Hi...my 7 year old son is currently using the green Lilly frog kit bag he got free from hospital to carry all his equipment around....which I think is a great size and sturdy...problem is he wants a back pack type bag in similar size and one thats cool for boys! All bags I can find seem to be aimed at girls.....any ideas for funky boys bags? Like a small Gola bag or similar? :)

Hi my granddaughter had the green zip up frog bag and now has a new bright pink one, which she loves <3

Sometimes charity shops have some great items for sale, and some are new too :)
I hope you can find something very boyish and cool :cool: Or you could buy a plain bag and then he could make his own design using fabric paint :-D Good luck.

Best wishes RRB

My local market has both boys and girls back packs .
Boys in blue,green,red funky colours too .
Frog,crocodile,tiger,lion,penguin, animal themed .
All are suitable to be used as kit bags they're smallish medium
sized .
Not too big or bulky kind of thing .

Worth a try at your local markets ?
Reasonable prices also .

Thanks guys...Ive been scouring the internet and amazon...thinking maybe a normal kiddie back pack with a pencil case inside for insulin pens...just so many bits and pieces need to be lugged around....its easier for women and girls with handbags I imagine.
