Skip Hop Zoo Backpacks

Skip Hop Zoo Backpacks Australia - Adorable Character Backpacks for Toddlers and Kids

The Skip Hop Zoo backpack is one of the most iconic and beloved kids backpacks in the world - and for very good reason. These adorable character backpacks transform every trip to daycare, preschool, or a family outing into an adventure when your little one is wearing their favourite animal on their back. At Peekaboo Baby we stock a range of Skip Hop Zoo backpacks in Australia, featuring the beloved animal character collection including unicorns, dogs, cats, monkeys, owls, and many more. The perfect first backpack for toddlers, they make a brilliant gift for the child who has everything.

Skip Hop Zoo backpacks are designed to be the right size for toddlers - big enough to carry a water bottle, snack, and a few small essentials, but not so large that it overwhelms a small child. The lightweight design, padded back panel, and adjustable chest clip make them comfortable for little ones to wear independently. Pair with a kids suitcase for a matching travel set, or browse our full range of kids backpacks for more options. Skip Hop also make excellent birthday and Christmas gifts - explore our gifts by age and gift ideas collections.

What to look for in a Skip Hop Zoo backpack

  • Character selection - Let your child choose their favourite animal for a backpack they will be genuinely excited to carry. Popular characters include the unicorn, dog, cat, and monkey - new characters are released regularly.
  • Correct size for age - Skip Hop Zoo mini backpacks suit toddlers from around 18 months to 3 years; the larger Zoo Pack size suits children 3-6 years. Check the dimensions against your child's height and what they need to carry.
  • Padded back panel - A lightly padded back panel adds comfort for little backs during a full day at daycare or preschool.
  • Adjustable straps and chest clip - Adjustable shoulder straps ensure a correct fit as your child grows, and the chest clip prevents the backpack slipping off active toddler shoulders.
  • Easy-access pockets - Look for a main zip compartment plus an exterior pocket for water bottles or snacks, sized for little hands to manage independently.
  • Wipeable or washable material - Kids backpacks get dirty. Look for wipeable exterior panels or machine-washable designs for easy maintenance.
