Post pics of your bag you carry into park

I found Baggallini bags today at The Paper Store! No sales, but it was great to see the different styles and try them on. LOVE these bags in the crinkle nylon. The strap on the messenger bag wasn't rough against my neck at all. I think this will be a new collectible for me.

Off to order it! I'm getting it at Shoebuy like havinfun... $28.04 (free shipping!) for the black crinkle nylon (wish they had it in leaf, but I'll get that one for next time. )

I am so glad you saw the bag and liked it. I was just ordering it and had never seen it. Thanks for posting. You made me feel better about ordering this one.

Ok, I didn't need to see that bag ... love the holes for Jibbitz on it (would be perfect for my Disney Jibbitz). Must resist the urge to buy! Just googled the bag too and it looks like you can ge it from www.dickssportinggoods.com for $19.97. Wonder if I could justify buying it by telling DH that I knew he wouldn't want to carry my pink Heys Travel Mate?

FYI - I just wanted to let you know the bag is only $15.98 at dickssportinggoods.com. When you go to checkout they take 20% off. That may help you justify telling your DH even more

Thanks for that bit of info ... a blue one is on it's way to my house now.
There are more enablers on here then there are on the scrapbooking board I check in on.

That's exactly what I was thinking!

I just wanted to let everyone know that if the bag you decide on does not come with a shoulder pad - I am pretty sure you will need one. I have the Overland Donner and it definitely needed one!

I found the perfect one in the Walmart auto department - a seatbelt pad - they have lots of different ones and they are between $3 and $6! I bought a plain one and I am going to decorate with my small pin collection.

Just FYI because it made mine waaaay more comfortable to wear all day!

Thanks for that tip Kelley!

FYI...for anyone looking for a good deal on the baggallini messenger bags, there were two listed on eBay today - one ripstop fabric and one crinkle nylon, both black.

I am new to the site, but have used it a lot the last 6 months preparing for my upcoming trip on August 3rd staying at CBR and decided to join the posting when I felt I had something to offer. I have this great bag I use for hiking and day trips made by Mountainsmith. It is lightweight and has a lot of room. It also has the added benefit of being made from 25 recycled plastic bottles. It isn't cheap at $80.00, but if I can have a great bag and do my small part for the enviroment, then it was worth it!

You can get them at Mountainsmith .com, the bag is the in the lumbar recycled series called the Day recycled bag. It has a padded shoulder strap as well can be worn as a lumbar bag.

Very cool looking bag and love that it's made from recycled product! Here's a link...

Great tip. Thanks for posting. I like this board because we all help each other out. I like the idea a of decorating it.

My neighbor bought some Mickey material and made this bag for me. She sews for everyone around here and is quite ingenious.

 

[marvin12]

How cute is that . I bet she could sell them and make ton's of money

 

[iScrap]

Cute bag! What a nice neighbor you have! I really like that you have two water bottle pouches.

 

[Castle crazy]

The water bottle holders is a real must for me. I actually ordered that material on line to put a 2nd holder on another small bag we are using for the trip. When my neighbor showed me the material and said she was making me a bag and another neighbor a diaper bag I said, Oh wait, I've got bottle holder material coming that you can use. Both items turned out so cute. She's trying to find out if she can sell some at a craft fair without getting into any trouble. She said Disney is pretty funny about stuff like that. I figured since she bought the material and made her own pattern it wouldn't be a big deal. She's not mass producing or anything. She wasn't sure.
Anyway, the bag is so cute. Not too big, not heavy, has 2 pockets on the inside and best of all, no big deal if it gets wet - it's washable.

Well, thanks to all the good info here, I narrowed down my bag choice to 3: Baggallini Crinkle Messenger Bag, Piazza Day Bag, and Ameribag Metro New Yorker. I ordered them from EBags.com with the back-to-school discounts. Here's what I thought:

Baggallini - lots of pockets with many organizers inside, outside pocket for water bottle, roomy big pocket in the back. Comfortable on my shoulder. I liked it the best and will keep it. Only strange thing is that you have to wear it on your right shoulder with the bag on your left hip. I wanted to wear it on my right hip since I carry my purse on my right side. Just something to get used to. Can't wait to try it out in October.

Piazza Day Bag - very nice bag, but I thought it was too small for me. Several pockets and a comfortable fit. May try it next year when my boys are older and I can use a smaller bag. Returning.

Ameribag Metro NY - wonderful bag, excellent material and quality construction. I'm 5'4", and the bag sat too low below my hips. The buckle was on the shortest notch. Shoulder strap has some rubbery material that helps it cling better to your shoulder. A very big flap covered the front of the bag. It would bug me to constantly lift up the flap to get to my stuff. Returning.

Here is one that I purchased - it has straps to wear as a backpack or can be used with a long strap for tote style:

where did you get this bag at I love it

Anyone have line on a good site/price for the baggalini. I checked ebags but it is $45 now! I should have bought it back in the summer! I thought then it was around $20 something

Check out http://shoebuy. If you sign up for their newsletter, you get 10% off your first purchase. Plus it's free shipping to you and free shipping for returns. That's where I got mine from...which just arrived yesterday. Right now the bags are $38.95 for the crinkle nylon. If you have some time before your trip, you can wait and see if they go on sale again (I got mine a couple weeks ago for 20% off). I've also seen a couple on eBay for under $30 plus shipping.

HTH.

I'm a backpack girl. For our trip next week I bought this:

http://www.ebags.com/ameribag/spiral_backpack/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=92885

It's really small, though it looks bigger in the photo, but it will easily hold water, ponchos, camera, money, sunscreen, cell phone, etc. It has lots of pockets and will be my purse for the whole trip. I love it. It's just what I was looking for.

I just this one in after ordering from this post. It is the perfect size for us. I didn't like the baggelini. For me the bigger the bag the more I carry. THis bag has a few seperate pockets. Thanks for the suggestion. I cannot wait to use it!
