Kid-size waist/fanny packs

[sandibeck]

Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can get a waist or fanny pack for a 6 year old girl? She wears a size 6 slim in pants, so I need something that will be good for a small waist. I'm in central NC (triad area).
Thanks in advance!

That's going to be a hard one to find. My DD is 9 and I still tie a knot in her Pooh Bear pack that we got at Animal Kingdom year's ago. It is for children, the pouch is small. But the straps are long and she is a skinny little thing too. If you tie a knot, just put it on the side so it won't bump the back on bumpy rides.

I tied my dd's in a knot too.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think I may have found something that will work on ebags. It says child size - we'll see when it arrives. I actually ordered 2 because when I got home today I checked my son's (he's 12) and the one I had for him is too big too!? I would've thought he could wear an adult size when it was as tight as it would go. Oh well! We'll be going to Disney fanny pack or not in June! I thought it'd be good for each of us to have some snacks (pack of crackers, gum) and keep up with it ourselves instead of 1 person having to tote it all around (DH will have enough in the backpack!). Anyway...the packs are supposed to arrive May 9 (estimated), so I'll let you guys know how they fit. There were a couple of comments from previous buyers that they were perfect for their Disney trips though, so I'm optimistic!

I got two fanny packs for my 10 and 6 year old girls from a site called shopbags.com. They have a bag called the Everest Mini Waist Fanny Pack, I think it was about $7.00, and they worked perfect for them, we didn't need to tie them in knots or anything, perfect size. Every day they carried several snacks in them and sometimes their autograph pens. They don't hold a lot but they were just right for what they wanted. They never complained about having them on.

I also got a bag for me as well, just a compact organizer bag that has several different zipper compartments that worked great for holding the maps, camera, and various other junk we seemed to need each day. I ordered it in black and my husband carried it as well....not very "purse" looking, just a nice travel bag.

Hope this helps!
