Fanny Pack For Kids By cukal6 on - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Me and a friend bought these fanny backs for our 6 year old boys to take to Disney. The theory was that they could hold their own water, snacks, sunglasses, etc. These even came with their own water bottles and two separate pouches to carry things in. They looked very durable and were bright colors that the kids liked. Sounds good right?

So the first day we get up and put them on, and they're too big. Way too big! We had to tighten them as far as they would go, then put two big knots in them to make them fit. ONce they were on, we realized that they were huge! Even with nothing in them they looked like they were full of stuff. With that done we were on our way.

They worked great for the first half of the day but then they got heavy and they were bulky, and they were just getting in the way. Needless to say, they were left at the hotel after that. I think they might work well for an older child maybe 10 or 11, but they are just too big and bulky for a 6 year old.

Good to know. My son carries a fanny pack with him EVERYWHERE...with his epi pen, benedryl, and inhailer...so we just shove a couple smaller snacks in it and a small juice:0) This one sounds way to large though:0)

Sorry they did not work out for you. I always wish my 6 year old would carry something when we are at Disney but that never happens.

Easy to Use Simply press flash or your switch hook to get a dial tone. Dial the third party. After they pick up you press flash or your switch hook again - and you're on a 3-Way call.

I was just wondering the same , if my son would wear it. I hope he would, it would save me the hassel of carrying everyones stuff.

Fanny packs are great! There are some that are made for the younger set, however before purchasing I would make sure that the clips are strong and does not have a quick release Velcro strap if anything valuable is going to be in it or the pack may quickly disappear.

maybe you can use them when your child gets a little older. Fanny packs are nice to have but sometimes even for adults they are a pain to carry around.

I would think if it is made for kids then they should fit kids. Maybe when you child is a tad older it wouid fit better

Why would they make them so big if they were intended forkids? Go figure! Sorry it didn't work out better for you. Thanks for the info.
