Favourite Tiny Carrier?

Good thinking. I've actually been putting my little Cumi doll in my pocket, but I think that's not such a good long term solution. I've got a little pullstring bag for a water bottle that I've used when I put her in my purse.
You could get one of the marketplace seamstresses to kit you out.

 

Let's see - I have quite a few eyeglass cases - I prefer the slightly largers ones as the slim ones won't fit even the thinnest doll due to head size - it's the safest way since the hard shell protects against the worst bump. When carrying all of them, I forgot I had this tiny hello kitty make-up case thing. I should be able to get more tinies in it.

 

I have a slightly padded shoulder camera bag that has a long strap, with a big compartment (about 4x7 ) that has a flap. The flap has a zippered pouch for my camera. I put my girls in the big compartment and go!

 

I was at Claire's on thursday, and found these neat boxes:

i'm using this one to keep my two orientdoll SOs in hehehe n_n it's seven inches long, about 2 1/2 inches tall, and 3 inches deep. i think it's supposed to be a sort of purse thing... but it's a nice little case! though i'm going to ditch the thick black plastic chain and replace it with something a little nicer.

 

i'm selling a bratz case with compartments. please check it out if its suitable for you^^.
price negotiable if interested.

I've got several hard-shell cases, but poor little Yam won't fit. I'm wondering about iPod cases--anyone tried that? There's some cute ones at Target.

 

I would think ipod cases would be much too small, ipods are only like a 1/4" thick.

I would reccomend hard-shell cosmetic cases... they are pretty easy to find at department store or places like target/k-mart/etc. Of course, I'm thinking of for 10-12"~ tinies... but it may work if you want to bring stuff with her. I always sew them little pillow beds with folds on either end so they're super protected... I'm sure that would be adequate if you wanted to get one of those smaller collapsible pencil/make-up case instead and carry her in your bag with your other stuff.

Would something like this be more suitable? If she's 5" she should fit... may have to bend her knees though~ you could also consider looking at palm pilot cases, some of them are on the larger side.

 

Ahhhh...I don't carry a purse usually, so that bag tends to be the only thing I bring when I travel out. I plunk my wallet in there, the dolls, stick my camera in the pocket, then go. I like it because I have my hands free to set up poses, and I don't set it down and forget it anywhere (like I tend to do with hand-held bags). I rarely bring my bigger girls with me travelling, so don't tend to bring a real doll bag, my little ones travel in the camera bag in my backpack on the plane. Since they're padded for the cameras, the bag also helps protect the dolls. We have a smaller camera bag, but I tend to take 2-3 tinys at a time, so I opted for slightly bigger (though it's not very big at all...it's about the size of a teen paperback book).

 

Are there any tiny doll carriers out there? I know I saw a tiny come with a case in the "incoming" section recently!

I'm taking my So Ui with me to my Mothers for Thanksgiving, but she's sitting in the front seat with the sweet potato casserole! LOL

 

Not Doll Lab sells the little cases that Nari-Pons come in seperately now. They are nice sturdy box with some padding. I recently bought like 5 of them for my tinies. Find them here: http://notdolllab.com/shop/step1.php?number=389

 

The boxes that the hand held gaming console systems travel in might be a doable solution. The Game Boy boxes are about the same size as the Naripon cases.

In the makeup section of some of the department stores carry all sizes of carry boxes for make up, some are small enough to carry a tiny or 2.

 

Lunchboxes (I got one with an Amy Brown fairy painting on it), and also there are cool little metal boxes like little lunches boxes or purses that you can find with Hello Kitty on them.

Also top-opening box purses, and the little colored clear acrylic top-opening boxes you can find on Ebay, and sometimes in Kmart near the the cosmetic cases.

Top picture here is an example of Acrylic cosmetic case that has no inserts, dividers, or trays. They come in various colors, sizes, and pattern. (this picture is at a wholesaler - you cannot buy there)

For padding I use white cotton hankies or white terry washclothes.
