From toy cars to pet rocks, kids gleefully tote an assortment of cherished curios about on a daily basis. Whether they’re leaving on a jet plane, lugging a tower of library books, or having a slumber party at grandma’s house, equip the little explorer in your life with the perfect carryall companion—get them an Ecozoo backpack.

Part pet, part toy, Ecozoo backpacks ensure that a friend will always have your child’s back on every adventure. Featuring a cast of personable characters including a monkey, panda, pig and puppy, these sweet satchels will add an element of fun and lightheartedness to every journey.

To help fight global warming, the folks at Ecogear have designed these bags “minus the extra baggage of health and environmental risks.” Made of earth-friendly organic cotton, recycled plastic and toxic-free dyes and components, the charming collection is entirely free of the harmful, chemical-emitting PVC that plagues most standard issue backpacks on the market.

A cuter, safer, greener backpack for the next generation? We call it puppy love.
