When my first child was born, we were living in New York. I was used to seeing kids being pushed in their strollers in the dead of winter in these adorable — and cozy — stroller sleeping bags.
When it was my turn to get one, all the neighborhood parents agreed there was one brand to get: 7AM Enfant. The bags attach to the stroller straps and keep little kids warm and protected from the weather. We used ours every day when it was cold.
When my son was ready to start pre-school, I was a newbie at figuring out what he actually needed, or what brands could hold up to a Montessori outdoor program.
After some Googling, I ended back at 7AM Enfant's website and saw they had backpacks. We now live in Maine, and seeing they had a bright orange one — the color you are asked to use during hunting season so hunters know you're not a deer or a turkey — I figured it was the right one for my son. He could carry his stuff and be safe.
It turns out these were the best backpacks I could get. Now my three kids have their own backpack in their favorite colors.
