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.
| No | Requirement | MoSCoW |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Needs to be able to carry water bottles and keep them upright and not let them leak onto the items stored in the bag | Must |
| 2 | Small enough that I take it all the time when I only have water bottles to carry | Must |
| 3 | Larger enough that it can fit a small amount of food and jackets/jumpers for the kids | Should |
| 4 | Be able to carry my 13inch ipad safely | Could |
| 5 | It needs to be easy to carry and light to not hurt my shoulders if carried over the shoulder. | Must |
| 6 | It needs to be able to sit upright by itself and not fall over. | Must |
| 7 | Not overly expensive – preferably under $100. | Must |
What does success look like:
- I take it more often than not.
- 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.
