I can’t find a bag that suits

I have been doing a lot of Google searches in the last few weeks trying to find a bag that I dont believe exists.

As per a previous post I have been doing a lot more thinking on this problem.

Here are my initial requirements.

NoRequirementMoSCoW
1Needs to be able to carry water bottles and keep them upright and not let them leak onto the items stored in the bagMust
2Small enough that I take it all the time when I only have water bottles to carryMust
3Larger enough that it can fit a small amount of food and jackets/jumpers for the kidsShould
4Be able to carry my 13inch ipad safelyCould
5It needs to be easy to carry and light to not hurt my shoulders if carried over the shoulder.Must
6It needs to be able to sit upright by itself and not fall over.Must
7Not overly expensive – preferably under $100.Must

What does success look like:

  1. I take it more often than not.
  2. It is versatile and can be used for multiple occasions.

When I was talking to mates it is very easy to go into solution mode as that is how we all work.

But I am still in Discovery and looking at all the different bags on the market.

It was suggested looking at baby bags or a tool bag.

And for a moment I thought maybe I haven’t been looking hard enough and maybe someone else has solved my problems.

But…… after lots of nights researching, I have not found anything yet.

Although, below are some that might solve some of the problems.

Ozcarry small canvas tool bag with 2 external pockets (yes that is the name of the bag) looks good and might solve a few of the problems.

but it is $156 plus shipping online.

I will continue to do more research, if not, I will look into making my own.
