Where can I get a bumbag for allergy meds?

I posted a while back about having decided DS1 needs to carry his own medication to and from school and other times, and I ordered a bumbag from Kidsaware... it's really nice but unfortunately falls off his waist to the floor as it is too big (he is nearly 8 but pretty skinny)!

So I need to send it back and find another one. Can anyone give me some sites where I can find them? It has to be a reasonable size as he has Ventolin + spacer, epipen, a small bottle of antihistamine and a small bottle of steroids to fit in.

I sell them if you want to PM me, though the ones I have wouldn't fit a spacer. But they do hold epipens and small single dose medicine bottle. If you have lots of bits to carry maybe look into a drawstring PE type bag. I got one off e-bay and had it embriodered with "dd's name"..Allergy Kit bag. She used it for years on school/guides trips and days out etc.

I did get your details before (thanks!) but saw that your bags wouldn't fit the spacer, which he does need to have. Will think about a drawstring bag if I can't locate a suitable bumbag...

Yellow Cross www.yellowcross.co.uk do bumbags for medication but I'm not sure you'd fit a spacer in them. I use a square thermal lunch bag for my DS as we can fit in 2 epi-pens, inhalers, spacer and Piriton plus because it's thermal it helps to stop epi-pens getting too hot or cold. As we go to Spain quite a lot I put his epi-pens in tough tubes and thermal pouch from Yellow Cross for added protection. The lunch bag is Ben 10 as we allowed DS to choose himself and he loves it. I've added a tag with emergency info etc.

Thanks, have had a look at their site and will measure up their bag to see if it would fit everything. Our spacer is quite compact so you never know...
