This little backpack makes the big moments so much easier. Kids get a soft bestie to bring everywhere, and you get easier goodbyes, calmer trips, and a toddler who's proud to do things on their own.

They Can Carry Their Own Stuff

It's the perfect size for little ones, and the straps adjust as they grow. They love packing their own snacks and toys, just like the big kids. And you get one less thing to carry!

Happy Independent Play, Anywhere

Unpack, repack, cuddle, buckle back in. It keeps them busy and teaches them independence. 

Easier Goodbyes

Daycare drop-offs, long flights, sleepovers at grandma's... their buddy comes along every time. It's something cozy to hold on to when you're not right there.

No More Lost Stuffies

Their buddy stays right on the backpack, so it never gets forgotten at home or left on the plane. They can take it out for cuddles whenever they want.

Great for Trips & Daycare

It fits under the plane seat and holds snacks, a sippy cup, a change of clothes, and a couple of toys. There's even a name label inside, so it doesn't get mixed up at daycare.

Soft & Made to Last

The corduroy is super soft and the plushie is so cuddly. But it's also made to handle everyday toddler life, dragging and dropping included.

A Gift They'll Actually Use

Adorable and well-made, it's the gift that gets carried everywhere and remembered for years.

Toddler-sized: At 9 × 8.3 × 3 in (23 × 21 × 8 cm), it's sized for 18M+

Detachable plushie buddy: Sparkle and Finny ride in their own little overalls on the front of the bag. Kids can pop them out for cuddles and buckle them back in, and the buddy stays attached to the bag so it never gets left at home.

Holds all their essentials: Snacks, a sippy cup, a spare outfit, wipes, and a few favorite toys.

Built to be dragged, dropped & stuffed in cubbies: Reinforced stitching at every stress point and a structured body that holds its shape.

What age is it for?

It's designed for little ones aged 18m+ to 5 years. The straps adjust, so it grows with them.

How big is it?

The backpack is about 9 × 8.3 × 3 inches (23 × 21 × 8 cm), a true toddler size, so it won't swallow them. It fits snacks, a small water bottle, a spare outfit, and a few treasures. The plushie is about 11 inches tall (28 cm), big enough to cuddle and small enough for little hands.

Does the plushie come off?

Yes! Sparkle and Finny ride in their own little overalls on the front of the bag and are held in place with soft Velcro. Little hands can pop them out for a cuddle and buckle them back in for the ride home.

Is it safe for toddlers?

It's tested to CPSIA / EN71 safety standards and it's made with soft corduroy, a 100% cotton lining, and a padded back, with embroidered eyes and no small parts. 

Will it hold a water bottle?

Yes. There are two stretchy side pockets on the outside and a dedicated bottle pocket inside.

Can I add my child's name?

Yes. There's a "This backpack belongs to" label inside, which makes it easy to spot at daycare or in a busy airport.

Is it good for travel?

It's the perfect carry-on for little travelers. It fits under any airplane seat, holds their essentials, and brings their favorite buddy along for the ride.

Can I swap the plushie for a different one?

Each backpack comes with its own buddy, so we can't swap plushies on our end. But the plushie comes right off, so your little one can buckle a different small stuffie into the overalls any day they like.

      “I got the unicorn backpack for my three-year-old granddaughter and she absolutely loves it. The unicorn is so soft and cuddly, and the backpack feels really well made. I was actually surprised by how much it can hold for such a small backpack. It arrived really quickly too. She loves carrying it around, and I’d definitely get another one if I needed a gift for another little one.”

        So incredibly cute.

        We already had the Bandou headband and I couldn't resist getting the matching backpack. The whole little travel outfit together is just adorable. We got stopped at the airport twice by people asking where it's from.

        Thank you!!!

        It’s so squishy that my daughter literally used it as a pillow in her car seat, and then again on the plane. It’s seriously soft enough to sleep on, with no weird hard plastic bits poking her.

        We are deep in the 'I DO IT MYSELF' phase.

        The zippers on this are smooth and just the right size that his little hands can actually open and close them without my help. It prevents so many meltdowns.

        A lifesaver for forgetful toddlers!

        Honestly, having the plush attached is a game changer. My 3yo used to insist on bringing a stuffed animal everywhere, which meant I ended up carrying it, or we’d lose it somewhere in Target. Now it's her actual bag. One less thing for me to keep track of.

        A lot of kids' bags feel heavy before you even put stuff in them.

        This one weighs practically nothing when empty. Even when she stuffs it with her full water bottle, it’s still light enough that she can carry it herself without whining.

        She loves her backpack

        I love that this bag doesn't hold too much, if that makes sense. It fits exactly what my toddler actually needs for the park: a juice box, some snacks, etc!

        If you know, you know: usually you buy a cute backpack for your kid and 5 mins later you're the o...

        The straps are padded and actually stay put, so he happily wears it the whole time."

        Because her backpack is 'her buddy,' she actually wants to get it ready herself.

        Giving her that little job has honestly shaved like 10 minutes off our routine when we're trying to get out the door.

        So many toddler backpacks are just awkwardly scaled-down school bags.

        This one actually fits my 2-year-old's tiny shoulders properly. He doesn't look like a turtle carrying a massive shell.

        It holds up surprisingly well to toddler chaos.

        Bought this thinking it would just be a cute airport bag, but it's survived daily daycare drop-offs, getting tossed in the dirt, and wild weekend sleepovers at Grandma's.
