How to choose between them
Start with what you carry on your busiest day, not your average one.
1. Your laptop
Up to 15 inch fits the H-Convert. A 16 or 17 inch laptop needs the H-Carry All.
2. What else comes with you
A drink bottle, lunch and charger fit the H-Convert. Gym clothes, a change of clothes for the kids or a weekend away suit the H-Carry All.
3. Babies and toddlers
The H-Convert comes with a padded change mat with a pocket for nappies and wipes. The H-Carry All gives you more room when you pack for more than one child.
4. Crossbody
The H-Carry All wears crossbody straight away. The H-Convert goes crossbody with the H-Strap.
5. Travel
Both slide over a suitcase handle. The H-Carry All works as your only carry on for a weekend, and the H-Case fits at its base as an insulated lunch bag.
