We Asked Real Parents Their Thoughts On Our Backpacks!

on Jul 25 2025

Choosing the perfect backpack for your little one is more than just picking something cute—it needs to keep up with busy school days, exciting trips, fun sleepovers, and family adventures. We know how important that choice is, so we asked our customers to share their reviews of our backpacks!

Which backpack do you have for your little ones?

Danielle @our_dream_norfolk_home - Personalised Lion Medium Backpack


Sophie @lifewiththelittlelees - Personalised Hedgehog Mini Backpack


Jess @the.early.girls - Personalised Butterfly Printed Cord Mini Backpack & Personalised Quilted Navy Floral Mini Grab Handle Backpack


Rebecca @theallanhome - Personalised Rainbow Stripe Medium Backpack

How old is/are your little one(s)?

Danielle @our_dream_norfolk_home - My little girl is three years old and my baby boy is four months old. 

 

Sophie @lifewiththelittlelees - My little ones are 7 months & 23 months 


Jess @the.early.girls -  I have Harper who is 3 and Ivy who is 9 months. 


Rebecca @theallanhome - My girls are 5 and 3 years old.

What is your favourite feature of the backpack?

Danielle @our_dream_norfolk_home - My favourite feature of the backpacks is the drinks holder section as it enables my daughter to pop in her drink for nursery. I also love the personalised backpacks so that I know she won’t lose her backpack. 

 

Sophie @lifewiththelittlelees - I love how spacious the backpack is and my son’s favourite is the design! He’s obsessed with animals so keeps looking at the bag and roaring.


Jess @the.early.girls -  Aside from the personalisation, I love the actual size of the backpack. It’s big enough to fit in all of the essentials but not having to carry around huge bags which can be very inconvenient with being a mum of 2!


Rebecca @theallanhome - It’s hard to choose just one, but I’d say the practicality – it fits A4 books, a tablet, and even has a space for a water bottle, all while still being lightweight and comfy for little shoulders. The gorgeous rainbow design and personalisation are a big bonus too!

Will you be reusing the backpack for any other uses, such as Summer Holiday travels?

Danielle @our_dream_norfolk_home - My favourite feature of the backpacks is the drinks holder section as it enables my daughter to pop in her drink for nursery. I also love the personalised backpacks so that I know she won’t lose her backpack. 


Sophie @lifewiththelittlelees - Yes we are heading out on our first family holiday abroad and so excited to be taking their backpacks on the plane! 


Jess @the.early.girls - We will be reusing the backpacks for all of our days out and as the girls carry on bags for the airplane! I love having a separate bag for each of them as it keeps me organised and Harper of course likes to carry her own! 


Rebecca @theallanhome - Definitely! We will be reusing throughout the summer, and for the new term in September.

Would you recommend our backpacks to your friends and family?

Danielle @our_dream_norfolk_home - I would highly recommend the bags to my friends and family because they are perfect for Nursery/School. They are amazing quality and last so long. They can be used for children’s hobbies throughout the week too. Also for sleepovers to pop in essentials. 


Sophie @lifewiththelittlelees - Yes, from the packaging in the My 1st Years box to the quality of the backpack with personalisation they make the perfect gift.


Jess @the.early.girls - 1000%! I already recommend them to everyone I know! 


Rebecca @theallanhome - Absolutely – they’re fantastic quality, beautifully designed, and feel really well made. My girls love them!
