If you've ever pushed a pushchair and then gone shopping and loaded it down with bags you will know how precarious and heavy the pushchair becomes. Of course, you can put bags in the basket underneath the pushchair but this fills up quite quickly and you need someone else to put your other bags. I used to hang a big bag of shopping from the brake bar on the right hand side of my pushchair and this really wasn't ideal. Firstly the whole pushchair would be lopsided so it sort of lent to that side if the bag was really heavy and secondly I was always worried about the brake clip actually snapping off and making the brake useless, it never did but it was always a concern.

Then someone suggested a buggy clip to me and I'm really glad they did as its such a simple but effective little clip to deal with situations such as these. The clip is basically just a simple metal clip, much like the ones you use when going rock climbing. It is made of a thick metal and is study but has a little lever on it that moves when you press it in and allows you to hook the loop onto things and then it shuts again, safe and secure and will not open when pulled, only when pressed which is an action you actually need to do and not one it can do my mistake if you know what I mean.

You hook the clip onto your pram handle. It hooks on really easily and it was really handy when I had my Bugaboo pram as this handle was one continuos piece of handle and stretched all the way along the pram. You can then hang your shopping bags from this hook and they are evenly hung on your pram and don't weigh it down incorrectly. The hook has a hard foam most of the way around it, apart from the lever opening which means it sits nicely on your pushchair and does not scratch it or mark it in any way. The buggy buddy costs just £5 and is something I definitely recommend if you like to do your shopping when out with your pushchair.
