I like the look of some of the above too however in the end, could not make a decision, and have decided that I will make do with one of my many, many other bags. I could not justify the cost in the end when I have so many other multi purpose bags here.

However...

Things I took into consideration:

- I do not drive. So any bag I use must be comfy enough to drag around all day.
- I must be able to get to it's contents easily
- I must be able to take it off when on the bus
- Must be able to walk with it (so considered a backpack)
- Must be able to wear sling/carrier with it becuase I am not keen on the idea of taking a big pram on public transport.

So maybe think over a few of the pros and cons of your favourite brands and see hpw theymeasure up for functionality?

In the end I guess it's not logical to have a bag that looks nice but isn't very useable.
