Favorite bag to take to parks?

[momof2forever]

Does anyone have any suggestions on a nice favorite bag to take to the park each day?

I have a Overland that I used one year and it was great, but I am looking at a Baggallini.

The Overland is over the shoulder/head bag and teh Baggallii is for the side.

Any suggestions would be great.

I use my baggalini sling bag and it is just perfect.

I thought I would like a back pack for the parks, nothing to slip off my shoulder. I ended up only using it on the day I needed to bring extra layers. It was awkward to take off for the rides and to get anything out of it.

What worked well for me was the LL Bean Touring Travel Bag, regular size. Most of the time I wore the strap across my chest. The outer pockets fit things I needed immediate access to - camera, sunglasses, ticket. The big main pocket held snacks and plastic rain poncho. There is also an outside water bottle pocket.

It also works well as an every day purse. Seems silly to have a bag "just for the parks".


I also looked at Sling bags - like a one shouldered back pack. Not good as they can not be transerred from one shoulder to another to give each shoulder a break. There might be a simialr problem with the baggallini Messenger Bagg.

Abover all - Do NOT pack too much stuff!!!

I got to thinking I dont' know if I would like the one shoulder bag. I think I would rather have something like the Overland bag that can go on shoulder or over head and across.

I prefer a backpack. TMI ALERT! I am .....ummmm "busty" and I find the strap that crosses over your chest to be very uncomfortable. This is the backpack I use:

I like the extra pockets. One for KTW, one for small frequently used things like chap stick and handy wipes, and the big compartment holds a lot (sweatshirts, diapers, wipes, bottles and snacks)
