Earth's Best TenderCare Chlorine Free Baby Wipes Refills, 30-Count Packages (Pack of 24)(720 Wipes)
Received these as a shower gift for baby no. 4 (so I've seen some wipes in the past!). I'm using cloth diapers and wipes, so almost gave them away, but decided to take them on vacation and try them out since laundry facilities were harder to come by. These wipes are awesome! They don't have any sort of smell, chemical or otherwise, they're very very soft, and after having used them on his face, hands, and diaper area, Mr. Eczema had no issues. I bought the travel size in bulk since I'll still use cloth wipes almost all the time, but these are super for when we're out or when laundry falls by the wayside.
BUT when you buy them using this bulk offer you get the travel size packs which do not thread when placed in an existing wipes container, ie: when you pull one out the next one does not follow it and then you are stuck trying to get the top of the wipes container off and then trying to find where the wipe starts all whist trying to keep your squirming baby on the changing table!
We would buy these wipes again but not using this bulk travel size offer.A great price for some great wipes! They do not tear easily and i like
that these are good for the enviorment and chlorine free which is important to me. I suggest you get an extra 15% off by getting them
shipped every month or two..we do that with the Earth Best baby food
jars and that has been a life saver. This is good price for 720 excellent
wipes.I love that these are non-toxic and the size of these packages is perfect to keep in your purse or diaper bag without adding too much weight or bulk. I normally use the Lansinoh wipes, but bought these to use while out. Only negative for me--For some reason the wipes leave a foamy residue when you use them (which dries quickly). I'm not crazy about that since it seems the excess liquid and "soap" make diaper rash more likely and also make me uneasy about using to clean the baby's hands and toys since he'll put them in his mouth. Even though these are non-toxic, I do wish there wasn't so much residue for him to potentially ingest.my only complaint is that these are a little sudsy. but they are very very soft, like pampers sensitive wipes. i am happy to use a product that is safe for the environment.
Gerber Graduates Puffs, 1.48-Ounce Canisters (Pack of 6)
When we first started giving these to our daughters we had to keep a very close eye on them(as with any solid food) because sometimes they would start choking and we would have to stick our fingers in their mouths and get these out.These do 'dissolve' pretty easily but your baby may take a little getting used to eating them like mine did. But in no time they knew how to eat these with OUT choking. I think at first they were just trying to swallow them before they got wet and 'dissolved'.
We have bought Walmart Store Brand & these Gerber Puffs. Walmart Brand is Good but Gerber brand is GREAT! The Gerber Puffs are bigger making them easier for tiny fingers to pick them up, yet they are still a small enough size for them to eat. Walmart Brand have a lot of broken pieces so many of the pieces are tiny and my girls can't pick them up to eat them, I don't know that I have ever found a broken Gerber piece. I think Gerber stays fresh longer, it seems not too long after I open a Walmart Brand they are stale feeling.
Since I have twins we go through these fast so we've found it much cheaper to order them in bulk.
These keep my girls happy while my husband and I eat or get things done. Even if I have just fed my girls, if they see us eating they will have a fit. We put some puffs on their walker or high chair trays and they are Happy again. We even pour these in their play pen & they don't even make a mess. At a restaurant if my girls are getting fussy, we'll keep giving them puffs and they are happy. We give them puffs while we are heating their food, if not they'll normally throw fits until we are feeding them.
We've tried the Gerber flavors: Bananna, Strawberry/Apple, Apple Cinnamon & my girls love them all.

i should have tried this flavor before buying bulk here. my daughter loves puffs in general and she really liked the sweet potato ones we got before this one. but the apple cinnamon flavor is a little too 'artificial' and strong. instead of grabbing them by the handful, she doesn't seem too interested to eat these..Read Best Reviews of Gerber Graduates Puffs, 1.48-Ounce Canisters (Pack of 6) Here

NoJo Emily Reversible High Chair Cover, Pink/Brown
The cover looks nice, well padded, but I can only give it one star because I found that the company is not honest. Before purchasing, I made my research, I called the company to know what materials are used for the cover and the answer I got was the same as in amazon description, it's a cotton/polyester blend. After I got the product I was extremely disappointed: it has a layer of POLYURETHANE coating, which I would never agree to purchase if I knew about it. It feels like plastic and has an unpleasant smell, I'm returning it.

Baby Brezza Food Storage System: Octo
I bought this product thinking it would be great. Nope. First you can't get the lids off easy, esp with baby food in them they spill! The dials, either fall off OR move so they don't even stay on the date you selected. So what is the point? I returned them. What a waste of time, effort and money. Can't wait to get my shipment of hopefully a better brand to store food in.

