Review: Animal Backpack, worth £39.99

Review by VIP Club Member Carrie Talbot-Ashby

Myself and Rosie were recently asked to try out and review this adorable red panda children’s backpack for my toddler, and it has quickly become one of our favourite everyday items.

Priced at £39.99, I initially wondered whether it would be worth the cost, but after using it for the past few weeks, I can confidently say it absolutely is. The quality, design, and practicality all exceeded expectations.

First of all, the backpack is incredibly cute. The furry red panda design is soft, plush, and eye-catching, making it look more like a cuddly toy than a standard children’s bag. Everywhere we go, my toddler receives compliments on it, other parents, teachers, and even older children comment on how sweet and unique it is. My little one actually gets excited to wear it, which is a huge win since it encourages independence and makes leaving the house far easier.
The size and storage capacity are also much better than they appear at first glance. The main pocket looks quite small from the outside because of the rounded, plush shape, but once opened, it surprisingly fits a good amount including snacks, a small water bottle, wipes, and even a comfort toy all fit in with room to spare. There’s also a secure zipper that keeps everything safely inside, which is essential for busy toddlers who loves to run around.

Comfort is another big advantage. The adjustable straps are soft and well-padded, so they don’t dig into little shoulders. The lightweight design means children can wear it for longer outings without feeling weighed down.

Honestly, I feel this should definitely be under every child's Christmas tree this year! :-)
