Who wants to be a guinea pig?

LittlebigbagRecently, a PR got in touch with me to tell me about this eco-friendly shopping bag called the LittleBigBag. I would like someone to test it and report back on how well it works.
It is a funny concept that takes a little time to get used to. You pile your belongings into both front and back sections – it’s important that they balance out – and then you are hands free. It’s new to the British market. It’s inventor lives in Aix-en-France and is currently selling the bags around Europe on a very small-scale. But the company is hoping to expand and sell the bags in supermarkets in the UK.

If you’re interested in being a guinea pig, email me or leave a comment below and I’ll post one out. I only have two bags (obviously you can keep them afterwards). First come, first serve.

if you haven't already been inundated via email, I'd be interested in trying one out.

Looks like something I'd love to try, I keep on getting re-usable bags and giving them away so perhaps something logo free and without handles might confuse friends long enough that I might be able to hang on it for a while!

If the bags aren't grabbed I'd love to try it out.

If they're gone you'll be telling us where to get them though, right? :-)

I think I'll pass on this one Anna, since I can see that the weight is going to be twisting the neck and upper back; I don't fancy what that would do to me over 15 minutes, nor if I take a mis-step. I'd be interested in hearing the test flight results though!