Well I ordered this mattress just a couple months before my due date. I had unfortunately received the wrong one (one that had seams which probably would've been fine too, however, I wanted to have what I ordered), AND, I have to say I received exceptional help from Erin. The help I received was very efficient, fast, and extremely courteous, and apologetic! I never do reviews, mostly for lack of time. But I just had to say how wonderful the service was that I got. The BEST!! I also got a 10% coupon code for a future purchase. And yes, we're happy with the mattress!!

Nuby 2 Pack Embossed Section Plate
These plates are great for microwaving as they do not have the pictures on them like the Disney and other plates that although marked microwaveable end up bubbling up and chipping over time.Amazon does a poor job with these as they don;t break out the colors (you get random) so buying for a boy the colors they chose for me were pink and purple. I know I took a chance but it would be nice if I didn't have to.
Also, Amazon has a warning for choking due to small parts. These are plastic plates with no pieces. Not sure what child could fit a full plate down their throat.

the main reason I purchased this plate is that it is BPA free. I love the design, the dividers (and the plate itself) are just the right size, and overall it's a cute plate......however........They don't stack!!! I bought 2 two packs, got one that had green and blue and one that had orange and yellow, so I have quite the cute little collection of plates, but you would think they would be designed to stack! I mean, don't get me wrong, it's not like they topple over in my cupboard or anything...they're only 4 high and they're flat, so they do "balance" on top of one another, but it would be so much more convinient (and seemingly quite easy) to design them so that they actually kinda nestle into eachother. That's my only complaint, other than that, they get the job done:)

