LISTEN: On the 'Moove' with these two Ballito moms on a mission!
Ask any parent how hard it is leaving the house with a toddler and they will tell you that it is a lot!
There is no one who knows this better than J Sbu, who is the proud father of an energetic five-year-old.
Whenever I have to leave the house with Zanda, I need to allocate an extra hour and 30 minutes to get him ready and in the car to head out. 9 out of 10 times, I almost always cancel my plans to leave the house with him unless necessary because it is just too much admin (laughs)!

When you are on a time crunch, anxiety and stress levels can also rise and the admin of having to prep beforehand for your smalls can feel very overwhelming.
Whilst surfing the internet while on a playdate with Zanda and some of his friends, J Sbu came across the Instagram page of Moove Bag.
Moove was created by two moms on a mission to make leaving the house as easy as possible.
Gone are the days when you are lugging separate toys, bags, towels, buckets, and spades to the beach or park. With a Moove bag, you can throw everything in, all at once.
We loved the concept of a play mat that turns into a convenient carry bag at the pull of a drawstring - making it easy to transport toys and to tidy them away. It brings the idea of portable play to life and encourages children to partake in packing away their toys when playtime is over.

Not only is it practical and beautiful, but the Moove Bag is also educational!
When coming up with the artwork for the Moove bag, we knew we wanted to encourage interactive play and make it unique to the South African market. The design is double sided and reversible - on the one side on the mat is a trendy, colourful spot design. On the other, is an interactive road map of South Africa including indigenous wildlife and botany, important landmarks, and many other unique elements to our beautiful country.
J Sbu invited the two incredible women behind this brand - Phil and Megan, to chat about the Moove Bag.

Here are some of our favourite behind-the-scenes snaps with the ladies, J Sbu, and Megan's son, Henry.
