Rated 5 out of 5 by from I bought this for my Granddaughter, and she loves it!!! My daughter also likes it because she is able to keep the granddaughter close by, because she has a tendency to run when something catches her eye!!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not a pump bag, refuses to refund if unhappy My wife bought one of these backpacks for our daughter who needs a feeding pump. We realized after the fact there was no way to access the pump without taking the whole thing out of the bag. My wife asked for a refund and this manufacturer promptly refused. We hadn’t had it two days yet were denied our money back. We just wanted a smaller pump backpack for our child as she’s mobile. This is not a pump bag, this is just a backpack with a hole in the side.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I bought this while I’m family vacation. My son is a runner and it makes going on outings very stressful. This backpack made outings a lot less stressful, and was big enough to hold a few diapers and wipes and his snacks.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from It is quite small [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fabric and print are lovely. The zipper however doesn’t seem too strong. Be aware it is quite small, It can barely fit a pack of wipes , a pair of diapers and a change of clothes. It is. Great for a baby to walk with.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect size I bought the mini (there are 3 sizes). My daughter is about 1.5 years old and about 2 ft. 3 in. tall. The backpack is the perfect size for her because it's not too big/bulky on her. There's enough room to stick a jacket in there and her water bottle (when I don't have enough hands to hold it). I didn't intend for her to carry a ton of things or have her carry her own belongings so not being able to fit a lot things in her mini backpack is not an issue for me. I really wanted the backpack for the leash as a safety measure because she likes to run ahead in crowded areas and tries to break free from our hold when holding her hand. The leash gives her the freedom to walk ahead and we can still keep her close without losing sight of her. I also really appreciate that the straps are padded on this backpack. I had bought a different harness backpack but the straps were not padded and with her running ahead and tugging, the unpadded straps rubbed against her neck and collar bone. I made the switch to this one and have not regretted the decision or purchase.

Which animal comes with a metal hook and latch rather than plastic? I prefer the metal, but some are pictured with both. How do I make sure the one I order is metal hook and latch?

Asked by: randis
We transitioned to plastic, so they are all be plastic now – no more metal available. We tested at the time of transition and the new hardware is lighter, but just as strong if not stronger.
