Melissa...
Inside: on the one side there is a zipper pocket...on each of the ends, there are netting pockets (you could fit bottles into there so they don't fall over) and on the other big side there are two pockets. The diaper changing pad is basically folded in half and put into the "main" compartment.
On the outside, there is one large pocket that is velcro'd to close.
It is made out of a heavy duty cloth fabric. (Think sailboat material?)
