Has anyone tried one of these mini backpacks as a diaper bag?

UPDATE: OK, I know its gauche to answer your own post, but I checked out the EB Mini Backpack (link above) today IRL. It is TINY!!!! There is a small (ie., my small wallet would NOT fit) zipper compartment at the front, and another small compartment secured by a strap and clicky thing, with elastic around the top behind that. Because of the elastic, you really couldn't use this for much -- maybe toys? The main zippered compartment is behind these two smaller compartments. It is surprisingly small. And I didn't like how the flap from the main part of the bag and the straps go over the zipper -- it would be very hard to get into if you were trying to do it with one hand at say a check-out. And, my last gripe is that the straps didn't have any padding at all -- just thin nylon.
I was quite disappointed in this bag, as I had such high hopes for it.
The search continues!
