can this be used as a backpack vs wearing it on the front?

I suppose you could. The top closes ( not completely) with a draw string. I like to keep an eye on my little one as she tries to get out sometimes. The straps are padded and there is a waist strap.

I just tried it on as a back pack and it seems like it would work just fine. the waist strap buckled just fine and the shoulder straps felt good as well.

Yes, but I wouldn't feel as comfortable not having my little guy in front of me. You could use it either way.

I LOVE this as a computer bag, but don't use it for clothes. There is a large front pocket where you could fit a shirt and pants - not flat, but wouldn't hold a business suit.

Yes you can, with the top flap open theres a divider that segragates the lower bottom compartment. That divider has velcro that secures it the the back. What i do is undo the velcro and slip my laptop there which is then flat against ur back.Btw i love this backpack cause i can fit my nikon d5100 and 2 lenses, laptop and have the upper compartment free for whatever and all the little exterior pockets.Hope this helps.

Yes, but very closely and probably uncomfortably for the birds. And NO, you cannot carry this as a back pack. You can however, push it toward your back using the shoulder strap. Hope this answer helps.

Its design to be carried on the back, but you can carry it on the front if you want.

Could be, but much better as a backpack. Straps are sewn to the bag and not removable. In backpack mode it works great when exercising, or when you need both hands like grocery shopping.

I've only used it minimally as a backpack, but totally understand your concern. I did not notice any movement...however, I had the main compartment packed pretty fully. I do wish it had a hip-belt and/or chest strap to secure it closer to my body. I do love the wheel cover feature for carrying as a backpack...great idea! I hope this helps.

I'm sorry but I can't tell you which one for sure would work best for you but given the rest of the things you will be carrying I'm thinking the backpack would make more sense.

I think that would be very difficult since it's designed just like a regular backpack, with the straps that go over each shoulder. Also it would be very bulky & seeing over the top of it could be a problem.

Yes you can, be sure to bungee it down. The slot on the back makes it very EZ. Enjoy your bag.

Should be enough room, but I don't think it would be durable if use as a Laptop backpack

Hi Paula, yes. I find it comfortable when I wear it as a backpack. I try not to overstuff it (hard to do when your a first time mom and have all that space) and I wear it on top of my ergo carrier straps. I use it daily. My husband at times has complained that it is a bit heavy and uncomfortable, but that's when I over stuff it. The backpack straps would benefits from a little more padding. But I truly love my diaper bag. People are always complementing me on it. I have a natural colored ergo that matches and people always think it is a combo deal.

The back portion of the case is lined on the inside with hard plastic, but the front is just the material alone. Which is the typical backpack material. It may resist some light rain for a short time, but I wouldn't count on it withstanding some hard rain. I know my son has walked home in some light drizzle with it and it didn't hurt it.

I've been using mine as a cross-body or shoulder bag, I don't see where it can convert into a backpack. I really like it though, it's very durable. I use it as an everyday bag by removing the insert.

Yes I think you could. This poncho is very capacious. A little heavy for lightweight backpacking, I would think though.

It might not be a good idea. It looks cool. But having a military style pack at a school might raise some concerns. It doesn't really have enough pockets, I feel, for a school pack. But its comfortable to wear even when its loaded so go for it.

Depends on how much stuff is in it and your style. People usually wear across back because it's not a purse and can bike with it on that way but whatever suits you works.