first of all this plate is sold individually at walmart under walmart's "parent's choice" label, instead of "nuby". the plates are sold individually in the store for $1.50 a plate. it is the exact same plate. same embossed frog/dragonfly design and the back of the plate is imprinted with "nuby".i bought this for my 16 month old. it's perfect for dinner time. the raised walls that divide the plate are tall, which i love. if they're too short the food just gets pushed around the plate. this plate is deep enough to serve as a "bowl" for foods like cottage cheese. it's a great plate for learning to use a spoon and fork. i'll definitely be buying 1 or 2 more.
Freshfoods Mash & Serve Bowl
The description on Amazon and manufacturer web page does not mention anything about being BPA free. I contacted the manufacturer and confirmed it is actually BPA free. That information is on the packing.I tried to mash food using a spoon and it's not as easy as I thought. I like this masher. It's perfect when I only want to prepare one serving of baby food and feed my baby right away. It only takes ~30 seconds to mash one serving of food. Easy to wash, too.
The pieces are dishwasher safe which makes clean up easy.
The bowl has a rubber bottom which makes it slip resistant.
There are grooves in the bowl the provide a nice amount friction for mashing up foods.
It is sturdy and durable.
We have used this for about a month with all kinds of foods: pasta, meats, beans, fruits, veggies, etc. For the cost, I cannot recommend picking up this product enough you will not be disappointed. It more than easily pays for itself in money saved from buying less jars of baby food!
UPDATE:
over 6 months later and we have pretty much stopped using this product as our son is old enough (and has enough teeth) to not need most foods mashed up. Although, he does enjoy potatoes and other veggies mashed up still...so it still gets some occasional use.
This has held up through the entire time we used it and it will be ready to go for our next child! I stand by my original review of this product it was a HUGE help for feeding our son all sorts of table food for many months.
Buy Freshfoods Mash & Serve Bowl Now
I love this food masher! We started feeding my son solid foods at 6 months. By that age he didn't need to eat watery cereal and could eat thicker purees. Some foods, like bananas and strawberries, can be mashed up as is. Some foods, like apples and pears, mash up really well once they are steamed. When he was about 9 months old we started putting whatever we were eating into the masher and it worked out perfectly. We put in pastas, stews, chicken and rice, spaghetti...all mashable! You can even take it to restaurants with you! Rather than spending money on a Baby Bullet, get a few of these!Read Best Reviews of Freshfoods Mash & Serve Bowl Here
The Nuk Bowl and Masher works great for mashing soft fruit and veggies with ease. The masher handle is more comfortable for a smaller/leaner hand like mine than for my husband who has larger/thicker hands. The bowl handle and base helps keep it steady and the groove lines inside lets you grind the food smoothly but still with texture. Clean-up is quite easy as well.I was quite surprise how small it was when I first received it, but it worked out fine because I wasn't planning on making large quantities. Measurement-wise: Handle is 3" wide and 4" long. Bowl is approx. 4.25" at opening and 2" deep. The bowl holds approx. 1 cup of mash food.
There are 4 symbols indicated on the bottom of the bowl.
RECYCLE PLASTIC #7 with code PP/TPE (polypropylene) underneath
The CUP AND FORK symbol for plastic is safe for contact with food
A CROSSED-OUT THERMOMETER symbol with 60 degrees Celsius = 140 degrees Fahrenheit next to it
A CLOCK symbol for when it was manufactured
Now there is some confusion here to the #7 plastic code. Typically #7 is not use with food storage because it considered unsafe. This is because often a # "7" on the bottom in the recycling triangle means the material is polycarbonate, but NOT always. Polycarbonate is the plastic that is made from the chemical Bisphenol-A (BPA.) However the PP code underneath indicates that it is made with polypropylene which is mostly use for tupperware/food storage container marked under code #5, which is safe. Base on my research, whether the code was printed correctly or not, one can only assume that it is made from plastic #7 but from polypropylene and does NOT contain polycarbonate since it's marked as BPA-FREE.
Whether or not the bowl and masher are dishwasher/microwave safe you should use it at your own desertion. There is NO symbol indicating that it is microwave or dishwasher-safe. I would rather be safe then sorry. There has never been the need for me to put it in the microwave since my fruits and veggies were pre-cut then boiled in a small sauce pot or defrosted in a separate bowl. I never had to use the dishwasher either because I always quickly rinse it under hot water and leave it in a Dish Pan Basin soaking in soapy water with all of the other baby tableware. Never like the idea of mixing our dishes, which contains grease, with the baby's bowls and bottles.
The bottom-line:
I think this bowl/masher set is a wonderful tool for making small portion of fresh mash food for babies who have most of their teeth and are already learning to chew and swallow thicker food. It is easy to use and clean. I am not worried about the #7 recycling code bc at the end I will (A) never microwave the bowl, whether it is BPA-free or not, (B) I am not using the bowl as a tableware so my baby never will be chewing on it, (C) I will not store food in it for a long period of time. It was meant for mashing fruit and veggies quickly and it does just that.
Want Freshfoods Mash & Serve Bowl Discount?
I was about to wash and use this product for my baby when I saw at the bottom of the bowl that the plastic recycling sign was #7. I read that #7 is a catch-all category and it may mean it's an ok plastic if it's one of those new biobased plastics. I called the toll-free number listed on the package and was told that the product is made of polypropylene TPE. I read in a few books that it is best to stick to #1, #2, #4 and #5 plastics for babies, so I don't think I will take a chance with this product. It looks like a really good product though and I'm sure it would have been very useful, if not for the #7. I'm giving this a 3-star to be "neutral" since I haven't used this product and can't tell if it's good or not.Save $0.02 Off
Baby Chef Artisan Yogurt Maker
I make yogurt at home everyday and we as a family eat yogurt 2 times a day at the end of each meal( lunch and dinner). Its a south indian thing... I made yogurt at home perfectly well at home all summer without the yogurt maker....but the weather in winter at the place where i live gets really cold and even with heat on at home...i was not able to make good yogurt. Then at last i purchased this yogurt maker. This works perfectly. I do the exact same thing with my milk that i used to do before, bring it to boil, cool it down till its just luke warm and then mix some yogurt from the previous day into it as culture and keep it into this yogurt maker and turn it on...and next morning i have perfect yogurt.This yogurt maker comes with 4 , 5 ounce jars. These too worked out great for me. I make different kinds of yogurt now everyday in these jars. yogurt with whole milk for my kids and yogurt with fat free milk for myself and husband. I also purchased on big bowl from walmart that fits perfectly into this yogurt maker...for days when I need more yogurt when we have ppl over and stuff...and it makes more than 1/2 litre of yogurt......
I usually let the milk sit in the maker for 6 hours to make sweet/non-sour perfect yogurt for daily consumption. But when i need sour yogurt for some dish ( like rava idli) and stuff I let it sit for 8 -10hrs and it works out great.
It consumes very less power, this device comsumes only 11 watts and so haven't seen any noticeable difference in my electric bill too..
i would definitely recommend this yogurt maker to singles or small family who don't actually require big amount of yogurt daily/weekly.

