The bag is a stylish red print, and has a slim design, so you don't feel like you're carrying a bulky bag around. It's actually perfect for quick trips, like a walk around the park, or a brief outing or errands, when you don't need a ton of supplies along. The all-in-one design makes it easy to carry a changing pad and bag together. The pad does detach from the bag, but I think it's just as easy to leave it on. It's water-resistant and padded, and there's room in the bag for several diapers and a tube of diaper rash cream. You can even tuck a bottle and burp cloth inside as well. I like this design. It's easy to carry but doesn't take up a lot of room in a stroller or hung over a chair while out to eat.
