My kids just started camp, and a friend was saying that her now 8 year old daughter was mortified to still be carrying a character backpack sending my friend on a futile search for a girlie bag that wasn't too juvenile, but still youthful, and as per her daughter's request different from everyone else's bag. I believe her exact words were, "I have to have my own style mom!"
I ran right home, and e-mailed my friend a link to the Lug Mini Puddle Jumper in bubblegum pink.
Made from nylon, the bag is light enough that an 8 year old is only limited by the weight of her own possessions (though all that High School Musical stuff, hair accessories, pencils, and tchotchkies can get heavy!).
The bag has lots of pockets for all those aforementioned tchotchkies, as well as a cosmetic pocket with it's own mirror, and one of the most brilliant features of all, an insulated self cooler compartment. Perfect for bottles of water, snacks, and lunch. Her mom is considering one in a more grown up grey for the beach, because the cooler compartment is great for temperature hating electronics like a Blackberry, iPod, or iPhone...it's not just for kids.
The only drawback is that it is not a backpack, but the 8 year old liked that it was more grown up.
The Lug Mini Puddle Jumper in pink (or grey, or black, red, turquoise, or green) is $52 at Deva Shop. Get an extra 15% off at checkout for the month of July with the code "July08".
