Well, on the advice of many of you Disers I got a Baggallini messenger bag for Christmas, I was a little skeptical when I got it and tried it on, you see I'm pooh sized and I just wasn't sure about the strap across the chest. I also got my oldest DD one for Christmas. Well, she and I went to Washington DC last week with her 5th grade class and we both LOVED our Baggallinis!!!!! You can carry so much in them and it was very comfortable even for me!!! So if any of you are considering one I highly recommend them!!
