    I can see where your coming from Ron but I can't imagine it would cause too much trouble over here with firearms being illegal.

    This is all just hypothetical just now anyway, i might just ask Howie for a look at one of his when im down in edinburgh for my next kilt.

    Hi Jordan,

    If you are seriously interested, you might want to check out baby-goods accessories. Until recently I was a retailer for Bebe Confort, Loola, MaxiCosi, Quinney and all the associated companies.

    One of the major accessories was the 'nappy bag', for changing the baby while on the move. The problem is, that the bag has to be huge to carry everything. Jogging or power walking is a sport carried out by many new mothers to get back into shape. What they require is a baby, a jogger, themselves and a small bag. (They were only going to be out for 20 minutes max - no need for the huge bag.)

    To the rescue come the manufacturers. Most have produced an over the shoulder, cross chest, type carrier. These carriers have phone pockets, key clips, wallet pocket, separate change pocket, camera clip, odds and sods pockets and an everything else pocket.

    I know what you are thinking, but they are made to look stylish. The projected look is 'hot', rather than 'mumsy'. Most make a unisex or male orientated model. MaxiCosi had a limited edition one in black leather.

    Worth a look, I think.

    Regards

    Chas

    Hmm... don't know about that, sir. Perhaps you'd better come with me...

    The problem will arise, I can assure you. Never underestimate the inquisitiveness of your average British plod.

    Chas, I think I see what your meaning with your description most of what i saw when I looked would make it look like I'm wandering around having just lost a baby.

    you might be right but since I seem to stand out I'm public already I'm not too worried... Yet

    Yeah - that's the bit I didn't mention.

    Regards