Makes good yogurt...now. On first try I used Trader Joe's 2% milk and Greek Gods plain yogurt as starter, used the amount suggested in the instructions, 1/2 cup i think. I heated the milk & cooled down beforehand, left in for 8 hours. Result was runny & inconsistent setting, inedible and too sour. Second try I used Strauss Family 2% milk and two generous tablespoons of Fage plain, heated/cooled milk beforehand, plus put a paper towel in the machine, under the jars. (I suspect the floor of the machine gets too hot for cultures to survive, don't need too much starter). Result was perfect yogurt after 8 hours, thick & creamy even without straining. Very happy esp since Amazon price was only $18 for new.Read Best Reviews of Baby Chef Artisan Yogurt Maker Here
it does the job, and does it well. i'm not using dried starter, but the store bought yogurt as starter, and it works well. i start it before bed, and in the morning my yogurt is ready! so convenient! i use organic milk, no additives, no food color, no corn syrup, no preservatives, awesome! i would recommend this to my friends.Want Baby Chef Artisan Yogurt Maker Discount?
I chose this one since it was the perfect size for me since I'm single. The instructions say to use 1/2 c plain yogurt or starter, 4 cups of milk, and 1/4c to 1/2 c instant non fat dry milk powder. I didn't do that. First off, the 4 cups of milk is way too much and will not fit in the glass containers.I used 3 cups of organic, ultra pasteurized(UHT) milk and about 1 1/2 Tbsp of Fage 2% plain Greek yogurt. If you use UHT milk you don't have to parboil. I wasn't thrilled about using nonfat dry milk so I left that out. Came out perfect for my tastes. I pulled out two at about 7 hours and the other 2 after about 15 hours. I didn't notice a huge difference in tartness but the consistency for the ones that stayed in longer was a tiny bit thicker. I mostly use yogurt for smoothies so I don't need it to be very thick. The consistency reminds me of yogurt you can get in Europe or Asia. Next time I may try using a full fat, organic Greek yogurt as a starter and see how it comes out. I also saw a recipe that uses 2 c milk and only 2 tsps of yogurt as a starter. I just got this yesterday so I'm still in the testing stages but I totally love it so far and would recommend this to anyone!

These are exactly the kinds of tubings that work with Symphony breast pumps. We needed to get replacement tubing, but the only option that we saw in most stores was to get the whole pumping set, which was a bit of an overkill.

California Baby Calendula Cream
This is great for babies with sensitive skin or suffering from eczema. I think it comes from the sweat during the warmer months. None of the other baby lotions or creams work as well as the Calendula has for us. The itching would make my daughter scream for hours on end. It was really disheartening. No matter what we tried we couldn't get her any relief unless she soaked in a bath, and we could only do that for so long. The calendula helps eliminate itch and inflammation which seems to have worked well. Be aware of the ingredients thoughmarigold being the main ingredient could have adverse effects for children with allergies.My daughter also gets a lot of diaper rash from not only going to the bathroom but the combination of it and sweat. For that, I use a specific natural diaper rash cream by DesitinDesitin Creamy Diaper Rash Ointment + FREE Baby Ganics Thick N' Kleen (Fragrance Free) Baby Wipes. It's an ointment but it's creamy so it absorbs quickly. A dash of the Calendula on top of the diaper rash cream seems to help soothe the pain a little quicker for her.
The Calendula also has a really pleasant smell. It works on the entire body. I just avoid using it on her face in case she were to ingest it. Even though it's natural I feel more comfortable shielding that possibility. Make sure you find the original blend though, I've seen a lot of complaints of a 'new formula' but I've yet to encounter it myself.
I also want to note that it wasn't until my son started reacting to it that I even compared the labels --no notification of reformulation on the new containers at all -completely unethical -so very disappointed.

