baggallini Women's Large Carryall Weekender Tote Bag with Crossbody Strap

I got this for a plane trip I was doing solo with my toddler. I wanted to be able to combine things from her diaper bag alone with my stuff to reduce the number of bags. This worked perfectly. Enough space for a portable changing pad, small blanket, iPad, a couple books. An interior pocket for valuables and lots of exterior pockets. Also two interior pockets for a water bottle to keep it upright. Two additional features that made this ideal for travel: a luggage sleeve and a crossbody strap.

I have the 2-wheel underseat carrier and wanted something to go with it for traveling. This is perfect. It fits on top of it perfectly and holds so much. Plus the side pockets are great. I used one for my water bottle and the other for my sandels.

There were no pictures of this bag on a mannequin or a real person on any website that I could use to tell exactly what I was getting before I purchased. It's nice, of course!! Purchased in the Quilted Black, which is a nice play on the Polyester. But here's my thinking. If you are packing for a Whole weekend, then this is a Perfect size bag for that. If you are a light packer or just packing for a quick Overnight, I'd go with the Medium Carryall. What do I like about it? Versatility of ways to carry it; it's pliable; the front pockets will fit a pair of sandals or flats each, but for tennis shoes, one shoe per pouch; it opens wide enough to see into, with a light grey/taupe interior; no more cramming for me. I can actually fold or roll my clothing and see them in this bag; the bottom of the bag is flat and has a hard enough bottom, so it can possibly sit upright depending on how you pack it. It's not the sexiest bag, meaning figure flattering, but I think it will look better the more I put in it. I like it crossbody or shoulder strapped. I just got it today and have been playing around with it, and as I use it, I'll like the size of it more. I can fit my large tumbler in one of the outside pockets, too. To clarify for others one of the questions I was having about it: It measures 16 inches long at the very bottom and then wedges upwards to barely over 21 inches long for most of the bag. I don't really consider it a sporty bag, but it is a travel bag to my mind; a Weekender Tote, which is actually what I was looking for. There is also a little ring inside that you could clip something else to. As always with Baggallini, the zippers are smooth, the construction well-done, the hardware is great and has a gunmetal sheen to it on this color option. The more I list it's positives, the happier I am with it. Let's just say, I will NOT be returning it!!

It was great size as an extra bag for my travels! I took it as a carry on and used it for a second bag on my return.

I own about 12 Baggalinis of various sizes and shapes and they never disappoint. This one is a great size for travel, shopping of all types and kinds, and not too many pockets allow for visibility without having to unzip everywhere for those of us who may forget where things are! Many products easily fir into this one also so you carry only one.
