Skip Hop Toddler Backpack Leash, Zoo, Fox

Use it for festivals, farmers markets, walks, going to to river ect

This is a very cute and small little back pack. I wanted one that wouldn’t be too big for my 20 month old and it was the perfect size for her. We never intended to use the leash aspect so I have no comment on that but the bag itself she loves.

I have a very adventurous toddler, with no fear of strangers or new places. I needed something cute and fun to help keep them from becoming a street pancake. This fox backpack checks all the boxes!Cute and fun? Check! Toddler loves to pack snacks and toys into it, and then pull things out while we are on our adventures.Functional? Also yes. It clips across the chest and has very sturdy straps, so I have no fear of it ripping, falling off, or being undone by the same toddler. However, if your kid knows how to unclip their car seat? This may not be the backpack for you. For those of us whose toddlers haven't learned that yet- it's a win. I get a lot of parents asking about it, and I still 100% recommend this one.

Baby started walking just before 9 months. The leash gave him freedom to move as a very mobile boy before he was able to follow commands. Now that has learned how to hold hands, I keep it on my wrist just as a backup.The backpack is adorable and the mini is big enough to carry diapers, wipes, and snacks. I use it instead of a big diaper bag for errands. Baby carries his own essentials.Very durable, high quality, easy to adjust straps that stay in place. I have thrown it in the washing machine, and it came out well.

Nice and tiny for my toddler. Super cute.Fits one or two diapers, a really thin wipes bag, a thinner water bottle and a snack sized baggie of goldfish.Downside is the straps are really close together and sewn straight. They rub the heck out of my son’s neck until it’s red. There should really be a curvature to the top part of the straps to form around the neck. Or at least make the fabric smoother in that area.I noticed some people in the reviews got a certain carabiner clip and others got the one I got which is like the photos. Nothing bad about it just something I noticed.

My children are escape artists. They can sense the exact moment when nobody is looking -like if I am working on putting food on the table at a picnic and I turn away for a minute or less and they are gone - so something like this became a necessity for safety. I used one with each of my kids. My now 8 year old had a monkey when he was a toddler, my now 6 year old had a dinosaur, and now my 2 year old got the fox. My kids loved carrying their own backpacks. I think it made them feel more grown up. I put their diapers and their wipes in them so I can just carry my normal bag and a sippy. They buckle in the front, but so do the adult backpacks we use on family outings so the kids think it’s normal. These are durable, super cute, and give piece of mind. 100% recommend if you are needing a better way to keep track of your kids in a crowded zoo or anything.

Quality is good and the backpack part is the perfect size for snacks and a drink.I use this when I have to buckle my baby in the stroller and keep my toddler close. It also works as an easy way to grab them if they start wondering off.We are teaching him to hold our hands while walking, but if we need to grab him fast the handle on the backpack works great too.

Toddler couldn’t be more proud to carry around own backpack. We’ve had the pack for several months and it seems very sturdy, well-built— and oddly enough it hasn’t gotten dirty yet, despite being dropped on and landed on in asphalt parking lots. (Great bonus!!) Lightens some of the load from the diaper bag and lets toddler feel more independent.Best of all, the leash works. My only wish is that there was a second front-buckle lower on the backpack, since the whole unit can shift when the toddler pulls against it, but otherwise it’s great. The D-ring is solid and I’m not worried about it breaking when pressure is applied.My toddler straight up refuses to hold hands and is super persistent and curious, and like to run straight into the road or to heavy machinery. My back is still compromised from pregnancy, and I wanted to let the kid burn off energy by being mobile (not stuck in a stroller), so this is a promising solution. I thought our toddler would have been resistant to the leash or throw a fit, but so far it’s been fine with just a little complaining on tough days. If nothing else, the fox pack is absurdly adorable and that alone was worth the purchase price.
