when my daughter was less than one year old, i used this back pack almost everyday!!! it was so nice to have hands-free bag, i never had to leave this on the stroller either.....(my daughter never liked it and i always had to hold her on one arm and push it on the other...!) since she was being nursed, i never had to carry milk....so i had very little stuff to carry for her.
now that she is little bit older and run around all over the place, i def recommend shoulder bag, but BH isn't my fav even though i have it...... i used Manhattan PM alot, i can wear it on my shoulder when i really needed --- i've been using my Le Fab.....i'm so worried that someday i might hurt her with this ''hard'' bag ---- it comes down on my shouder so hard when i try to peel her off of floor anywhere (we just came back from mall, she wanted to ran away from me and lay down everywhere! early sign of terrible 2s...! HELP!!! lol)
saumur is pretty good, i used it for a while, one side for me and one side for her......
what about cabas mezzo or chelsea?!!!
if you have a time, please check out my "eye candy" thred, there are some ref pics of shoulder bags --- you might find something else you like...!
