I am looking for alternative pediatric EMS bags to replace our current system. We are using the Broselow system: https://www.armstrongmedical.com/index.cfm/go/product.detail/sec/3/ssec/14/fam/150.
My number one choice is the R&B Pediatric Pack:

If you have used this bag I would like your input; good or bad. Also, if you have used another bag that you like let me know what you think of it.
My reasons for recommending against replacing our worn out Broselow system with the same:
1) Size: Since we have to carry in the monitor, oxygen and combo bag (for drugs) as well cutting down on size is important. Space is also limited in our truck for larger bags.
2) Ease of Use: Current system put most needed supplies at back of bag (BVM) and secondary airways. Even if you grab the correct color the laryngoscope handle, CO2 detector and tube holder must still be found elsewhere in the bag.
3) Cost: The Broselow system results in the duplication of supplies that are rarely used so we won't be replacing as many unused supplies.
Any thoughts on the topic are greatly appreciated.
