Will my kids get 'bullied' if I make them take their things out with a bum bag?

[coodawoodashooda]

I want them to have somewhere to keep their phone, wallet and sweets. A rucksack is no good. Would a bumbag be acceptable?

Everyone wear bum bags like this. Even the Uniqlo bag is an evolution of this. It’s very much the norm.

they’ll be fine OP. And in fashion.

Both my DCs (Ds22 and DD 19) use cross body bum bags all the time both home (London) and at unis. Have done for the last 4 years or so. Really practical. DD wears one clubbing and everything!

My DC cycle a lot and the cross body bag is super handy. Neither of them (one in particular) would wear anything that might be unacceptable to their peers.

That said, they don't wear them to school - rucksack for school stuff, pockets for phones, pens and the dreaded chewing gum.

Need more information - how old are they? When would they be using it? Is this for a holiday? A day out? Generally? What's the context here?

Yes

you cant make tem tey wear watever teyre local group of friends deem as fasinable

i canged my bag every couple of weeks in scool

That’s what the teens round my neck of the woods wear to carry their stash in, usually with a snide Moncler coat 😂

No they are popular- called “Fanny packs “ rather than bum bags which makes me cringe. Worn across the body on diagonal rather than round the waist.

kids wear them at festivals etc, and my 19 year old wears one when out socialising to hold her phone, ID and epipens. Let them choose the bag though.

Or as other people have noticed, it's different in different parts of the country!

So you have a recepticle attached to you at all times?

Yes, this too (not that I am in the country if you mean UK).

Posh bit of Sowf London. Bum bags are OUT.

Phone pouches are in. Basically a small bag with enough space for your phone, debit card, door key and Oyster card which is worn across the body. Kipling do nice but expensive ones.

We are in London too and our late teenage nieces wouldn’t be caught dead with them (just asked them).

According to them they are a “middle age woman thing, especially the Uniqlo one with people trying to make themselves look younger” and if the see a guy with them then there is an assumption that they are a drug dealer

Personally I think they look ridiculous at any age

@Timetogohome2 agree. Once your mum wants one, you move on VERY quickly.

DS said Cotopaxi is a good place to start.
They look 1980s old fashioned to me but what do I know 😳

Every late teen early twenty where I live has a Uniclo cross body. My ds has two.

My ds has one of these. Not sure if it’s classed as a bum bag..

How old are the dc?

Never buy anything without deep pockets

Thank you. They are 'tweens'.

For Friday afternoon at the park. Not breakfast.

Not too complicated. It would be put down if they are playing football.

This is true. I've intentionally not detailed our exact itinerary. Apologies for the confusion.

Thanks to those of you who offered helpful answers.
