Walk with a penguin
Author: Kat Powers | May 15, 2008
Now that we’ve been moved from wait-list to enrolled for the preschool a short walk from our house, I’m desperately looking for backpacks for my little guy.
It needs to be able to fit a tiny blanket, his baby stuffed dog, and it has to be small enough for him to carry himself.
Here’s the thing. Most backbacks for children are actually hurting them, and its creating a problem.
So I was delighted to find Davis Squared in Somerville has toddler-sized Little Pack Rats backpacks — and they are very cool looking. I like the penguin with the 3-D wings. He’s vinyl, wipe-able, and $42 — pricey, unless you realize what we’re saving in physical therapy down the road. It is roomy for being 7 inches wide and 11 inches high — and it says it will fit a waterbottle and snacks.
Oh good. Maybe we’ll buy it a few months early and test drive it during those hot trips to the playground.
