Up Carl & Russell Mini Backpack

The colors on this thing are so much brighter in person than I expected from the listing photos. I clipped it onto my daypack as a little extra pouch for my keys and phone, and the zipper glides smoothly every time. Carl and Russell peeking out always gets a smile from strangers at the park.

I love how the Carl and Russell design is so detailed, especially the colorful balloons around them—it’s even cuter in person. The mini size is perfect for carrying just my phone and wallet when I’m out exploring.

My toddler refuses to leave the house without this thing now, and honestly I get it — the colors pop way more in person than in the photos. It's small, but it fits his snack cup, a juice box, and a couple of toy cars without looking stuffed.
