Testing the LittleLife Dinosaur Toddler Backpack

The design itself looks stunning. "I really like the design of the bag and my little boy got loads of compliments whilst wearing it," revealed one mum, happily telling us that "it is a really fun design which is attractive to small children whilst also being really practical and not compromising on safety". Another parent told us that "It’s in an awesome dinosaur design that makes my son excited to wear... the quality is amazing, my 2-year-old is a huge fan!"

There's plenty of room inside once the kids are wearing it too! "My twin nephews are just over a year old, so into exploring and everything," stated a pleased family member, letting us know that "they loved popping little snacks and such inside and using it like a proper backpack". "We all loved the fact that the size is perfect for toddlers. It meant that my little boy can be a bit more independent, carrying his own water bottle and snack in a bag that isn't too big for his small body," claimed another tester.

"It feels well made and safe and secure, which is the most important thing when taking small children out and about," revealed another happy parent. Others agreed with the safety of the backpack, with one mum telling us that "the rein felt sturdy with a very secure hook attaching it to the bag," and another stating: "My child is 15 months and is walking, he is full of energy and not overly keen to always hold your hand, this gave him great freedom with the added benefit of safety."

Even with heavy wear, this backpack should last for a while - one tester called it "perfect, exactly what it should be and does what it should do," before confirming that it was "worth buying" because "it's strong and spacious". Another satisfied mum told us: "The backpack materials were of a high quality and it seemed really sturdy and well made. It looks as though it would last a long time."

Final verdict

Overall, this was a real hit with testers and their families. "I loved this toddler backpack and so did my son. The fact it was designed in a way that appealed to my child is great; he needed no encouragement to pop the backpack on," revealed a pleased mum. It sounds like an excellent way to get your little one involved in carrying their own bits and bobs, and keep them safe at the same time.
