We gave this to our grandson for his 3rd b.day. He loved it. It comes with so many little things, phone, keys, wallet, dollar bills, credit cards, and sunglasses. He loved all of the items. I was able to tighten the strap on the Fanny pack to fit his tiny little waist.

Ok, so I remember when these were huge the last time around, and when I was older I looked back on the fad with disdain and thought to myself that fashion tries to rehabilitate old styles, but this is one that's so bad it'll never come back. Clearly, I was wrong. Fanny packs are here again, although often worn as a crossbody bag, which is a definite improvement in my opinion.I decided to order this item because a toddler whom I frequently watch delights in going through my purse, peeking in every pocket, playing with the zippers, and spilling the contents out on to the floor. I understand that they're curious, but I don't appreciate having my bag dumped like this, and then having to sort through everything and put it all back again. Additionally, my wallet is a favorite target, and I'm always worried my ID or a bank card will be mislaid, and I'll accidentally leave the house without something I need. I thought this bag would be a perfect solution, as the child could explore it instead.So far, it seems to be a hit! Before I ordered, I saw that some customers reported having missing pieces, but that was not the case for me. Everything was present. You get so many accessories, too, which is nice. The cell phone is probably the most disappointing thing, as it is just a piece of plastic designed to resemble a smart phone, but unlike many toy phones for young children, it doesn't do anything. It has no sound effects or lights or rudimentary display or anything like that. You might like that it'll require some imagination to use, but this child already has two play phones and both of them take batteries and *do* something, so they didn't think much of this one. I'll just put one of those in here instead.The other items tended to have more realistic details. For example, the wallet seems like a small, padded, leather-like bifold. The interior layout seems very true to life, and it comes stocked with a driver's license (designed with a place for your little one's photograph to go), three chip cards with a realistic size, weight, and material, down to the raised account numbers, and paper currency. The money looks pretty accurate, but the bills are smaller than the real deal.The keys are plastic, which may be a cost-saving measure or the result of a safety concern, but either way, they are not metal. However, the house keys have a realistic shape to them, the car key has a built-in 'fob' with those squishy, rubber-like buttons, and there's also one of those keychain clips. I don't know whether the sunglasses give UV protection, but they are aviator style shades with black lenses. They fit perfectly and looked adorable.The fanny pack itself is, as I mentioned above, nice. Much nicer than I expected, actually. The fabric is thick, like backpack material, not just thin nylon. It has wide, strong webbing straps which could be adjusted up to fit an adult, or down to fit this toddler. The plastic buckle seems strong, and works just as it should. The fanny pack itself seems more like the right size for an adult, which means it looks too large on a toddler, but the child can walk around in it without problems, so it's not absurdly big. The bag has lots of zippered compartments, too, which is great for keeping all the accessories and assorted little treasures organized. There is a pocket on the front and another on the back, in addition to the main space which also contains an interior pocket. All four of these are secured with a smooth zipper.The bag's heathered gray body is classic, a neutral color, and the construction seems well done. The stitches are small and neat, the seams are even, and I found no loose or straggly threads. In short, if I were ever to consider wearing a fanny pack, I would wear this one (crossbody, of course) out in public and not feel ashamed of it for being cheap, loud, or a child's toy. It seems totally functional and wearable; a nice bag. It also comes loaded with fun pretend-play items for your little one, and the toddler and I both recommend it.
