PackaPouch Review

A while ago I came across an article on a new invention to help busy mums cope with the demands of cleaning up after children and managing the house, I decided to have a quick read. Basically a busy mum 'invented' a rucksack that can be worn on the front that has many pockets so you can store things like toys, clothes, books etc anything that you get your hands on.

It acts as a versatile bag that can be used for anything to carry around so you can have your hands free whilst you carry on your day to day tasks. Apparently the article that was posted in the Daily Mail was inaccurate and the inventor actually invented this as a way to deal with the severe back pain that she suffered and used PackaPouch for carrying the laundry without having to bend etc.

Is it worth it?
Personally I think it's overpriced and unnecessary, even if its for just the laundry! For less you can buy a compact laundry trolley on wheels that can carry your laundry for you to stop you from bending, problem solved. PackaPouch is selling for £24.99, I just don't get why people would spend so much on something that is effectively like a rucksack? You can get one for less than £10.

I too am a mother and my daughter has a toy box, all her toys are in one area and she knows this so I don't have to worry about picking up her mess, she is learning to do it herself. People who need to do laundry can buy a trolley on wheels for less with the same effect, so why do you need a overpriced PackaPouch?

Funnily enough they have now launched a Deluxe PackaPouch for pegs and I'm even more horrified, its basically a bag that has a small clothes hanger on top so you can slide you pegs on your washing line! But at £10 this too is ridiculous, you can get something similar at the supermarket for a fraction of the price, I would know because I have a peg holder for my washing line.
