Is this bag sturdier then reusable grocery totes? Any inside pockets?

No inside pockets, only one small one on the outside. I have 3 of this brand grocery totes and they are all made from the same materials. Sturdy, easy to keep clean. I like the open totes better for groceries. I use the ones with zippers for a swimming tote, or when traveling. I love them all and get interesting comments when taking them grocery shopping!

Probably stronger. It is made out of recycled grain bags and those are very sturdy. There isn't a pocket on the inside, but there is one on the outside although it doesn't have a closure.

That depends on the grocery tote. I have some that are far sturdier than this tote, but others that are much more flimsy. There are no inside pockets, and the one outside pocket has no gussets, so it's flush with the bag, making it suitable for a cell phone, or some other flat item. But the tote, as is, is sturdy, roomy, and well-made. And I love the big zipper, which closes the bag to protect the contents.

No, it is not sturdier. There are no inside pockets. I'm going to use my bag for the beach.

Yes. I've had 3 paper grocery bags easily, inside on the floor. More not so easily. There is a little room behind the seat if the seat is forward. I have had more fun riding in my little "car", and the freedom it has given me. Hope this helps you with your decision.

It's large enough for my school books and binders. I have never put grocery bags in it.

Yes, it is. It is about the size of a small beach tote. To give you an idea, I carry two 32 oz bottles of water, lunch, cosmetic bag, two fold-up grocery bag, and snacks and I still have room. I sewed a pocket on one side to carry my file folders, phone charger, pens, & sunglasses. I love this bag. So, it is big enough to take to the grocery store for dinner. I only use it on my shoulder when it is raining so my contents stay dry. Oh yea! It is made of a tough canvas! This won't tear easily.

Yes, you can even use the common grocery bag. It doesn't look the prettiest, because the handles will peek out from the sides, but it's still functional. The bin itself can take a bag about twice as big as your standard grocery bag, but I didn't care to buy a whole box of bags since it takes me about a month just to fill the grocery bags.

I have had this bag for about 8 months and use them weekly to haul groceries. I have had them loaded down quite heavily and had no problems with the zippers or any other part of the item.

Yes, it does! One of the things I love about it! This is a tote bag NOT a handbag as many people seem to think! So, I think you will be happy with it!

Hello. Thanks for your question. No, the bag doesn't fold enough to be carried in a tote bag; It remains the same height. (Please see the item listing for the proportions.) The only "folding" involves pulling up the bottom front of the frame to tuck the wheels and bag UP to flatten the cart a little, but the wheels don't tuck "in." It's perfect for my purposes; it holds my sewing supplies between and during quilting classes, and stands alone, but it doesn't sound as if it would suit your needs. I'm sorry.

It doesn't have any pockets inside.Love these bags btw! It's very light weight, water resistant. You can't wash them b/c I think it would tear the bag up since it's like burlap on the outside. Just wipes clean on the inside. I bought them for my bridesmaids and put their names on them.

Yes. There is a sturdy piece of plastic on the bottom. I have the open tote for my computer and other daily things. Since September of last year, I have used it every work day, and it is still going strong. And this closed version is likewise sturdy. I have killed other purses in two weeks with my purse stuff and my work stuff. At last I have found something which gives back (Nature Conservatory), which is just right and durable, and which is recycled plastics. Can't say enough about these products. Also the zipper pouches organize my purse in a super cool way! So, yes, there is a durable plastic piece in the bottom of these that keeps things sorted out. Yes.

Yes. Very roomy and has lots of pockets. I carry mine every day, and it's holding up well to the continuous use.

Yes. It is very sturdy. But probably for elementary school. It's not very big but just right for an elementary school kid. The previous bags I got only lasted one school year but this one is like new after one year.

It's not Longaberger sturdy, but close. I throw in 2 16 oz water bottles, keys, camera, wallet and it handles those items just fine. It would hold a small bag of groceries for you - a little picnic lunch would fit and carry well in it too.

there is a sturdy board underneath the bag. the bag is very well designed and great quality and good location of pockets. I have been using mine for over 1 year, and it has yet to fray or have zipper problems

I am unsure since I haven't wash mine a single time in the washing machine. But I doubt it'll break. It seems sturdy even though it feels super light. I think it'll be fine as long as there isn't something sharpy that can tear such bag during the washing...

I use grocery bag for this and fit perfect. You can wash off easy and has hole in the back middle will not hold water. I've been using this almost year so far no issue.

They are so stong you can. They are the best bag my daughter borrows ours and people take the bag name and are going to order it . LOVE IT !!! And with all the other isulated bags we have that would break if you carried it by the handels, this one you can use the handles to carry your groceries into the house.
