Baggallini sling backpack, What do you have?

[neonurse]

I have heard on DIS many people talking about baggallini sling or messanger bags (type of backpacks). I am interested in what you have and what name. I don't know where to start. Last year I was the pack mule with a backpack which I hardly ever had over both my shoulders...bad for the neck & back. The reason I bought the backpack was because it had Mickey on it. I am looking for something back friendly and I am NOT going to pack EVERYTHING but the kitchen sink this time. I am grateful for your suggestions.

This is the one I have, in red. My dh bought it locally for me for Christmas. It was perfect for the parks. I kept our keys/tickets/photopass/fastpasses in the pocket in the strap. The main part was big enough for a few snacks, wipes, three autographs books and a change of clothes for my son. I liked the slots on the side for my cellphone and a bottle of water too.

I have that bag as well in turquise. I love it for the parks. I now take it every trip.

I have the same bag as the other 2 but in black. I bought it at my local AAA office. As a matter of fact I liked it so much I'm still using it as my purse since my last trip in Oct. !

Thanks so much to you all. I was looking at that bag and wondering if that was what everyone is talking about. I'm going to buy one too!!

Thanks to my friends on DIS!!!!

I have the same in turquoise. I loved it. My best friend just borrowed it for her Disney trip and loved it also. I could pack a bunch of stuff in it. It is much roomier than it looks. I got mine from ebags.com.

Just received my black one from www.shoebuy.com
Obviously, I haven't used it yet in the parks, but I
have filled it up with some items and carried it around
the house. So far, I love it and it's the perfect size.
I will be using it for a digital camera, some snacks,
a water bottle, 3 disposable ponchos and a change of
clothes DD. All that will fit with room to spare.

Where did you find your $10 off code? The only one I could find (WNTRSALE07) only works on sale items, not these bags.
thanks

I think on the mousesavers.com I saw a link to ebags.com and you got a discount. I'm not sure if its a better deal or not than the $10 coupon for using the google check out. I will be looking into it. Thanks again to everyone for their comments.

 

[abookworm]

aha, just found the code: save10 for $10 off and it was a better deal than ebags.
Just ordered the olive green for my trip in 26 days! yippee!

What is the best material for this bag? One is crinkle?? Is one lighter than the other or more durable???
HELP!!!

Many Thanks for posting on this, I have been trying to figure out what to use for our upcoming trip, My back was killing me with the backpack last year , so this will make things so much easier
Plus, I ordered from shoebuy which I typically get overnight so I should be all set for my trip late next week...

Between the advice of getting crocs and now this I am set to enjoy my trip for sure this year

 

[bar1jp]

all of you who ordered shoebuy I now see its a better deal, a dollar less and my shipping was free at ebags but it wont be here till feb 14, nice vday gift but longer than shoebuy.

I don't have my bag yet but I know the rip stop nylon is a bit lighter weight and a "slipperier" feel which is why I got the crinkly nylon-it will slide a little less if it's like another bag I have with the same material.
I read 2 reviews that said the rip stop tended to slip off the shoulder which has been my experience as well with the slippery type fabric.

I'd assume the crinkle nylon is a bit heavier duty so may be slightly more durable but I think both materials are good quality.

I really want to order one but I looked into it and because I live in Canada it will end up costing me $42 for the ripstop. I am torn because I think it would be great and I have heard so many great things about this bag. I went to the baggallini and looked up to see where they sell it in Ontario and they listed several stores but I called them all and none of them carry them anymore. What should I do???? It makes me sick to think that if I lived one hour away on the other side of the border I could have it for $21. Is there some store in Orlando area where I could purchase it when I get to florida??

As always thanks for you input.

So do you have a friend in the US that you could have it sent to for the $21 then they could mail it you for maybe $8 or so...$30 is still better than $42
just an idea

Thanks, I think I am just going to order it. I want the crinkle material and they have it on shoebuy.com. WIth the $10 coupon and $15 paypal promotion on right now it won't be that bad (even though the rip stop is cheaper I heard that the crinkle is stronger and holds its shape better... for $7 more, might as well) Its funny I don't have this kind of trouble spending money on the kids for clothes and Christmas stuff...why is it so hard to spend money on me???? I,m doing it!!!
