Customer Reviews Baggallini Central Park Sling

I wanted a sling that is fully accessible and fits close to my front body, to wear traveling when I'm also wearing my carryon backpack. Previously I used a Naples backpack worn in front, but I wanted to see if I could get my essentials into the Central Park sling. I can. In the back zipped section I carry an iPad mini, powerbank, AirPods and associated cords and chargers. In the middle zipped section I have my "mini pharmacy" pouch, my prescription sunglasses in a hard case, and a snack. In the open middle pocket I keep my RFID-protected walletthe pocket is deep and feels secure. In the front zipped section I keep my phone, pen, and a hygiene pouch (masks, wipes, etc.) For plane trips, I can tuck my rolled-up inflatable pillow underneath the front buckle to access when I'm seated. All this and the sling looks good and hangs comfortablyI'm left-handed and have no problem using the zippers. One key to its success are the various sections for organization and access. Plus the back section actually has usable space in the narrow top area, which other slings I've seen don't have. I wish the sling strap had a steel cable inside that would hamper a thief from cutting it off me, but when I'm wearing my other backpack, the sling's strap is protected.

I love the Central Park sling, which like most Baggallini products, benefits from a large number of pockets and a place for everything. My one quibble with it is that the three exterior metal zipper pulls bounce around against the bag and each other and make relentless, annoying, clicking and jangling noises when I walk, no matter how I adjust them. Using rubberized or ribbon-style zipper pulls for this bag (and all similar multi-zipper slings, waist packs, and mini crossbody bags) would be an enormous improvement.

I am love, love, loving my Baggalini sling! Got the one with the stripes for easy identification and locating among my clothes. Smart move for my blow and go life!

I haven't gone outside to work without it in the two months since it came. Put my phone and glasses in the slip pocket behind the clip and they don't fall out. I can get it dirty and then wipe the dirt right off. It's sleek. Don't even realize it's there.Meaning it's not distracting me in any way from my tasks. Adjusts to fit close to the body, where you want it! This is the one I'd wear out walking. Sporty, sleek, made for activity! Can run right to the store cause my On the go wallet with keys fits perfect too. Plus sunglasses and work gloves. I got it in French Navy which is great and black for the snow shoveling iI see in its future!!

I love this sling! It is very comfortable to wear in the front or back. I recently used it on a long bike ride and it worked perfectly. I bought it to use at the beach but I'm happy to say I'm finding other uses for it too.

Love the material, easy to clean. Anti-theft clasp for the larger compartment and zipper on both sides on the back side for my phone. Easy to adjust straps and you can move the strap easily from one side to the other so you can wear it either way. Would highly recommend!

I have had mine for a couple months and love it. It holds what I need but its small size forces me to eliminate the extras I often carry and therefore, it's easier on my back while giving me the space and organization that I need in a purse. One word of caution though. I bought the pink color (which I love) but didn't think of how often my purse gets put on the floor of the car, floor, etc. and it's going to show dirt and wear quickly. I know it's washable which is really a plus, but I am going to buy another one for winter use and will choose a darker color that won't show dirt.

I bought this as a gift for my daughter! Will be nice for her when she takes the kids to the park and other activities!

I just recently purchased the central park sling and I love it. I keep all of my must haves in a medium cosmetic pouch,small pouch for phone cords, power bank in front pocket, readers in back pockets,phone in open pocket for easy access. It works great with all your needed items in a pouch. It would hold just the basic or bare minimum. The Thick Strap is very comfortable and you can switch sides which.is comfortable and convenient, the black with the dark metal hardware makes it work or either casual or dressy occasions. Makes a great gift. I would love to purchase a red one when it becomes available. -Happy Bagallini Customer

This cross-body bag is the perfect size and fits everything I need. It is flexible and comfortable.

The size is just right. I really like the color. It feels comfortable. I like having everything right in front of me when I need it. I'm still learning all the zippers. It'll be a great addition to my travel "baggage."

Too small for my needs. Also, not a good fit on me.

Good for using in foreign countries. Lightweight, good quality

Love this sling bag, perfect size and holds a good amount. It will get a lot of use when traveling.

I have used a sling purse in past and this one replaces an well used bag. Baggallini purses are my go to style because of quality and good prices

Love my purchase. It is very well made. Light and roomy

I bought for my next visit to Africa. But from day one I've been using it for EVERYDAY. So nice for HANDS FREE shopping etc. Easy front access for everything I need to get at quickly, no more digging thru a bag for the wallet in at checkout in a store. I now carry bare minimum, but carry everything I need for an average day. When occasionally I need a big bag, I still use the sling, and just bring along another bag along. Also, there is a clip that I clip my keyless entry keys, (and all my keys) to in the bottom of the main compartment, so I never forget my keys somewhere. This bag is revolutionary for me! P.S. I'll still bring it to Africa!

Beautiful functional bag. Love it! Would buy again.

I ordered the Navy Blue to use for travel as a day pack on excursions. I've not actually used it yet, so the Five-stars may be premature. I gave it the Five-star rating based on first overall impression of the style, size and functionality features. Recommendation: I prefer RFID for my bags. Consider adding RFID Card Pockets to ALL bags. I believe it is overpriced since it did not have RFID. Yes, I knew this when I purchased the Central Park Sling. I liked the style and size for travel.

Bought for future travel, which I will - but I use this for everyday. Easy fast access to my wallet and anything in the bag. It fits the basic things you would want to carry, not much more. For me it fits what I need most days. I put 4 stars for value because I wish it cost less, but it is well made and obviously worth the price since I bought it. (no incentive)

Very nice bag. Could be on the small size to carry a water bottle. Comfortable. Returned bc didn't like color enough to keep it after the trip I bought it for was canceled last minute. Bad vibes:( will look later for it in a better color.

I am very happy with my purchase. It is easy to stay organized with all of the compartments.

While it is very well made, as expected from Baggallini, it's just not a good fit mor my needs

This is going to Europe with me tomorrow. I wanted a bag that didn't look like I was carrying a baby but with enough room for the necessities and safety features to keep my stuff secure. This bag has it all.

Recently purchased Central Park Sling in smoke twill. I love the color. The only thing is I wish the strap was a little longer.
