Purses, and European carry alls are overrated, what you really need is nothing more than a small backpack. Wether you are going for a walk in the woods or to town to take care of business a backpack it the way to go.
Ergonomically backpacks make much more sense than any other type of bag. They offer the user the ability to carry a load without using the hands and they balance the load across a very strong part of the body. Using a backpack will keep your valuables and your body much safer than any other type of bag.
A small backpack can be ideal for trips around town. To the park or to the museum, it will allow you to take the essentials, like a water bottle, a phone charger and a book. You may want to get a computer backpack to carry electronics and take care of business on the run. Despite the size, storage is king. Look for a bag that has numerous different compartments that will serve a multitude of functions.
Get kids started early when hiking or simply out walking. They need to learn to carry their share of the load and are usually thrilled to do so. Letting a kid have a small backpack gives them freedom and makes them feel like they have some control. Personally I have watched my 6 year old drag his small backpack around the house and on outings until is is threadbare. He is awfully proud of his ability to shoulder his own weight.
Functionality is the name of the game when it comes to computer backpacks or any other type of small backpack. The more useful and item the more likely you are to use it. Spend your money on quality products that will allow you to get more out of life. Carrying a small backpack has allowed me to take more advantage of life and it can do the same for you.
