Can this also be used as an everyday purse? The crossbag i currently have is just way too small. I need something for on the go, but nothing too big.

Hi, yes you could use this a a purse as well, but I am not sure how much you normally carry. We have had many happy customers who buy this for the mom who just has a few errands but doesn't want to carry both a full diaper bag and purse! I would say you could use it as both, but the bag would not stretch to be very wide, I would say the width on the bottom is about 1 inch. Please let me know if you have any further questions!

I think it depends on what you'd carry in a purse. Without any diapers in it I bet you could easily fit a large wallet, keys, hairbrush, phone, some miscellaneous items too. Anything beyond that would likely push it. I saw one at Babies R Us so if you have one nearby you might head over just to get a good sense of the size.

I suppose it could be an insert into a handbag if the handbag was large enough ... like a tote bag. I don't think it would be very useful as a handbag insert though because it would be difficult to reach the side pockets.

Yes it can. I use it as an overnight bag. Fitting shoes, makeup bag and clothing. It's expandable too! Love this bag. You can also get the matching side bags :)

My wife and Me agree this is a quality purse but does not lend itself to easy access to your firearm. Also it will only comfortably accomodate fairly small pistols. The main thing we discovered is this: If you want a purse for conceal carry, get one that has a cross body strap. You don't have to struggle trying to hold your purse and retrieve your weapon at the same time. Also they are harder for a thief to grab your purse since it is around your neck. Hope this info. helps as it just our opinion. HAGD

If I was to guess, it's about 9 in wide, 4 in deep, and 6 inches tall. I tried to put my flat iron (it's probably about 12 in.) in there and even turned it diagonally, but with that and my makeup in there it just wouldn't work. A small curling iron or travel sized one would work if you're trying to carry that and makeup. If it's just for hair stuff, you might be able to play Tetris and get your stuff to fit. :D And I agree, it really is a great little bag. I use it for makeup and brushes after I condensed down my big metal Caboodle and it definitely does the trick!

You know. it doesn't look that big so i will say YES! I've been traveling for a while. and the size is smaller than normal carry on luggage. I would recommend you put it on the overhead bin though. I wouldn't count on it as a "purse" type. I've been hiking with it. and i love it so far~ ^^ I hope that helps

My guy friend had this bag before I bought it. It doesn't look like a purse more like a messenger bag type. My boyfriend carries the bag when I am not and it looks fine, again not purse like.

I've been using mine as a cross-body or shoulder bag, I don't see where it can convert into a backpack. I really like it though, it's very durable. I use it as an everyday bag by removing the insert.

absolutely. there are d-rings attatched to swivel hooks that enable this to be worn messenger style cross body or over the shoulder. it comes w/ a messenger strap, backpack straps and its got a great little grab strap at the top of the bag as well. also, the messenger strap that comes w the bag is adjustable so you can make it suit your needs. (i.e. hubby wears your bag or you change back and forth from cross body)

I've taken it on an airplane many times as a personal item. No questions asked. Just don't take a purse. Put the purse IN the backpack. In other words, you can have a carry on AND this backpack, no problems :-)

This bag is actually on the small side , we use it as the grandparent bag. My grandsons mommy uses a much larger bag. It is however quite adequate for travel and daily use.

Good question. The picture is exactly what it looks like. The width would be fine. The two bottom straps will hold well. However, the strap on the front is designed to wrap around "something" (post) so that it doesn't slide. Also, for use up front, you may have to turn it around so the front of the bag is actually facing the post, then attach it to something. As far as ease getting into the bag, there are two zippers going around the top. They can either meet at the top/front, anywhere around the top, or you can zip one side all of the way around. So getting into the bag will not be an issue, and it holds a lot (define "a lot") besides the phone. It does not stretch, however, so what you put in it has to be fairly exact in size....Good riding............Terry

I don't know about a purse, you set it down so often. A waist pack would be better, or clipped to a soft strap worn under your clothes. HTH

The bag is beautiful however for my lifestyle, I found it far too bulky and too big to use on a day to day basis. I now use the accessories that came with it with my regular medium sized bags on a day to day basis as to diaper bags.

I would say if it isn't packed full it could fit on your shoulder but it is snug up in your armpit, not uncomfortably but more snug than a purse would be. It's really meant more to be carried by hand or in the crook of your elbow

If fits in a bag - not a purse. I use it (though it is heavy) (and bag´s big!)

Frank, I have used this purse consistently since buying it over a year ago. I'd be happy to answer your question but am not quite sure if I understand your question. Could you explain a little more what you're trying to find out?
