How does the Skip Hop Zoo Unicorn Mini Backpack Harness work?
The Skip Hop Zoo Unicorn Mini Backpack Harness is a dual-purpose product that functions as a small toddler backpack and a safety harness. Adjustable chest and waist straps fit securely around the child's body, and a detachable parent tether clip onto the backpack allows parents to keep their toddler within a safe reach in busy public spaces. When the parent tether is not needed, it detaches completely so the bag works as a standard mini backpack. The harness is designed to be comfortable for children and gives toddlers a sense of independence.
What age is the Skip Hop Zoo Unicorn Harness suitable for?
The Skip Hop Zoo Unicorn Mini Backpack Harness is designed for toddlers aged 2 to 4 years. At this age, children are increasingly independent and want to walk on their own, but busy public spaces like airports, shopping centres and markets can make that challenging for parents. The harness gives toddlers the freedom to walk while keeping them safely within reach. The adjustable straps accommodate different sizes through the toddler years.
Can the Skip Hop Unicorn Backpack Harness store small items?
Yes - the Skip Hop Zoo Unicorn Mini Backpack Harness has a small zippered compartment inside the backpack body where children can store small essentials like a folded snack wrapper, a small toy, a pacifier case or a few coins. Toddlers love the sense of independence that comes with carrying their own backpack, and the small storage compartment adds to the fun. The backpack is not large enough to carry significant cargo - it is primarily a harness with backpack styling.
Is the Skip Hop Unicorn Harness safe and secure?
The Skip Hop Zoo Unicorn Mini Backpack Harness is designed with toddler safety as the priority. The harness straps adjust to fit snugly around the child's body without being restrictive, and the parent tether attaches to a reinforced point on the backpack. The tether is designed to hold under pulling force without causing discomfort to the child. The harness is a helpful tool in busy environments and is not a replacement for active supervision - it is one useful layer of safety when navigating crowded spaces with an active toddler.
Are other Zoo characters available in the Mini Backpack Harness?
Yes - the Skip Hop Zoo Mini Backpack Harness is available in a range of Zoo animal characters including Bee, Giraffe, Butterfly, Unicorn and more. Each character features the same adorable 3D character face design that the Zoo range is known for. The harness coordinates with other Zoo range products including the Kids Backpack, Snack Cup and Insulated Food Jar. Browse the full Skip Hop Zoo range at Peekaboo Baby.
