Baggallini sling backpack, What do you have?

[tnmom25]

I switched to the baggallini messenger as my new diaper bag. I've been using it for over a week now and I still love it. I thought it would be a pain to put over my head to wear as a backpack, but it's not at all. There are two things I'm not thrilled about:
1) I was used to having only two pockets in my old diaper bag that were super easy to get to. These pockets require more work to get to, not a real problem, unless you're in a hurry.
2) My other diaper bag had a shoulder strap along with two smaller handles that made it easy to grab. The baggallini does not have the smaller handles, but I'm getting used to it. Also, it doesn't hold as much stuff as the old one, which works out fine... I just weeded out the junk that I really didn't need anyway!!!

My overall rating...

Well I finally did it!!!! YAHOOO!!!
I ordered my bagallini today. I was torn as what colour. Purple, pink or periwinkle. I went with the pink. I hope it comes soon. Thanks again for all your input.

Just to let you know I received my baggallini yesterday!!!Yahooo!!! I love it. I got the pink. My husband would never carry it even if it was black.
Thanks for your help!!

I got mine yesterday too. It looks perfect! Especially since DD#1 decided she liked it so much SHE wants one for Disney. Won't fit the other girls, so they'll have to get backpacks (can't find fannypacks to fit their super skinny waists) But found some cute Disney Mini-backpacks at Walmart for them)

DH even likes it and is considering having me get one for him (he refuses to carry the turquoise one I got...Not manly enough for my Marine )

65 more day until I can try it out in Disney.

The only thing that disappointed me was how small the spot for the water bottle is. It doesn't fit any of my reusable bottles, only the store-bought-bottled-water size.

The bag is great to use as a diaper bag and is still not too big for when I just need a purse - I can just take the diapers and wipes out!

I got purple knowing the same info on my husband! Plus, would I really want him to touch MY bagallini?

I stuck a portable umbrella in the water bottle pocket and it has stretched it out some. So, I bet if you managed to get a bottle in there the size you need, it would eventually stretch it to that size. I didn't stretch it on purpose, it just happened. I always carry a tiny umbrella in the diaper bag, but I guess now my water bottle will fit when I need it to!!
