All you need is one of those shopping carriers that you keep flat in
your car. It is made of fabric and unfolds like an accordion and
reveals either 3 or 4 pockets that are capable of holding a full-size
paper grocery sack or a watermelon or whatever. I keep one in my car
because I carry my shopping in the front passenger area and this bag
holder keeps everything stable -- even when turning sharp corners or
bumpy road.
