NEW Bandou Backpack

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.

FAQ

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.
