GoGaga ~ Messenger Bag Review and Giveaway

I met a lot of fabulous people at the ABC Kids Expo, but Jill was one of my favorite. She is so kind, and she also happens to make a fabulous bag! Check out Go GaGa!



Jill's Go Gaga bags are made with rich colors, and a patented unique ergonomically designed shoulder strap really set this bag apart from other diaper bags on the market.



What is more, the Go GaGa isn't just a diaper bag. This is a purchase that is going to last you well beyond your diaper bag carrying years. Not to mention it is a bag your husband won't cringe when you ask him to carry it. In fact, you may just have to guard it or he might try to take it for his own!

You can even fit your laptop in this bag! It really has the versatility to do anything you need it to. Stroller Straps also adjust to carry a blanket for a trip to the park, or a yoga mat for class! The colors are beautiful, but also very gender neutral. (Again, watch you hubby's ladies!)

The GoGaga bag really is designed for a on-the-go life style. They are stylish, eco-friendly, and super comfortable to carry! Go Gaga has several products to choose from including The Messenger Bag (which I got to review), The Slide Tote Bag, The Gondola Bag, The Stuff Sack, and The Urban Sherpa Strap!

The Review

I choose The Go GaGa Eggplant Messenger Bag, which is made from Recycled Materials, and is seriously just beautiful!



Look how nice it looks on my stroller. What I love is it doesn't scream DIAPER BAG, which allows me to really keep my own style and not lose it just because I am a mom now. Notice how the front flap is at an angle? It was designed like that to allow you easy access to the front pockets without having to undo the clip.

One of my favorite features inside the Go GaGa bag is a foam divider that allows you to choose whether or not you want two main compartments, or one larger one. If I am using it as a diaperbag, I like to use the separation, but if I was to put my laptop inside I probably wouldn't use the foam divider.


The Go GaGa strap is absolutely amazing! It moves with you, instead of cutting into you. It doesn't put pressure against your breasts, so it is perfect for breastfeeding moms, and it spreads across your shoulder and body so it disperses the weight across your body. That allows you to wear this bag a lot longer than regular strapped bags and not feel it at the end of the day. And Dads don't worry, you can move the sliding shoulder pad up so as to give it a more masculine look.

The bag also features two insulated bottle pockets that fit not only baby bottles, but also our water bottles as well. They are angled so you only need one hand to access them. (Seriously genius, as moms we all know we rarely have two hands available anymore.)


On the Squishy rating scale, we give this an Extra Squishable. I am very impressed with the design of the entire bag. The only change I would like to see is a zippered closure for extra security when you need it. That said, it isn't easy to get into the bag when the flap is closed, but I tend to be a "nervous nelly" like that.

I would also like to note how much Philanthropic work that Jill and her company do. She works very hard to give back to many different walks of life.
