HI! I just received a PP Bottom Bam Bam Boxy backpack after I read a lot of positive reviews of it, so I ended up requesting it from my sister but I received it today and it is HUGE! I already had an Eddie Bauer backpack (BRU), and I love the print of the fabric, so I am wondering if I should exchange it for a toddler tote.(those are so cute! All of this offends my sense of value, but they are so pretty! I don't want my sister to be hurt, even though it was just something I picked out and sent her a link to. The problems I have with the backpack are that
a.)It doesn't seem practical, and it is so large, and
b.)I already have a backpack, and
c.)it is not really waterproof feeling on the inside and
d.) It only has one large pocket in the middle.
I got this thinking it would repalce my purse, and everything does fit in it once I stuff it, but I would never carry this anywhere I don't think, in comparison to a toddler tote. Does anyone have the tote, and can it be worn over the shoulder? Will I get used to the size of the backpack? I sling my daughter a lot, so a backpack is nice, but as I said, I do have the EB one. I am only 5 feet, so maybe that is a problem! I would love some advice as I need to return it ASAP if I am going to!
Thanks so much for any input! (and thanks Emmiem, I did get the message that you liked the toddler tote!)
