The good side of this pouch is that it's soft and flexible so it doesn't get in the way when your folding the stroller up. The bad side is that it doesn't hold drinks to well in the little drink holders on top. Bottle drinks are OK if they're not too big. Cup drinks will actually work but can easily flip over or get smashed, making a wet mess. All in all, it was worth buying, it's very handy to have some extra space on the back of this stroller for carrying extra items.

Initially I was annoyed that it didn't come with a cup holder that held my large drinks as most reviewers, but this organizer has become my best friend. I have Maclaren XLR and the bottom basket is completely not accessible when the seat is reclined. I have put everything in this organizer that I need frequent access to and it has even replaced my diaper bag. I have his diapers, extra set of clothes, wipies, small toys, binky, etc and I use the top small pocket for my cell phone and keys. The cup holders are great for his formula bottles and a small cup of coffee for me(not filled too high since it can spill all over the stuff but this is the case with any cup holder). I did purchase separate cup holder for my husband's big drink cups and one of the mountain climber clips to hang groceries and my Sigg water bottle. All in all, this has been a lifesaver and saved me from throwing a fit every time I tried to get something out of the bottom basket.

The organizer works wonderful, it attaches to the stroller easily and folds away for storage. We bought the organizer for a vacation so we didn't have to carry a diaper bag, it fit the essentials and a few extra items.

I really wanted to love this product, but I have to say I've only used it a couple times. It just isn't as practical as it looks. It's nice to have the cup holders, but they only fit bottled beverages. The netted portion is REALLY deep, making it very difficult to get items out of it.

I love this item. I ordered it after seing another mom pushing a stroller with one of these on it. It fits my Chicco stroller perfectly, and holds anything extra that I need. It also came in really handy while on a trip to Seaworld. We were able to bring a lightweight stroller and store all our extras in this!

This is a handy little addition. We bought it for extra storage on our travel stroller, the volo. It is nice for skipping through a terminal and will fold off the stroller nicely. The cup holders are only for small water bottles and I would not recommend it for coffee or anything hot or without a screw lid since it is not that secure or rigid enough. But, it has a handy small pocket for keys or money for easy access. The larger is nice, I always kept a boo-boo kit and change of clothes with the velcro closure-I could keep it in there when I wasn't using it.

Overall, I really like it! We have had it for over two years without any problems. People often ask me about it, one person bought on for their wheelchair! It is worth it and okay it is not a great drink holder-it is a useful product with durability. I wound and do recommend it to anyone considering extra storage for their stroller especially an umbrella stroller!

When I initially bought this item I also thought it was meant to be a cup holder, however its not. The two drink holders are for bottles. Most sippy cups don't even fit. Its a good idea, but I always kept my son's bottles in an insulated pack with ice since they held milk, so I can't say we've ever used them.

The other storage usage is very helpful. Its very easy to throw extra diapers and a wipes case in the large section. We were overseas for some time, and I also used it to carry groceries home since we didn't have car.

I'm glad I purchased this product.

Like others have said, this organizer is great because it is flexible. This means it can be left attached when folding up the stroller, and doesn't get in the way when carrying or storing a closed stroller. However it is very poorly designed. The cup holders are so floppy, most drinks (and sippy cups) flip over in them. The cupholders are also very narrow so only small drinks (maybe a can of soda) would work - we have had no luck with grande-sized cold drinks or bottled drinks. The middle compartment is so small, I hardly feel comfortable placing my cell phone in there. The large mesh pocket is a great size, but the velcro closure on top is so darn sticky, it's impossible to open with one hand. I am glad I have this organizer since my Maclaren Volo is bare bones, but I often find I mainly use it to hang things off of (hang a sippy off the edge of the top, throw a sweatshirt over it), rather than items inside it.

It is nice, light-weight, and durable, but you can't put a drink from a restaurant in it. It's way to flimsy for that. That's why you only see bottles in the pictures. Other than that, no complaints.

This is an OK item wtih some limited functionality. The cup holders, as noted, are small and only really fit the *slender* water bottles. Forget about trying to jam that 20oz Diet Pepse yor brought along. The pack that holds all your junk is great. I usually tosst the keys, cell phone and anything else I might have on me in there. Between this and nothing really else offered by the company, this is OK and usalbe, however we still got some of the plastic cup holder's to attach by the rider for the sippy.
