Abstract

A bag carrying device that allows an individual to carry multiple retail store style plastic bags and/or any other type of bags with handles so the bags can be carried hands-free to allow a person to use keys or carry other items with their hands without dropping the bags. It is preferable made of light weight plastic and comfortably fits over the individual's shoulder. The “U” shape conforms to or rests on the shoulder with each side running down to form a generally V-shaped or J-shaped hook where the bags are seated. The bags are secured with a slider clip, which slides down to engage the hook portion and secure the bags in place. The part that drapes over the shoulder can include a cushion portion attached to it for comfort.
