The first day of spring has tempted me into day dreaming about days at the beach with the family. If I close my eyes I can feel the sun on my face, the scent of surf and sunscreen tickle my nostrils and the delighted sound of my son laughing as he plays in the sand greets my ears like beautiful music.
When we have a day of fun in the sun planned I have a go-to bag for my little traveller that is super cute and designed to keep water from leaking in or seeping out. If you spend any amount of time near the water with your children you will want to keep reading. Let me tell more about the PaddlePak line of bags by Trunki.

PaddlePak is a colorful backpack with a fun and friendly design sure to make your kids the envy of the beach. Made with lightweight material which makes them easy for kids to carry. They are water resistant, which is fantastic because there are no more leaky swimsuits to contend with when it is time to call it a day. Quite spacious with an almost 2 gallon capacity, you can pack water toys, towels and extra clothes without worrying about having enough room.รขโฌยจ
These bags are great for year round travel and adventure as well, and a perfect fun backpack that kids can drag around with them no matter where they are off to. Fill it with your favorite snacks, toys, a sweatshirt- whatever suits the day- and off you go. Take it on a road trip, to the airport (and don't worry if Junior spills his juice on it should turbulence hit), to the park or zoo- it's versatile, and easy to spot in crowds as well, which is a bonus for parents.
I love that they have reflective trim and straps and a breakaway safety buckle because it is important to me that my son is visible, especially as the sun is setting and we are heading to the car. The dry zip pocket gives him a spot to stash his mp3 player. The Trunki Grip feature is excellent for keeping sunglasses accessible and the hanging loop makes hanging his PaddlePak a breeze.
