Description
The backpack that glows on the walk home and makes your kid the envy of the bus
This is the backpack kids pick out for themselves. The figure printed on the front sits there as a crisp white outline all day, and then the lights go off and the whole thing lights up in soft cyan. Classmates ask where it came from, and your kid wears it everywhere.
It is also a properly useful school bag: a USB port on the side to charge a phone from a power bank tucked inside, a padded laptop sleeve against the back, side pockets for a bottle, and zips you can lock. Rated highly by students.
Charge a phone from the strap, no unzipping
Slip your power bank into the inside pocket and plug it onto the short internal lead. The USB port on the outside of the bag is now live, so you charge a phone right from the strap without opening the bag or fishing out a cable. A short USB lead comes in the 5-piece sets.
"The USB port and lock make it super practical," says zoe m. And Samantha F. calls it "Eye-catching and actually functional."
It glows cyan in the dark, and kids love it
The pattern is a glow-in-the-dark print, the same family of pigment as glow stars on a bedroom ceiling. Leave the bag under a bright room light or in daylight, take it somewhere dark, and the whole figure glows cyan-green. It recharges every time it sees light again, so the glow comes back day after day.
Buyers on the glow: "Shipped fast and the glow feature is surprisingly strong." "Lights up in the dark and still holds a ton of books." "Love how visible it makes my son at night." "Our son was so happy when he saw it glow. Great gift!"
Bag on a chair in a dark bedroom, bag in the hallway at dusk, bag on the walk home: it is the part of the day your kid shows it off. A few minutes under a bright light before you head out gives it a strong charge.
