The good life for LittleLife


I was so delighted to find the perfect toddler backpack for my kid that I decided to order them for my store. I was so delighted about the packs, in fact, that I told other moms about it, including that powerful network of Moms-who-Blog. And today, some of these moms have given it the thumbs up.

The LittleLife animal backpacks are featured as a must-have item at Sweetmama.ca and at WeeWelcome.

I am also happy to be able to offer stuff at my store that suits both little girls and boys. I want to make sure boys have cool choices for clothes and gear, but I'm all for equality, after all.

One other noteworthy thing about these packs: they are of excellent quality.

Since the WeeWelcome blog post is on the reduce/reuse/recycle theme, I wanted to share my thoughts on this. I think most people forget the "reuse" portion of the equation. The products I carry, and this one in particular, are well made and durable. It means this $45 backpack is going to be in good enough shape to be handed down to the next toddler long after your kid has outgrown it.

In the meantime, I bet there are tons of $9.99 ripped backpacks with broken zippers in our landfills. A better quality product made by a reputable organization like LittleLife is also more likely to offer better wages to the workers who stitch and assemble these products compared to products with logos violating cartoon trademarks and copyrights and made by some fly-by-night hustler obviously out to just make a buck. I, as a business, care about these things and I only stock products that I, in good conscience, will buy personally.
