BaggalliniAnti-Theft Daytripper Sling 7x12 Crossbody Travel Safe Bag W/Securtex Locking Zippers, Slash-Resistant & RFID

Great size w/ lots of security from a good quality bag company. The photo with the size is wrong. This bag is not 7 in High by 5 and 1/4 wide, it is actually 13 inches high by 8 in wide. But this was the size I was looking for. The biggest difference between this one and the Central Park sling, although they are similar size, this one has more security and has the double zippers that either you could lock together with a mini padlock or clip them on the D-rings provided so that people can't unzip your bag easily. I have owned several Baggallini bags over the years and they never disappoint, are very well made, durable & last a long time. I purchased the charcoal color because it was slightly less expensive and it's a nice neutral color. The bag is comfortable to wear and it's nice because you can wear it on either side and also flip it around to your back if you desire. The first smaller zipper section has a soft pocket on the inside for either a small phone or some sunglasses or something else. I can tell you that the front smaller first pocket that zippers is not deep enough to hold my Samsung S24 Ultra phone, I need to use the second larger compartment for that size phone. There are 3 RFID slots in the 2nd compartment. The second compartment also has a leash with a clip for a key and a zippered interior pocket. The third compartment that zippers is on the back side of the bag and is a nice secure spot to hold flat documents like passports or money Etc. Not sure yet if I will be keeping this bag since my phone does not fit in the front zippered compartment, but that would be the only reason I would return it.

I like sling bags because they are ergonomic and distributes the weight better without affecting the shoulders and neck. The pockets are in front for easy access. However I had to get used to the "look" of it on my chest. Regular crossbody bags put weight on one side and can still cause pain on my shoulder/neck.Susan R.'s review helped me choose the Baggallini Daytripper. And I'm grateful. It is just the right size. And the pockets hold all my essentials. It does have security locks which I don't need but I don't have to use it. The strap is adjustable but not very long. And the pocket on the back zips from the left. That is a little odd. The portobello color is neutral and non obtrusive.I tried the essential sling and the size is just right. But it has a non-adjustable stap, which is a deal breaker.The mini is a little too small. I could fit all my essentials but it was cramped. And when you put all your essentials in it, it becomes heavy like a bowling ball. The blue color was very nice though. And the strap was adjustable and long.I was also looking at the Securtex three pocket sling but it extends out a little too much and has a backpack look.I did order and keep a Vera Bradley cotton sling. It is a little larger, fits all my essentials easily. I love the pocket in the back. But it has no key strap. If this sling was a little smaller it would be perfect. The climbing ivy is a great color, a pretty green.I'm done shopping for a sling! It was a workout!😆

I purchased four different Baggallini sling bags in slightly different styles and returned three of them, including this one. I've written reviews for all, including the one I kept.First, here were my top criteria for this style of bag: 1. adjustable strap that could be worn over either shoulder, 2. pockets and compartments that made sense and seemed like a practical use of space, 3. enough room to function as my personal item for long trips (Europe, etc.) and also be functional as my "Mom bag" for weekend sports days (which would be how this is mostly used), 4. comfortable wearing in the front and in the back. Secondary criteria for me were: 1. designated water bottle holder, 2. practical travel/anti-theft features.This particular bag did not meet all of my top or secondary criteria for the following reasons:This bag is a lot smaller than I expected. That’s the main reason I sent it back. I really thought this was going to be the one I kept. It was actually very easy to access and the pockets were very nice. The pockets open fully and you can see everything inside. It just doesn’t have a lot of room. If you are planning on this being a bag to put small souvenirs, I think you would be hard pressed for space.On the plus side, the strap was great. Nicely padded, easy to adjust. People of all sizes can find a comfortable length for them. Very easy to switch the strap from one side to another to change shoulders.The anti-theft zippers are high quality and easy enough to use if you are in a place where you feel like they need to be engaged.My secondary want was a designated water bottle holder. This didn’t have one, and it also wasn’t big enough to just put a water bottle in the main compartment. That was probably the deal-breaker for me with this bag.If you don't need/want a huge bag, this could be the right one for you. But the negatives outweighed the pluses for me on this one and I sent it back.

Love my new Baggallini with securetex purchased this for an upcoming trip to Greece and wanted to have piece of mind w my documents (passport, license, etc), money, phone and other valuable items. Baggallini is seemingly very well thought out and smartly designed with their slash proof straps, body and the heavy zippers that lock into place will help to give me piece of mind in these high pick pocket areas. Although I had to cram my Owala water bottle into it and squeeze it out (so unfortunately w other stuff in it it most likely won’t work for an Owala), my Swell easily fit inside as would a regular, disposable plastic water bottle to allow you to be hands free. It has two Chapstick/lipstick/vape (if that’s your thing) loops inside which while unnecessary, is very nice to not have to search for it in the bottom of the bag. A felt lined sunglasses inside pocket as well.The strap is nice and long. Being on the bustier side and not a slender girl, I appreciate the nice long strap length that did not come w all cross body purses.
