Description
Title of Invention
Perambulator pannier system
Background
This invention relates to storage bags which can be attached to perambulators.
When many shopping bags are hanged or tied to the handles or handlebar of a perambulator, the perambulator may become unstable. Often the perambulator remains upright only while a child is in the perambulator acting as a counterweight.
Prior art solutions attach to the back of perambulators which makes some perambulators unstable, particularly the umbrella folding types. Traditional perambulator storage solutions do not specifically address the issue of balance. They concentrate mainly on convenient storage and methods of attachment to the back of perambulators.
In addition, traditional detachable solutions offer limited storage space. Most often they are baby changing bags and do not offer additional storage space for bulky items and/or shopping
A known example of using the sides of a perambulator is a Push-chair bag assembly with reference EPOl 80314. The assembly comprises two bags connected by an adjustable strap with rings where the handles of the pushchair go through the rings. The pushchair bag assembly is in fully deployed condition even when the bags are not being used. It has no means for storing the bags when they are attached to the buggy but are empty.
Statement of invention
The present invention proposes attaching at least one pannier to the side of a perambulator when additional storage space is required which pannier can be detached from the side of the perambulator and retracted into a connecting piece.
Advantages
Attaching panniers to the sides of a perambulator will distribute the additional weight towards the middle and base of the perambulator rather than the back and will, therefore, ensure greater stability of the perambulator
The pannier can easily be detached from the side of the perambulator and retracted into a connecting piece, thus providing additional storage space only when required.
Preferably, the pannier folds into a pocket at the side of the connecting piece.
Preferably, the connecting piece is a storage bag with a number of pockets accommodating baby items and personal belongings.
The availability of additional storage space attached to the perambulator means that users are likely to use fewer plastic shopping bags thus the perambulator pannier system has environmental benefits.
In an embodiment where a storage bag serves as a connecting piece, the storage bag can be used as a shoulder bag independently from a perambulator.
