This bag is COOL! Designed with a sling type strap, the Slide takes the weight of everything you can shove in your bag, off your shoulders and evenly distributes it across your back. Now these are marketed as diaper bags, but there is nothing "diapery" about them, and would make a nice travel carryon bag or to carry your library books, or just about anything else you deem worthy of carrying around with you. Depending on how much you are likely to spend on a bag, it could be affordable or pricey at $95.00. (To me being the cheapie that I am, I think it's a bit spendy). In any case though Go Gaga the makers of this bag are giving one away at Work at Home Mom blog, so if you don't want to spend $95.00 on one, you could at least try and win one!
