Shopping Carry Bags for 72cm Big Boy?

After an agonizing wait, I finally have my first boy!! I love him!! I want to show him off to the world!!! I'm going to BJDC Texas in 10 days!! All the flailing with like-minded individuals shall be mine!!!

...He's an Impldoll Idol and comes in at a very hefty 72 cms and I don't even know how much he actually weighs but carrying him around in my arms is not going to be feasible.

So...um. Help?? For those of you who also have giant dolls, how do you lug them around? I don't have any other dolls, and I do want to bring him to the convention with me. The carry bags I'm seeing on Amazon or Etsy are all maxing out at 18" and he's a little over 28" xD Does anyone have a seller who they've purchased carry bags from in the past? Maybe one that does custom bags? 8\

I was contemplating getting one of those child carry harnesses, but he won't be very protected (I'm notoriously clumsy and wouldn't want him getting banged around, or heaven forbid losing his wig or some such), and I worry about him being exposed on the trip into the convention center as well.

I don't know if I have enough time for one to come in before BJDC, but would like to purchase one for the future even if that's the case. And for in the meantime...other than a bag made specifically for him, what other means have you used to lug around your bigger children?

Thank you in advance xD

 

@animemom & @ellie Thank you both very much, these are excellent suggestions and I will look into both!! 8D

 

Ooooo, ye, those look really well built too! But at 86$ that would make my wallet cry xD Thank you for the rec, but yeah I'll be hoping some of these other suggestions pan out first lol

 

Ah, thank you for hunting for one, that's so very kind of you! I'm definitely leaning towards the tripod case, but during my quick (I didn't have much time yesterday) hunt I discovered to my horror that I have another hurdle when it comes to those - his shoulders are also huge!! They're 19cm across, which is about 7.5 inches, and trying to find one that's at least 28 inches long and wide enough to fit his mammoth shoulders is a pain xD

Ooooooo, this is a unique and fun idea!! My partner is a musician, I'm sure he'd get a kick out of me carrying Leander around in an instrument bag too lol. I'll definitely look into those! I'm trying to lean towards bags where his legs are sticking out straight, cause his jeans are tight and trying to fold his legs up that well would be a bit of a pain lol

 

Oh, that will definitely come in handy when I have more dolls, thank you for the rec!!!

 

I ended up getting a tenor ukulele bag! It said that it held ukuleles up to 30 inches, but that must be stretching it quite a bit. Leander is just over 28" standing up, and his head is poking out with his legs straight.

The good thing is, with his legs bent a bit I am able to get him in there and zip it up, the fit is just a bit snug. Success!!!

Thanks everyone again for all their great suggestions, I really appreciate them!
