By <a href="http://kidsfashion.about.com/bio/Michelle-Kouzmine-16989.htm">Michelle Kouzmine</a> <a href="http://kidsfashion.about.com/od/shopforkidsfashion/fr/tdlittlepackrats.htm">-About.com Guide</a></p>
<p>I have kids from preschoolers to tweens, girls and boys from all over the U.S. Test Driving some of the hottest kids&#8217; fashions, clothes and accessories. They&#8217;ll wear and use the items and then I&#8217;ll interview the kids and their parents to see what&#8217;s cool for school in the eyes of kids and their parents.</p>
<p><strong>Test Drive: Little Packrats Backpacks</strong><br />
Little Packrats kids&#8217; backpacks and toddler backpacks can be seen on the backs of some of America&#8217;s coolest kids. They are oh-so-stylish and kids go crazy over their bold graphic designs. Many of their toddler backpacks and kids&#8217; backpacks have fun features like 3D-design elements, big zipper pulls and cool styles.</p>
<p>Little Packrats&#8217;s Test Drivers were 3-year old Caden and 6-year old Reese.</p>
<p><img src='http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0036/1392/files/test_drive.jpg?1258499414' alt='' /></p>
<ul>
	<li>Caden Test Drove the Little Packrat&#8217;s Jack Backpack</li>
	<li>Reese Test Drove the Little Packrat&#8217;s Chloe Backpack, Jack + Chloe Insulated Lunch Tote   and Jack + Chloe Change Purse</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The Backpack Specs</strong><br />
Both Caden&#8217;s and Reese&#8217;s backpacks are 9 &#215; 9 &#215; 3. The backpacks have fun 3D style features and a beaded zipper pull that makes opening and closing the backpacks easy for kids. The large hanging loop is convenient for hanging backpacks in cubbies and lockers. It&#8217;s the perfect size for small books, toys and other little-kid must-haves.</p>
<p><strong>Style File</strong><br />
Caden and his mom are, as they say, dog people, so naturally Caden&#8217;s Little Packrats&#8217;s Jack Backpack was a big hit with them both. Caden&#8217;s mom says that Caden just loves it and she says it&#8217;s just &#8220;perfect.&#8221;</p>
<p>Reese and her mom thought the Little Packrats Chloe backpack was adorable. Reese&#8217;s mom said that the backpack is &#8220;absolutely&#8221; stylish.</p>
<p><strong>The Haul</strong><br />
Caden&#8217;s mom said his toddler backpack is just the right size to haul all of Caden&#8217;s preschool gear to and from school. It&#8217;s just the right size for a 3-year old boy. It fits comfortably on his back and does not overwhelm his frame. It&#8217;s roomy inside so he can stuff it full of books and toys.</p>
<p>Reese&#8217;s mom said that her Little Packrat is &#8220;a great size for packing her toys and things to keep her occupied on a night out.&#8221; It is not intended as a school backpack for older kids who have to carry books and homework.</p>
<p><strong>Little Packrats Lunch Tote Report</strong><br />
The Little Packrats Lunch Tote is 13 &#215; 9 &#215; 3. The Jack + Chloe Insulated Lunch tote is lined with <span class="caps">FDA</span>-approved insulate and keeps kids&#8217; lunches cool and fresh all day. It has a zip to closure that&#8217;s easy for little hands to maneuver.</p>
<p>Reese will be using her lunch tote this year for her packed lunches. Her mom said, &#8220;The lunch tote is the perfect size for grade schoolers.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Little Packrats Change Purse Report</strong><br />
The Jack + Chloe Change Purses are 4 &#215; 4 and have a handy wrist strap. They come as a set of 2 change purses. Reese&#8217;s little change purse is not only good for stashing in her backpack. It&#8217;s the perfect little wristlet for a stylish girl on the go.</p>
