Detailed Description [0030] Referring to Figures 1 to 9, there is shown a bag 10 for a stroller 12, the bag 10 including a bag body 14 having ground engaging parts 16 adapted to be friction reducing and a coupling arrangement 18 adapted to couple to the stroller 12 in a coupled condition such that the bag 10 trails or is pulled by the stroller 12, as is shown in Figure 9. It is noted that whilst the bag 10 is described as being suitable for use with the stroller 12, the bag 10 may also find use with other similar types of prams and buggies. [0031] The bag body 14 includes an internal space or receptacle 32 defined by a base 20 having the ground engaging parts 16, a front face 22 arranged to face the stroller 12, a back face 24, opposing side faces 26 and a top 28. The top 28 includes a closable opening 34 having a flap 30 that extends at least partially down the back face 24 in a closed condition. The location of the flap 30 and opening 34 allows the receptacle 32 to be accessible when the bag 10 is coupled to the stroller 12. In some examples, a drawstring may be provided beneath the flap 30 to close the opening 34 and in other examples the flap 30 may be omitted and the drawstring may be used to close the opening 34. [0032] The ground engaging parts 16 are provided in the form of three wheels 36 located toward opposing corners of the base 20 so that the bag 10 may be selfsupporting when de-coupled from the stroller 12. The wheels 36 may be provided in the form of castor wheels or the like. The bag body 14 tapers or narrows toward the top 28. In some examples, two or four wheels 36 may be provided rather than the three wheels shown herein.
[0033] The coupling arrangement 18 includes one or more tethers 38 located toward the top 28 of the bag body 14. In this example, the one or more tethers 38 are provided in the form of two laterally spaced apart upper straps 40 located on the front face 22 of the bag body 14 so as to couple with spaced apart handle bar structures 42 (shown in Figure 9) of the stroller 12. The spaced apart upper straps 40 assist to guide or steer the bag 10 when trailing the stroller. -5 [0034] Other arrangements of upper straps 40 may also be used depending on the type of stroller. It is also noted that the tethers 38 may be coupled to the side faces 26 or other suitable part of the bag body 14 to allow for trailing of the bag 10 in the coupled condition behind the stroller 12. The bag body 14 is elongate between the base 20 and the top 28 such that the bag substantially occupies the space below the handle strictions 42 of the stroller 42. This elongate shape of the bag body 14 also allows a relatively short distance between the spaced apart upper straps 40 and the handle strictions 42 of the stroller 42 that assist with easy trailering of the bay 10. [0035] The one or more tethers 38 may also include a further strap 44 being arranged to couple with the stroller 12 in the coupled condition below the two laterally spaced apart straps 40. The further strap 44 is attached to the front face 22 toward the base 20. Each of the straps 40 and further strap 44 being adapted to releasably couple to the stroller 12 by a buckle 46 having a clip 48 and socket 50 each attached to the straps 40, 44. The straps 40, 44 being adjustable in length to ensure the bag 10 is appropriately positioned for trailing the stroller 12 in the coupled condition. [0036] Referring to Figure 10, the bag body 14 may be formed of foldable material that allows the bag 10 to be folded between an expanded or deployed and collapsed condition. The opposing side faces 26 may include pre-defines crease lines 27 to allow for easy folding of the bag 10 to a collapsed condition, as shown in Figure 10. The folded bag 10 may be stowed within the stroller 12 or elsewhere when not in use. When folded, or partially folded, the bag 10 may also serve to store other items such as nappies or other items. [0037] The bag body 14 and coupling arrangement 18 are dimensioned such that in the coupled condition the bag body 14 is at substantially maintained in the expanded condition with the ground engaging parts 16 bearing on a ground surface. More specifically, the coupling of the bag 10 to the stroller 12 provides some support to tension the bag body 14 and maintain the shape of the bag 14. However, the stroller 12 only supports a small part of the weight of the bag body 14 and most of the weight of the bag 10, and any articles or cargo within the bag 10, are supported by the base 20 and wheels 36.This ensures that any weight applied by the bag 10 to the handles 42 of the stroller 12 is minimal and in use, the stroller 10 pulls the bag 10 without the bag 10 hanging from the handles 42. This reduces any forces that may tip or overturn the stroller. [0038] The bag body 14 is thinner between the front and back faces 22, 24 relative to the width between the opposing sides 26. This gives the bag body 14 a relatively thin profile to allow the bag body 14 to trail closely behind the stroller 12 and provide a user pushing the stroller 12 with ample room to operate the stroller 12, for example, by providing clearance for the legs of the user when walking whilst pushing the stroller 12. [0039] In use, a method of use of the bag 10 may include the steps of the bag 10 being moved to the erect condition and the front face 22 is oriented toward the stroller 12 with the wheels 36 resting on the ground surface. The user may attach or couple the bag 10 to the stroller 12 by engaging the spaced apart straps 40 around the handles 42 of the stroller 12. The bag 10 is then in a coupled condition trailing the stroller 12. The coupling is such that some vertical tension is applied to the bag body 12 to inhibit the foldable fabric from collapsing. However, most of the weight of the bag 10 and any contents of the bag 10 are supported by the wheels 36. Accordingly, the stroller 12 pulls the bag 12 rather than the bag 10 hanging from the handle structures 42. The slender profile of the bag 10 and generally upright trailing position allows the bag 10 to remain close or snug with the rear of the stroller 12 mainly under the handle structures 42. This provides space or clearance for legs of the user when walking whilst pushing the stroller 12. The further strap 44 may be engaged to assist to keep the bag 10 snug, upright and adjacent the rear of the stroller 12. [0040] Advantageously, there has been described a bag arranged to trail a stroller. The bag having wheels to support articles or cargo placed within the bag and being arranged to couple with the stroller so that the stroller pulls rather than carries the trailing bag. This assists to alleviate the problem caused by hanging a bag from the handles of the stroller which may topple or overturn the stroller. The bag has an advantageous slender profile to trail the stroller in a manner, with the bag being substantially upright, such that a user may still push the stroller and the bag includes laterally spaced apart upper straps to support and maintain the erect shape of the bag and a lower further strap to assist to draw the bag adjacent a rear of the stroller. The bag is foldable and may be stowed. The bag includes a closable flap and may include a series of internal and external pockets for bottles, mobile phones, baby products and the like.
