• Japanese Randoseru Backpack

  I realize I've been writing a lot about backpacks, but I've found another that I also had to share. It might not have a pigeon or a cuddly character, but the Japanese Randoseru backpack is so cool you might be able to get your kid to use it for multiple school years. Read More...

  I was checking out the Babble Boards last night and I saw this thread, "What is the best baby carrier?". We've always been a traditional Baby Bjorn family ourselves, but Babble reader HipMom76 had this suggestion - the BabyHawk. I'd never seen one before, but it's nice to see products that are this functional and very customizable. Read More...

• Back to School Drool: Room Seven School Bag Makes Me Meowwrrr!

  My therapist will be getting an earful this week about the emotions I got after seeing this bag.  I recall the popular girls in my classes sporting pretty pink bags and matching pencils, all the while I brought my books in a brown sack.  Okay, maybe it wasn't that bad, but those girls never had anything like this! Snag this scrumptious schoolbag and avoid future therapy for $118 at Adorables.  Unless of course you insist on buying it for your son.

• Backpack Boasts Big Sound

  This backpack was only a matter of time with the influx of MP3 players our kids are toting. Save their eardrums from too-loud headphones and allow them to share their music with Global Design Concept's new NXT ™ speaker technology backpack. I know my 8 year old would love to rock out to tunes with his buddies and this way, they can sing and play air guitar to Green Day on the playground. Easy to use, kids plug their music playing device into a standard headphone jack, turn on the amplifier and press play.   The backpack, which retails from $59.99 - $79.99 was launched exclusively at OfficeMax® stores during the first quarter of 2007, and is available in three color combinations: Black on Black, Red on Black and Powder Blue on Black.    While I expected a price tag in that range, my hope is that it's durable enough to last an entire school year in the hands of a boy who drop-kicks his backpack at every destination.
