Ecogear have added new Dually backpacks, especially created for kids, to its sustainable accessories line.
All Dually backpacks are crafted entirely from natural, water-resistant cotton. The fabric is then colored with non-toxic dyes. The material is complemented by recycled plastic components. Its straps are padded to protect young shoulders, and they’re perfectly proportioned for tiny bodies. I also really like the insulated cooler compartment built into the front pocket, which should keep snacks and drinks cool at school or the playground.
The colors and prints are very clearly designed to appeal to common gender lines, which may disappoint more liberal parents. That old pink is for girls and blue is for boys notion is a bit tired, yet here we see solid pink and blue, and patterns with pink bears and blue dinosaurs. At least the blue and pink aren’t those sickly sweet shades that adorn baby clothes. Even so, some more colors that aren’t so gender divisive would really widen the Dually backpacks appeal.
If you’ve fallen for the Dually backpacks I’d snap one up quickly. They’re currently priced at just $19 for an introductory period. I’m not sure how expensive they’ll be once that time’s lapsed, but I wouldn’t wait around to find out! They’re available now from the Ecogear website.
