Munchkin® Brica® By-My-Side™ Toddler Safety Harness Backpack with Leash, Owl, Blue

Perfect size for toddlers! We are constantly complimented on these & asked where we got them. They fit small kids perfectly & my kids actually like wearing them.Harnesses around the chest likes a kids car seat so it’s more comfortable & actually stays on. Can’t fit that much inside but shouldn’t put much weight on a small kids back anyway. We pack a small snack, sunglasses, a blankie or small stuffy & maybe chapstick or a hairbrush.My one kid likes weighted blankets & compression. We put a beanbag in the backpack to create a light mobile weight & help calm her - works well & she does better out & about while wearing it. Doesn’t stand out or call attention to her, either.I love the tether strap. It clips onto the backpack & can be removed or tucked into the side pouch. It’s the only one I saw with a bit of elastic to smooth the impact/ pull created when a toddler tries to run off but is stopped by the cord. This has saved us on trips to the museum. One of my twins is a runner & we probably would’ve lost her without the strap. Makes everything so much less stressful with the tether as a back-up. I plan to keep the tether cord when they grow out of the back pack & just clip it onto a new backpack.

Bought this for my almost 2 year old this summer since we were going out to berry patches and trail walks. I wondered if it would bother him wearing it out but he absolutely loves it! We've used it to go berry picking, on trail walks, to the zoo and to the beach. It's big enough that I can just put 1 or 2 diapers, a small travel thing of wipes, a snack and his water in so we don't have to take the whole diaper bag with us. It stays light weight and hasn't seemed to bother him. He's worn it with tank tops and t-shirts and there hasn't been any rubbing. I used the leash once, our first time out with it, but haven't used it since. I love that it has the little strap on the top so I can just hold onto that if I need to. Every time he sees his pack he gets excited knowing a fun adventure is coming. Would definitely recommend!!

Important for safety. My toddler likes to run and in crowded spaces I need to keep him close. We bought this for navigating the airport and we now use it in all crowded places. We’ve tried other harnesses but this is the best by far. It’s comfortable, we don’t get as much judgement because it’s also a backpack so it looks more like something fun and less like a restraint, and our toddler likes wearing it because it’s a backpack and he can put stuff in it. Great buy!

I like the backpack overall. It would be nicer though if the straps were padded by where their necks go.

My 2 year old loves her back back and it fits her perfectly, and if I ever need it I’m comfortable knowing there’s a leash.

I can't always hold my toddler's hand and they inevitably tend to wander. This not only keeps the parenting gatekeepers at bay from whining about leashes, but it also doubles as a purse and sort of sense of importance for your kid. My toddler feels so proud whenever wearing this because they get to carry all of our things (masks, diapers, and hand sanitizer. Not bricks). I got a carabeener so I could attach it to my belt loop whenever I need a free hand to sign papers or something.

My 18 month old likes the independence of walking down the halls of our building and sidewalks, but won't always cooperate with hand holding. This is a great compromise that gives me peace of mind and keeps her safe and close to me while also allowing her some independence. We use it to go on walks and in stores.

But itherwise great

I bought this backpack to transition off of a diaper bag. I don’t need a big bag of stuff anymore.This bag is great to throw in the bottom of our stroller when we go out. It holds a few diapers, bag of wipes, spare outfit, sun screen, cream, soother and a snack. Once my child is big enough he can wear it and put his little things in it. Great buy!

funciona perfectamente

It fits my 12 month old boy perfectlySuper light and cute 🥰

This thing is my favorite way to harness my excitable gremlin. I've also got it so set up that she is hauling her own diaper bag around in this little thing: 2 diapers, a baggie with some wipes, a spare set of clothes, a soother, and a fruit pouch or 2. The tether is strong, though the straps for their shoulders could use a little padding. Overall it's pretty awesome.

We are in love with it
