THE CONS: 1) The fabric bag hangs over the edge of the platform and the wheels rubbed on it, causing it to wear a hole in it, so I had to duct tape it. I have to keep changing out the duct tape. I was unaware of this for a while. Also, it was always only on one side, no matter how much I put the heaviest items on the opposite side. A better design for this would be if the platform extended out over the wheels. 2) The little black things you see on the front stand area (where no wheels are present) kept coming off. They're just snapped into a very shallow hole in the metal. I reattached them a few times and then I lost first one, and then the other. I didn't notice when either of them came off, so I had to rig it. I duct-tape a piece of foam that's much like the type used in pool noodles onto the pole. 3) It looks like my last pic may not have come out well. I can't look at it full-sized until I'm done posting this. As I type this, though, it looks like the area I'm trying to show has wavy lines. Anyway, it came unstitched & I had to stitch it again. I used heavy-duty, waxed thread, so it's held up. This is the flap that loops over the first crossbar, holding it down on top with velcro at the back...so it's very important. I'm hoping the velcro holds up! 4) This didn't bother me much: Several of the metal grommets that cover the holes which the drawstring-type cord loops through have just simply ripped loose. They're still on the cord, of course. They just move around freely on it, if you understand. This doesn't affect its use right now, but the holes may eventually rip open more. 5) It IS NOT weatherproof as they say. Everything in the main compartment gets wet, as does anything in the top flap pocket. 6) I don't know why they say there are 7 compartments. Even if they count the large main bag as a "compartment", there are 6. THE PROS: 1) I bought this in January 2020 for about $42.00 (which includes taxes), and I'm still using it, so I guess I got my money's worth. (although the hole under the bag from the wheel started pretty early on) 2) I mostly use this to get some groceries home from the store on the bus. It's narrow enough to stay out of the aisle where people need to get past me when I'm sitting at the front of the bus on the sideways-facing seats. It can also fit behind a forward-facing seat if it's not stuffed too much. So, that's a plus...since I don't like to be in the way of people and also because the front sideways seats are to be offered to the elderly and the disabled. I honor that. in addition, at the front is where the sideways seats and the first forward-facing seat next to it, are put up to make room for a wheelchair to be strapped in. So, it's nice that this can fit behind the other seats. 3) When lighter items are loaded inside on the top, the drawstring can hold them in. 4) I like the higher side pocket for carrying a compact umbrella. (I rarely use the net pocket on the opposite side as I think it's too short and the top is rather loose. It won't snap tight to the bag for keeping anything secure) 5) I like carrying my house key, bus pass, and cell phone in the pocket located on the top flap. Very convenient. 6) The pocket on the back is only used for thin things like paper because it's extremely tight to the bag. This "compartment" is more like a slit with a zipper. Well, that's about it. I hope this helped someone. I also hope the manufacturer sees this review and fixes the things that need to be addressed.
