I have an Ellington In Flight Tote that I'm using for my handbag. It doesn't have a messenger strap, unfortunately. Is there a way to ADD a messenger strap to the bag, so I can hang it from my PP Aria stroller? This bag has little metal rings on the handles, so I could potentially hook something onto them. This is the one:

I'm finding it's a great handbag because I can add some diapers/snacks/water bottle and convert it to a simple diaper bag!

The large one comes with a strap that clips on. Maybe try contacting ellington to see if they will sell you a strap.

I think she has a small in-flight and those guys don't have the D-ring for a strap...

Maybe it's possible to use carabiners? The bag may "sit" a little high on the stroller if you try to use the straps, but that's the only thing I can think of :( ..I used to put my small in-flight on my umbrella stroller, but it only works if there isn't a ton of stuff in it, obviously...

The thing is, the PP Aria has a bar (vs. the umbrella stroller handles), so I'm not sure how that would work. I guess I could add some HOOKS onto the stroller (There are two small hooks, but they're too narrow for a carabiner) - do you know where I would find those?

Maybe something like this?

I know that doesn't help so much since they're out of stock...but I think they're an easy enough priduct to find at most baby stores or through a google search.
HTH!

We have an Aria too - does yours have a centerpiece bar that meets perpendicular to the handle bar? Could you put the stroller swivelers (or even the carabiners) that knaidel mentioned on one side of the stroller (so it would be further down the handlebar, on one side of the stroller).

You can get the swivelers at the Baby Depot (affiliated with Burlington Coat factory) and I think Babies R Us too...

Thanks so much!! Those clips should work for us.

My Aria has a U shaped handlebar (isn't that standard?).
