Ds is only in yr 4 so his epipens are kept in one place now. He has a small backpack with epipens , spacer and antihistamine which we used when we go out.
How do your older allergic children cope with taking their allergy stuff around ?

I've seen a small bumbag work well for epi-pen etc. worn by a child in year 6.

Dd1 year 7, has hers in a pencil case in her bag, I really wouldn't advice a bumbag in senior school.

DS starts senior school this September. I am considering the pouches that fit on the belt. I worry about him losing his bag.

It's a difficult decision because I want him to feel normal but not be at risk.

I worry if it is in his bag and he can't administer it himself will someone else find it.
