Good idea! I use a gardening bag I got from an Avon rep selling her samples; it is so cute, and I love all the pockets-so easy to find everything, but it's so worn out after three years of constant use. I've got a pattern to make one out of old jeans, the pattern packet came with a back pack pattern, too, so I'll have to think more about trying a back pack for the hands free aspect when I need to take it out of the car. Thanks!

Another good thing is that as kids get older they may imitate you! My daughter, all on her own, started her own "kit" when she was 13 and now not only does Mama not have to save the world, she can help her friends! She carries wipes, Band-aids, lip gloss, tissues, sanitary pads, a small hand towel, etc. in a small zippered packet in her school bag. She was elected "most likely to be a good mom" by her eighth grade class!

I run a small day care...I keep a small backpack such as yours and take it with me whenever we go out side...I have a suggestion for you...make copies of your kids medical numbers, allergies, other pertinent medical information, and a list of emergency numbers to keep in your backpack...you never know when these may unfortunately come in handy!! I also keep a "pay-as-you-go" fully charged celphone in my pack!
