Good looking baby bag

Anyone who has to carry around lots of baby equipment on a regular basis will be aware of the need for a sensible bag. Carrying bottles, nappy changing items, and other baby paraphernalia can place a lot of strain on an ordinary shoulder bag, not to mention on your shoulder muscles, but who wants to tote a rucksack around every time you take the babies out of the nursery for a stroll? The latest development in baby bags comes in the form of the Healthy Back Baby Bag. This bag was developed in the US ten years ago and is designed to address weight-stress and back health issues. The ergonomic shape and the angle of the organisational pockets inside the bag are intended to help balance the weight that is being carried correctly, and avoid stress on the neck, shoulders and back. The bag works on the theory that the closer a bag fits to the body, the lighter it feels. The bag is designed to distribute the weight asymmetrically throughout its length, rather than just hanging off the shoulder, and fits to the contours of the body, 'settling naturally against the small of the back'. This means that when you bend down over a buggy or crouch to talk to a child, the bag should stay in position. The bag also has a full-length zip that rests under your arm for easy but secure access and this does away with the need to constantly move the bag as you would with a backpack. Made from lightweight, durable 'ripstop' nylon, the bag comes in black with a silver lining to make it easier to see the contents, a changing mat and 'wet bag' and a separate compartment with organiser pockets. Priced at 39.
