I bought this for my younger son (5 1/2) for tee ball. I thought he'd like to have his own bag since his older (10 1/2 year old) brother has his own bag. I love the fact that it's small and compact in size for my little guy to carry on his own, but it's not as easy to "use" at a traditional bat bag. The area where the bat fits is a little difficult to use. The bat fits very snugly and then is attached with velcro. My son has little patience for the velcro so Mom & Dad usually end of doing this ourselves :(. The other disadvantage to this type of bag is the fact that the bat handle sticks out. We really have to watch our son around cars!!! Overall it serves its purpose and wasn't a bad deal at $[...]. 3 stars
