Just received this item, tried it out and it's going back. It does not work as advertised. I hung my fairly large and heavy diaper bag on it and the hook just kept sliding down the strap. Ok, maybe this bag is too heavy (the package reads "will hold purse up to 8 lbs"). So I tried two other bags (medium size, empty) and both slid down the strap until they hit the carpet. If the only light weight item this hanger will hold is an evening bag what's the point? I will keep looking for a different solution.
