It never seemed like I had enough bags to keep things organized. That dilemma seems to have rubbed off on my daughter... she wants a bag for everything to keep things organized and at hand. This duffel bag is great as a tool bag in the car and the perfect size for small children to pack and carry as an over night bag to Grandmas house.
