This is why we switched to backpack style bags for everyone but catchers....

Yeah...did that one[/B time and then I gave up. As a catcher, there's only so much crap she can fit in there with 3 bats and her catchers gear. When she can't fit anymore, then she decides to clean it out on her own
Your daughter must not be a catcher.
I think I filled a garbage bag once that was larger than her catcher's bag. I didn't realize that was possible.
While I was emptying out her bag, there were other items I took out. DD behind me kept saying, "Oh, there's where that went. I've been looking for it. I thought it was lost." Followed by giggles.

Can I ask why anyone would need 3 bats?

3 is ridiculous... 4 balance the bag much better!

Well sure 4 is better. Then again, how about 5? LOL.
Well, a wood bat to train with, an old bat from league that is too short, the regular bat that she likes, and her new bat that is just a little too big but you spent good money on it so its in the bag too.

IMO, the main drawback with the backpack style bags is their inability to hide bats. IME, DD's catcher's bag was the best place to hide bats to avoid DW's questioning. And what didn't fit in her bag was stashed in her old catchers bag I kept in my trunk. The key was to never have more than 2 or 3 bats out at once. I've slowly been finding good homes for the "extras" the last few years, but am not sure that full divestiture will ever be possible.