When my daughter turned 2 months old she broke out in eczema. It was all over her body and severe. We tried a number of different moisturizers: aquaphor, eucerin, Burt's Bees, nutraderm, lubriderm, to name a few. This lotion was the first that began to manage her eczema. Now, along with the lotion daily and the use of hydrocortisone she only needs spot treatment. Although the cost is high we consider it worth it and buy this in bulk so it's always on hand.
Happy Baby Organic Strawberry Puffs (3x2.1oz)
My children (ages 2 and 6) both love Strawberry PUFFS! They are a great snack for on the go. My little ones are older than the "average Puff eater" :) and yet they ask for these all the time. The strawberry flavor is light, not too sweet. And the Puffs seem to melt in your mouth-much softer than O cereals. I especially like that these Puffs have considerably less sugar than the other brands, the ingredients are natural and organic. I was also happy that the packaging is recycled and the lid is easy to open for pouring or for reaching in to grab Puffs. Overall love these Puffs and they are a MUST HAVE in our home! :)
Sassy Baby Less Mess Toddler Bowl with Lid, Colors May Vary
I've been using two of these for about 3 months now, and while on a particularly fussy day, my 10 month old can manage to pull it off the high chair tray or kitchen table(glass top), on well-mannered days(99%), there are no accidental spills, the bowl stays in place as he tries to pick up pieces of cereal or mush a finger through a creamy mix of fruit and instant cereal. Plus, since he has to really try to take it off, that gives me enough warning to take it away once he only wants to play, unless of course bath time is coming up:-) My friends' 2 year old, loves this bowl stuck to the kitchen table top as he eats tricky things like ice cream. he just has to deal with the goopy stuff not with the bowl moving all over the place too! the double level is a good idea for this older age group where they use a spoon themselves.I found that the suction base does lose suction power if you put it thro the dishwasher on the 160 degree "sanitizing" cycle, so I just handwash the sticky part, and of course, don't microwave it either.

i have found that the suction bowls not only help you to teach your baby how to feed themselves, but it also helps you to keep your table area clean. The bowl cover offers a way to fix your childs meals in bulk and store them in a way that is safe and easy to put away. All you have to do later on is heat food to right temperature and stick it down.

Suction bowls are a GREAT idea, too bad this one doesn't have any suction! Initially, it sticks to my little ones high chair tray, but after about a minute, it comes loose completely. I even moisten the bottom to create more suction, and that still doesn't work. The only way it sticks to the her tray is if I constantly push on it. Save your money and try something else. I'm currently looking for a new suction bowl. For more reviews and ideas, visit my blog
Gerber Graduates Mealtime Organizer
The color is random, so we got blue and it matches my daughter's backpack.I got this container after seeing a similar one at pottery barn kids. This one is less expensive, but actually looks better in person (and more functional). It doesn't look childish in any way and can easily be used as a lunchbox insert or on it's own. The container perfectly fits inside the standard lunch box (it's easier for my 1st grader to carry around and lunchboxes are insulated too). One of the departments has a leak proof lid though I have never tried putting liquid in it since I prefer to use the Thermos Foogo for soups and such. It works good for pasta with sauce though. I've made a mistake by putting in hot pasta once. Don't do it. The lid "sucks in" and it's impossible for little hands to open.
P.S. Dishwasher safe, BPA free and lead free
My daughter is five years old so I wanted something that would have an easy lid for her to take off, but also be able to securely snap the lid back down this was the only container I could find like that and it has worked great! When she opens her lunchbox, she just keeps the container inside the lunchbox and flips the lid open. She likes it cause she doesn't have to take anything out of her lunchbox and all her food is neatly in front of her and ready to eat. She doesn't have to deal with opening a ton of baggies.
I really like that it comes with a small lid to fit over one of the smaller sections in the container. It has rubber around it so it secures on tightly. I wouldn't trust that lid to keep in liquid, but I always put things like fresh fruit (which of course has some juice), hummus, guacamole, apple sauce, etc. in it and it never leaks into other sections of the container.
Some reviewers have commented about there not being enough room for ice packs or juice boxes. I always put a juice box and two ice packs in the lunchbox, underneath the container. I have used different ice packs with this, but my favorite are flat, plastic ice packs. We use the top compartment for kids-size utensils and napkins. There is also a space on the lid to slide in a picture or note for your child this has been fun for us!
I highly recommend putting this container in a lunchbox! We have never tried sending this to school on it's own and I don't think that would be a good idea with any container. It fits perfectly in our "standard size" rectangular lunchbox.
This container has been perfect for my 5 year old's lunches! This is very reasonably priced, so I didn't mind at all spending a bit of money to try it out. We bought one at Target and loved it so much that we purchased a second one at Wal-mart. (we have both pink and blue. I have no idea why it is listed as red it is definitely pink!)
Great product!!!

