Kidorable ~ It’s in the Bag! {Review & Giveaway #3}

Posted October 20, 2009 by Emilie with and 2,055 views | -

I’m excited to bring to show you some wonderful items from Kidorable, a company that specializes in kids apparel and accessories that takes function and adds an imaginative and fun twist! They started as a small company in 1997 and have since grown faster than they ever imagined themselves! If you browse their styles you just can’t help but smile yourself so it really is no wonder they have so much appeal to children.

We got to try test out the fireman umbrella, boots and backpack. My three year old Lucian immediately gravitated to all of these items since he is currently obsessed with any type of emergency vehicles and firemen in general. He wasted no time putting on his boots and backpack so I took him outside to let him also enjoy his umbrella. He had fun identifying the images on the umbrella and was exited about the fire hydrant and ladder!

Lucian loves that the boots have wheels and flames going up them and even his little brother steals them whenever he gets the chance so he can clomp around the house in them! The fireman backpack has also been a hit with my son. He thinks it is so cool and it has been great to use for his weekly Early Childhood Education class for spare clothes. It certainly stands out among the rest of the bags! I like that there are outside pouches, perfect for small toys or snacks.

The quality on all of these items is superb and as a parent I am very pleased. The only thing I should warn you about is the smell that comes from the backpack. It reminds me of the strong rubber smell I’ve gotten from other items with similar materials, like my yoga mat. You will definitely want to air it out before using. I don’t notice any smell now but it was a bit strong in the beginning. I wouldn’t however let it keep me from purchasing a backpack in the future, especially when the are so adorable.

How can you even resist this Ladybug Backpack or

this Frog Backpack?

Now we just need a rain coat to match! If you are looking for an entire set, Kidorable has plenty to choose from, including this brand new Lucky Cat style for all you little ladies!
