Before kids you thought travel was a drag.

Now you realize long security lines and flight delays are nothing compared to running frantically through an airport with a baby on your chest, a toddler swinging from your shirttail, and bags on every appendage.

Next time get organized with the Mia Bossi Tobey bag. An alternative to the bulky diaper bag, it holds only the essentials: a bottle, cell phone, diapers, and wipes. Wear the belted bag around your waist to free up your hands (and shoulders).

Don’t worry; with its designer fabric and Italian Ruat leather, no one will mistake it for a fanny pack.

Not even the jerk at security.

Available at Mod + Mini, 6025 Royal Lane, suite 114 (214-234-0992 or modandmini.com).