I was surprised that this lunchbox is the same size as the laptop lunch bento boxes which are ~9"x9.2"x2.5" (I didn't actually measure it, but I set it on top of the laptop lunch box and it's almost exact.) I assumed for the price and the target age range (and since dimensions aren't published here) that it must be pretty small. It's an amazing deal compared to other bento box-style lunch boxes that go for about 5 times as much. It fits right inside my son's regular lunchbox, and is easy for my preschooler to open we practiced at home :). I like that the top compartment can hold an ice pack, or a longer snack you don't want to get crushed like cereal bars. Since the top compartment opens from the outside, it's also a good spot for "snack" vs. lunch, so kids don't have to open everything up to get their snack out. The main compartment has plenty of room for a full-size sandwich. It's annoying that you can't choose the colors, but I got lucky and received the colors I wanted. I haven't tested the holding power of the lidded compartment yet, where I plan to put the yogurt.Read Best Reviews of Gerber Graduates Mealtime Organizer Here
This container is perfect for our daycare needs -it has three sections, including one with an air-tight lid for fruits or vegetables, and a great little area on the top where you can leave a message or picture -and it's dishwasher (top rack) safe. The only drawback is that it's hard to find, and I paid less than half the price offered through Amazon's seller at Walmart, plus no shipping charges. Hopefully Amazon will carry this terrific product soon.Want Gerber Graduates Mealtime Organizer Discount?
As a first time lunch packer, I wasn't too sure what I was looking for, but didn't want items just rattling around loose in the soft sided lunch box. I ended up with two of the pink boxes and they have worked just fine. I often pack the pureed fruit pouches and the big knobby caps don't really fit well enough for the box to snap shut. On the flip side, sandwiches stay pretty intact. My daughter just turned three and she does have some trouble getting the inside lid off, but I suspect most kids using this will be a bit older.
Skip Hop Zoo Pack Little Kid Backpack
The backpack itself is adorable. I got it for my daughter who is in Kindergarten and she loves it. The only problem, and it is a significant one, is that it's not big enough to hold a single standard 8.5"x11" size folder. Which is quite disappointing for both of us. She really wants to wear it to school, but can't because her homework folder won't fit. If they would have made it just a couple of inches larger, the folder would fit perfectly and it would probably be the best backpack ever. That couple of inches difference makes it unusable for us.If you don't need to fit anything in there that's as large as an unfolded sheet of standard size paper in there, I would recommend this backpack.

This backpack is so cute I can hardly stand it. But be warned that it is definitely a backpack made for toddlers, not really for school-age children. I use it mainly to cart around my 2 year-old son's toys and books in my car in case I need to keep him entertained somewhere but there is not a whole lot of room in the backpack.Read Best Reviews of Skip Hop Zoo Pack Little Kid Backpack Here
I bought the dog backpack for my two year old son. He's about 35" tall and it's still slightly big for him, but at least it will last him a while. It's absolutely adorable and it's perfect for short trips. It holds a few diapers, some wipes, a toy and a snack with no problem. One of my favorite features is the cupholder on the side for sippy cups. I was initially a little worried about the material because it is so light in color. I figured it would be filthy in no time, but to my surprise, it wipes clean very easily. I looked at a lot of toddler backpacks before I bought this one and I'm happy with my purchase.Want Skip Hop Zoo Pack Little Kid Backpack Discount?
I love this cute little back pack. My son is 1 and we use it to carry his daily supplies back and forth to daycare and as a substitute diaper bag. He likes the bright colors and he knows it's his bag. We get lots of compliments on it where ever we go. It's the perfect size for a toddler and the straps are adjustable. It's sturdy and well made, and though it's on the small side, it holds just the right amount of stuff, (which for us is a lot since I'm an over-packer anyway). The name-tag inside didn't bleed and run when I wrote my son's name on it like most fabric tags do. The front pocket is great for the things you need more frequently like kleenux, and small toys, and it has a loop you can hook your keys onto. The side pouch is the perfect fit for a sippy cup. I so glad I got this; I just ordered the matching lunchbox and if I'm half as happy with it as I am with this backpack I'll be really pleased.Two weeks after I posted this review, and after barely 2 months of use, the zipper for the main compartment broke. I was heartbroken. I searched everywhere for the receipt so I could call for a possible replacement, but no luck. I spent an hour trying to repair it, which to my amazement, I eventually did, but now I feel that it's fragile and I'm waiting for it to break again. So I wanted to add this warming. Do not over-pack and stretch the zipper, it's only plastic and will stretch and bend. Keep an eye on the teeth as you can see them separating and that is your warning of impending breakage.
I know this is made for little kids, but if I was the maker of this product I think that I would use a metal zipper for the main compartment as they are stronger and can take a lot more abuse than a plastic one.
I still love and would recommend this product, I'd just be a little more careful with it.
It's now been 9 months since I repaired the zipper and I haven't had a single problem with it since then. And, we LOVE the lunch box just as much as the backpack.
