Grandson's Desire Fulfilled!

My 2 year old grandson LOVES his new backpack. It's just the right size for him and though small, holds plenty of stuff - snacks, change of clothes, favorite toy, water bottle. His parents love it's great design and sturdy construction.

The perfect diaper bag

Cute Backback, but Limited Space - Returning

I thought this size would be okay for my pre-k aged child, but turns out like someone else said, you can't even fit a normal sized folder inside of it without folding and cramping it inside to fully zip. Super disappointed. I didn't see that review until after I went back on the site to figure out how to return. So, are we stuck withbuying a normal youth size backpack that would be considered oversized for the littles? The backpack must be functional and not just for aesthetics! If this doesn't bother you, then keep it!

Great quality and seize

Perfect size for our smaller than average toddler ... fits his lunchbox without sleeve, a change of clothes and a snack. Holds water bottle on side. Nice padded straps

Prefect for a first back pack

I bought this for my son starting preschool and it fits a set of his clothes, diapers and wipes. They give him a folder to have in his pack back that I have to fold in the corners for it to fit but I personally don't mind. I rather fold the folder than him carry an oversized backpack around. He just turned 3 and it's perfect for his size. So happy and I love the colors! The backpack has a nostalgic look I couldn't pass on, bought it as soon as I saw it. Can write your kiddos name in it to avoid mix ups.

So cute and roomy!

Bought this little backpack for my toddler who began daycare. It also doubles as a quick diaper bag that fits the essentials. Love the large main compartment as well as the three outer pockets. Looking forward to many uses throughout the years!
