I'm looking into one of these bags but I'm skeptical of ordering bags online. I like to "try them on" to see how comfy the strap is and gauge how much I can fit inside.
will my passporter fit in one of these? We usually bring a backpack but we're planning on taking less this time, no vid camera, no lunchbag with snacks, etc. I want to take my passporter, my cameras, extra film, batteries, a small first aid kit and sunscreen. I just don't know if all this will fit in one of these.
also, does this sit on your back or on your hip? is it possible to adjust the strap so it does fit further down on your side/hip (if it doesn't already).
Heres a copy of a post I recently wrote. ( I purchased one at the container store)
Purchased a baggallini messenger bag. I am so disappointed. Today I filled it with some of the stuff I will need and it is just too small. I am a Mom of two young boys 5 & 3-1/2. Dad is taking care of carring in his bag the camera & video (extra batteries & stuff) snacks and a few small items.
Things I need to carry & problems with bag.
change of cloths for ea boy-still potty training (undies, shorts, shirt - put in a ziploc bag)
travel wipes
sunscreen
extra socks (also in ziploc bag)
rain ponchos for me & one child (dad will carry the other)
Passporter, Tickets, maps, etc
my phone is too big for slot & wont zip all the way
too difficult to put a small water bottle in slot.
All these items made it very full & I didn't even put the small stuff in yet. (gum, cc cards, etc)
Is there another bag that someone could recommend??????????????????????
I would like something a little bigger, but not a full size backpack.
