as a result of being kidnapped by the Huns i have a new pram. i now need an acceptable-looking backpack OR cross body bag - i know you guys can help [plaintive]

[Tutter]

i have a lovely cross body bag from coach

but it just cannot house the requisite purse + changing kit + phone + tissues + snacks + juice (etc etc etc)

ideas...?

(pram = phil and teds. with a baby and a toddler it cannot fit a bag anywhere on it)

large kipling bag
skip hop bag
P&T pannier (not style I know!)
P&T bag (can't recall what they call it but it will only fit a few bits and bobs in)

Tutter, if you have the front bar thing on the front seat you can clip the Skip Hop bag onto the side so it doesn't bash baby in the head. Also, P&T do panniers to attach to the sides, they hold loads.

Have no idea about handbags though sorry.

i just don#t want a p&t pannier

sorry but fugly imho

skip hop do saddle bags but not i nthe uk. try ebay.com

Do you want black, girly??

JuJuBe do a backpack in several designs
Have you considered a healthy back bag as they come in 17 (or whatever) different colours and finishes (they do a baby bag but only in black and red and it seems enormous) See ebags
Storksac do a couple of across the body ones (at a price!)

Have you tried Happybags.co.uk? They have a large selection including the skip hop saddlebags and some other lovely expensive ones which look more like proper handbags too. Very efficient delivery and good service too .

don't see how the saddle bag works

i already have a skip hop duo - imagine i could get it to do something similar...?

never heard of healthy back packs before. have googled and think oneof thos may do the trick w/out being too ugly

saddlebag has velcro straps that you loop round a bit of buggy to attach
It doesn't have a long strap so is not much use as a bag on it's own iyswim

Tutter, did you not buy a new P&T in the end?

I have some of these bag clips for my P&T which go round the bar and I just hang my normal bag from one of them:

And yes the Skip Hop bags do work ok.

But have to agree this whole bag/luggage issue is a major design fault of the P&T.

This Pronto clip on bag might also work:

Btw please do let me know if the buggy board is up for grabs, ta
