aussiechick2006 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Ok, bare with me. I can honestly say that I NEVER thought that I'd be considering taking/buying a 'bum bag! Im far too young and hip, haha.... Honestly, I'm so not (hip that is!)!!! But as I'm doing the trip back home on my own with a 5 and 3yr old I'm thinking it may actually be quite handy as I'll have everything 'literelly'in front of me and easily accessible. Please tell me that someone else has been daggy :-/ AC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 My mum uses one for the doggy bags (before they get used ;p ) Never used on with kids. I use a small backpack when we go places with our son and I need hands free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kianobeano Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I remember going to disneyland when i was about 13 (not that long ago ..lol) but they were on sale everywhere ......called fanny packs !!! For that reason i think i'd pee myself laughing if i was to buy one !!! However i don't think they look "uncool" :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Absolutely - bum bag or backpack. Who cares what you look like as long as it is functional and practical. I have various size bum bags depending on the task in hand and look and snigger when I see people attempting to cart around the kitchen sink and wrangle kids at the same time with no hands free! If people snigger at me cos I am not hip then I couldnt give a toss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2tigers Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I have a smallish bag that goes over my shoulder and crosses my body, this seems to do the trick for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I've had the same one since my first trip to Australia 15 years ago! I don't actually wear it but all all passports, tickets, insurance etc in and keep it in my bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missus B Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I dunno..........it can lead to other atrocities imo. The convenience sucks you in and it gets out of control. Let me demonstrate.

wakeboard1980 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I have had one on my travels since 06. It has all different compartments thats ideal to carry passports, tickets, wallet, sunnies and phone. I don't wear it around my waist but carry it over my shoulder. It's worth using that's for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARYROSE02 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 They are perfect for a flight BUT, trying to pee wearing one, gave me an insight into what it's like to have a beer gut when, unless you are looking into a mirror, you never get to see your 'equipment.'

BritChickx Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I took one to aus with me lol I kept everything important in it and inside my bag, seperate to my purse, and occasionally wore it under a jumper or top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tisme Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Bum Bags are a great idea, but wear it under your clothes when travelling, it's easy to get distracted and they can be snipped off in an instant. Also back packs are best worn on the front if your keeping important things in a zipped pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiechick2006 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Brilliant.... Thanks everyone for your replies. I don't think that I've laughed so much on a Sunday morning, lol... Some great replies, some of you sound more 'sensible' than others :-P Im thinking that I may actually go ahead with my purchase! The idea of one daughter dragging the other off around on her trunkie, me chasing after them with the remainder hand luggage no doubt when I'm needing to get important documents to show. Arghhh..... Actually they'll probably be good as gold. I'm just making excuses as I'm one of those people who has to check everything is still there 100's of times.

aussiechick2006 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Well folks, I've just gone and done it........ I have purchased my very own bumbag! I can't believe how many there are to choose from! In the end I decided on a plain black one (no need to draw extra attention). I'm actually quite looking forward to trying it out.
