As The Boy is now toilet trained, I've carefully put away my mahoosive changing bag and brought out something that I haven't used in two years; a handbag! Not needing to carry around oodles of spare nappies, or bibs, or bodies, etc. has seriously reduced the size and amount of things I do need to have with me. And now that The Boy is more independent, when we do go out, he can and likes to carry his own bag with a few toys in it to play with.
Luckily we were recently sent a gorgeous rucksack from Pink Lining to review. Pink Lining are probably better known for their absolutely gorgeous selection of change-bags; trendy and stylish, cute but modern. However, they also have a selection of children's bags and it is one of these that we were sent.
Isn't it cute? The main fabric of the bag is called 'red busses' and is really self-explanatory as it's covered in a red bus print. It also appears to be waxed or finished with a waterproof coating, which is great as wet books are a bit rubbish for drawing in. On the front is a really adorable denim pocket with a dinosaur and the word 'Grrr!' embroidered on it. At Β£15, this is a really good quality, long-lasting rucksack for your little ones. The straps are thick so as not to cut in, and adjustable so that they don't slip off little shoulders.
