 1/2 inches wide. The padded portion is 10-12 inches long and is in the center of the overall strap, and is slightly curved; the padding is maybe 3/8" thick. I take a commuter train and two subways to work, and this works well for me. Hope this helps!

I never tried to carry it on my shoulder. Pulling it on wheels didn't work very well, so I ended up carrying the bag using the 2 shorter straps.

No, it does not have a shoulder strap. Even though the other answers say it would fit on your shoulder, that depends on your weight. I am full figured and while I could put it over my shoulder the top of the bag would be stuffed into my arm pit and I would never carry it that way. The handle is meant to carry in your hand or over your forearm.

I stand upright and pull the footlocker. The handle is in the center, so it is not a natural walk. I am 5' 11" so the footlocker tends to bump the back of my leg, so I have to splay my arm out a bit to compensate. If you are shorter it makes it easier. I have never used a strap, but it would be very easy to loop a strap through the handle.

I could not put it on by myself but part of that is because I have a stiff shoulder. If you have someone help you, especially to tighten it, then it might work. I, myself, could not do it alone. The small size was a part of the reason why. As for why some find it easy and others don't, I have no explanation.

I love my strap and I show it off as far as the number of extensions I have an F model and I had two extensions left over. I will try it out on my A model. It worked out OK. I am a average size person if some is larger they would need extra. To solve the problem just have L M S

Hi A220. You may find the Ergo a little large. There are quite a few adjustment options. The height of the connection between the shoulder straps can be adjusted (up and down the middle upper back). I found that I wished this would actually slide down lower.In terms of strap length - you could definitely tighten all around to suit your smaller frame. FYI I am 5'7" and around 145lbs. I would still recommend. I have read from other reviews of plenty of women 5'0" wearing them. Even after a long walk, I can feel tired carrying my little one. I think it's just the nature of carriers. Still far less if I had carried her for same distance � Hi A220. You may find the Ergo a little large. There are quite a few adjustment options.
