We have about 4 or 5 of these now in different sizes. Great for hauling beach towels, stuff to sporting events, whatever. We use them constantly. We also like the waterproof hunting tote. We don't hunt, but it's great for going to sporting events in the rain.
Even with an elevator, hauling groceries, especially from those bulk food warehouse stores, can be real work. I have easily loaded 50-60# of bulky food and beverage items into the XL zip-top tote, reducing several trips up and down an elevator to just one. The zip-top is great for fitting in a few extra items on top, as well as keeping the bag closed and its contents secure. This tote works great as a laundry basket/carrier also.
These bags are great as a new baby gift. I buy them for all of our friends and family and have gotten the small with long handles and medium with long handles too. Small bags are great for toys and bottles and the medium size are great overnight bags. I have four...one small and one medium for my 2 year old and 4 month old. Best bag ever and so cute to get monogrammed with the little one's name on it.
