The insert is nice and has SO many pockets, but feels super stuffed and crammed when you fill it up. It's really difficult to get in and out of Shaylee when it's packed. With my Cailin (and when I had Lorie,) I put some things in the insert, and then put pouches in the middle of the insert.<br /> Now, I'm not saying people necessarily like the pockets on Shaylee that much better (they are much improved after switching from zippers to magnets,) but the ones on Meggan (the side ones especially) add so much weight/bulk and don't really add functionality. But many people LOVE Meggan.<br /> I would suggest joining the BST and watching as many youtube comparison videos as you can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lily-jade#post-2897407 Fri, 20 Sep 2019 13:56:26 +0000 bees_knees 2897407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: this is very helpful! Do you use the organizer insert at all? I don’t know if I’d use that or just some packing cubes (or both). I’m actually a fairly light packer, but I can see how the Meggan would get to be a black hole! I mostly wanted the option of throwing a carrier or coats on top of everything if I needed too, so it might still be a good option. The Meggan outside buckle pockets look so much more functional than the Shaylee’s, so I’m glad you said that! I’ll check out the BST group too, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lily-jade#post-2897396 Fri, 20 Sep 2019 11:47:13 +0000 crazydoglady 2897396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could write a novel, so I am going to try to keep this as brief as possible.<br /> Ok, so I have had 5 or six different LJ styles and can say that 30% is a big deal. I anticipate that Black Friday won't be as good.<br /> However...if you are at all interested in buying a used, but great condition bag (or you just want to ask LJ experts any questions,) join the facebook Lily Jade BST group. Prices on previously owned bags are at an all-time LOW because LJ is doing such great sales. There are 9k members, so the Shaylee vs Meggan debate has been talked about a lot.<br /> Between the two bags (I haven't had a Meggan but my friend has one) Shaylee is really great if you have 1 kid or one much older kid and a toddler. It was awesome when I just had my son, but once baby girl came along and he was potty-training, it didn't work. Meggan is great with space but is so heavy and many complain that the pockets with the buckles are virtually useless. They also say it is a black hole. If you need more space, I would try a Jennifer. It's larger than Meggan, has more horizontal packing vs vertical, and is lighter. I've had a Shaylee, Lori, Cailin, Brittany, and Danielle. I currently have the Cailin (I never thought I would want a nylon bag but her bottle pockets are amazing and she's so light. I've sold all the others. I also have a Frankie Lou Joann.<br /> If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lily-jade#post-2897389 Fri, 20 Sep 2019 10:44:04 +0000 bees_knees 2897389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been eyeing a Lily Jade diaper bag because 😍😍😍...I was planning on waiting until Black Friday, assuming they’d have a good sale, but they’re having 30% of site wide right now :shocked: Anyone know how their Black Friday sale last year compares to this?! </p> <p>Also if anyone has any input on a Meggan vs a Shaylee?....I’m going to have 4 kids 5 and under so I need the space, but I’m scared the Meggan will be huuuuge. </p>
