You ladies are so right about the weight! Holy moly is she heavy, thankfully I am a light packer because I'm not sure my shoulder could take much more lol I do love this bag regardless, I just will not be taking her on long day trips ever again. I ended up mini golfing with my kids with this bag and boy was that misery!!! I used the longer strap cross body to try and keep her out of the way, no such luck and that long strap is about as uncomfortable as they get! Good thing she is so pretty, makes her worth the shoulder ache
