M&S' 'lovely' £14 Paddington backpack is 'perfect size' for nursery

M&S shoppers have shared high praise for a £14 Paddington-themed backpack that's a "great size for nursery." The Kids' Paddington Small Backpack has proved to be a hit with shoppers, who love the quality, shape and design.

According to the product description, the backpack is perfect for young adventurers. M&S said: "It has a spacious, zip-fastening design, featuring our water-repellent Stormwear finish in case they get caught in the drizzle. There are plenty of pockets to keep things organised, including two on the side and a zipped pocket on the front."

There are also adjustable shoulder straps and a top handle that make it easy to carry, and the inside of the backpack is fully lined and features slip pockets for organisation. In other words, it's perfect for carrying your little one's lunch box and daily essentials. Anyone for a marmalade sandwich?

Other Paddington products on offer include a £16 Paddington Bear Soft Toy, a £12 Paddington Comforter, and £13 Kids' Paddington Slippers.

The backpack has been awarded an average rating of 4.7/5 by reviewers. One impressed shopper said: "Great bag, good quality and super cute! Perfect size for my 1 year old." A second wrote: "So cute. Bought for my 1yr old grandson. Perfect size. Well made. Pattern is well thought out. Well done M&S."

Someone commented: "Perfect for a small child or toddler and a good quality for the price!" Another thought: "Lovely backpack, perfect size and will just fit onto my own back too which is handy."

However, a different reviewer said: "Lovely little backpack for my son. I would say it’s a little overpriced for the size and material, but still very cute." Another claimed they had an issue with their order.

It's also worth noting that while the bag can go in the washing machine at 40°C and tumble dryer at medium temperature, it cannot be bleached or ironed — and it is 100% polyester.
