Back to School with Bixbee Animal Pack Backpacks
This year marks the first year my 3-year-old niece will be headed to preschool and I wanted to find her a backpack she would love! One that not only provides enough room for her to carry everything she needs, but one that was special, unique and adorable – just like her!
Do you remember the excitement of starting a new school year? Going to pick out your clothes, school supplies and a new backpack? This year Bixbee is making finding the perfect backpack for your little one easy with one of their adorable kid’s backpacks.
About Bixbee Backpacks
Bixbee’s backpacks are much more than just a typical everyday backpack made to carry a child’s belongings and schoolwork around. These designer backpacks have been created to where they combine function with durability, fun and fashion. Each brightly colored backpack is specifically designed for a child’s unique measurements, and features a patented horizontal design with unique ergonomic attributes that allows the weight to be carried at waist level, which is exactly what The American Occupational Therapy Association, Inc. recommends. This horizontal design also keeps supplies within easy reach.
In addition, each Bixbee backpack is made from a water-resistant 600-denier polyester, and is lightweight, durable and comfortable weighing around 1.6 pounds or less. A padded back panel adds to the comfort level, and even when filled to the brim, their backpacks rest comfortably on little shoulders, thanks to the contoured shoulder straps with cushy padding. Multiple pockets – both inside and out – allow ample room for supplies, including two side pockets which are the perfect size for water bottles and cell phones. Plus,Bixbee’s backpacks and all of their other products are certified PVC, BPA, lead and phthalate free.
Yet best of all is the Bixbee ‘One Here, One There’ Program. This is where for every backpack purchased, Bixbee donates a FREE backpack FILLED with school supplies to a child in need! How awesome is that? So you see, it’s a win/win situation. Your child gets an adorable backpack and you are also helping children across the world!
The Bixbee Owl Pack Backpack
Bixbee offers a huge selection of backpacks, available in many styles and sizes. One of my favorite collections are their Animal Packs, and this is where I found the perfect one for my niece, the Owl Pack backpack!
This adorable backpack seriously rocks for little girls ages 3 and up! Designed to look just like an owl – with wings and all – it is full of space and has a huge “awwwww” factor! It measures around 12.5 inches wide, 4 inches deep, and 10 inches high – making it perfect for kids between 36 and 42 inches in height – and only weighs a mere 0.80 pounds! While my niece is going to love the way it looks, Mom is definitely going to appreciate the reinforced base, and the fact that the bag is detailed with a reflective material for better visibility in low light. Plus, it’s easy to clean: simply use a damp cloth then allow to air dry.
The Owl Pack backpack will hold everything your little one needs for preschool or school including books, folders, crayons, markers, a lunch bag, blanket and more. The cover flap opens to the main compartment which offers plenty of space for supplies, and also has two slip pockets which are the perfect size for holding small necessities such as pencils and crayons.
On the inside of the cover flap is a small laminated pocket with an ID card where you can add your child’s information including name, school and grade.
I know my niece is going to love the easy-to-grab beehive shaped zipper pulls that close the main compartment! And there are also two D-rings, one on each side below the zipper pulls, where she can clip on her favorite accessories!
Three more pockets are on the outside of the backpack including a pocket on the front which closes securely with a velcro closure, and two slightly expandable side pockets which are perfect for water bottles and snacks.
In addition to the contoured, padded straps, there is also has a padded topside carrying handle so it can be carried in her hand if she doesn’t want it on her back.
My Opinion of the Bixbee Owl Pack backpack
Bixbee’s Owl Pack literally has everything a child – and a parent – could want in a backpack and more! I simply cannot wait to see the expression on my niece’s face when she sees this! Plus, not only is this cute backpack ideal for school, it’s also perfect for sleepovers, trips and more. And did I mention that Bixbee also makes a matching lunchbox? In fact, they make lots of great lunch boxes, many of which match their backpacks, as well as duffles, wristlets, purses and more!
This school year, before you head out to find the perfect backpack, be sure to check out Bixbee’s backpacks first! And don’t forget, for each one you buy, Bixbee will donate another one, filled with school supplies, to a child in need! Happy Shopping!
