Crocodile Creek, Dabbawalla, Oak Patch Gifts, Sassafras, Stephen Joseph and Wildkin take into consideration the size, strength and needs of the child when designing their backpacks, duffel/overnight bags, lunch box/bags and nap mats.  They know how important it is to keep these products clean and most of them are machine washable. These items are all tested to make sure they meet U.S. safety standards.  There is something below for children with a wide range of interests and levels of maturity.  There are 2 new lunch bag designs that have 2 zipper compartments to help keep food from being crushed:  Stephen Joseph Lunch Pals and Neat Oh!
