Wallets and backpacks for nursery, which one to choose?

I could not say how many I have because the truth is that they are many and varied. This type of backpacks are very versatile, spacious, with bright colors and sometimes decorated with their favorite characters or animals. Noah has had all kinds, being his favorite when he was little a wallet he had from Marius and still keeps.

What should daycare backpacks look like?

 

Although there are countless models and different types, I catalog them in two varieties: wallet version or backpack version. Change the shape, because even those that are wallet type have adjustable straps like backpacks. Noah already carries giant backpacks to school, but speaking of this type of backpacks for kindergarten now it is Alma who uses them and has chosen the same character of Lilliputiens as her favorite. As a strong point, they are ergonomic!, their straps are padded and adjustable. They will be able to carry them themselves without risk of injury or discomfort.

The backpacks and wallets of this brand have multiple pockets and dividers that make it easier for us to divide and take advantage of space. An adjustable strap also usually comes to hold your water bottles or bottles so that they do not tip over or spill.
We released a new Marius wallet model wider than the one Noah had, also made with recycled PET material. You can see it in more detail in this link of the Lilliputiens website.

 

 

Backpacks that they can carry themselves.

When I was very young, I made the mistake of taking very small and beautiful backpacks in which I really did not fit everything I had to carry. Those are great for them to carry their lunches and some toys, but to use as a preschool backpack or weekend bag, one of about 25 or 30 cm is better. Ideally, it should be of an optimal size so that they can carry it themselves and thus, gain autonomy, so pay attention to them being light and ergonomic.

 

The strong point of these backpacks is their versatility, which serves both for nursery school and to spend a day out. That’s why I find a thousand options as to what to put in it: they can be the things they ask us in the store such as diapers, changes and lunch or toys to be away from home, snack and utensils for the park …

Choose one that is easy to identify.

If we continue to think about the autonomy of children, I like to wear objects and clothes that they themselves can identify and recognize without needing an adult to tell them “this is yours”.
To do this, I opt for backpacks with unusual colors or drawings or that have something that makes them different. If they have a badge or identifier to put the name I also use it and thus take advantage of recognizing it when they see it written. That’s why I like so much to use Marius’ backpacks and accessories, he is a character that they already know and having a few of his things at home, they know that it is theirs … and there’s no confusion because he’s not a Mickey-type character who’s in every school and in every park.

 

Important: easy to wash.

Beware of some cute backpacks with beautiful drawings or textures that when you wash them for the first time you find that they can only be washed by hand or in cold water under the risk of carrying it. Ideally, they can be washed in the washing machine at 30º and that it does not have delicate parts that may not come out of that adventure unscathed.
Let’s keep in mind a fact: the backpack is going to get dirty quite often, they will be used by very young children who will throw them on the ground, sit on top or touch them with their sticky hands after snacking or playing in the sand.

Accessories to match your Lilliputiens backpacks.

As many of you already know, the collections of Lilliputiens are based on their own characters and there is usually a whole range of objects and toys of each one that will match. One of our favorite characters is Marius since Noah always chose him in his accessories and although you would expect Alma to opt for Louis or Alice because she already has things with those characters, the truth is that she also has a certain preference for the rhinoceros.

For the children’s school we have chosen one of the backpacks for nursery in wallet format that occupies as much as her, but it is spacious enough to put the change clothes, her diapers, the bottle of water, lunch, her favorite stories and some stuffed animal or musical doll.
We have also taken the bottle and lunch box to match.

 

Both are made of stainless steel, which means that they maintain the temperature well and that the food does not acquire odors or flavors. It is a material that is easily cleaned and are made without nooks and crannies where dirt can accumulate.
The canteen has a rubber band at its base that facilitates the grip by the small hands and has an anti-leakage system with its rotating plug with reusable and washable straw.
The lunch box, on the other hand, is resistant and easy to handle by children. The lid fits without any difficulty and has an extra elastic band to ensure that it does not open by accident when transported.

Obviously, they match the wallet and the protagonist is Marius. From their collection for nursery school or excursions they also have the thermal bag to put food, another essential with children. And well, not only Mario, they have the bags, bottles and lunch boxes of other characters of the brand.
