7 Days of Store It: Bag Up the Animals

When Boon first allowed parents to get a new use out of the mountain of stuffed animals, we all went running to bag them up.

But the stuffed animals kept coming. Fortunately, so did the bags. Along with the Otto, which earned a spot on Babble last year, came the Trio, a giant three-sectored bag that lets three kids sit comfortably on a pile of stuffed friends.

For parents who haven’t discovered the lifesaver that is using their stuffies as chair stuffing, a little lesson in how Boon does it: each bag is covered in a soft fabric akin to a fake fur with entire sections covered in a zippered mesh. The mesh doubles as a space to put the stuffed animals inside and a window to see their friends – so they don’t have to dump out an entire toy box to get that ONE special friend – they can open the right window, grab it, and zip back up.

The soft stuffies, of course, act like the beans in a bean bag chair, so they can sit, lie, even sleep on their bags. And you don’t have to worry about finding EXTRA space for all those friends.

The Trio is the biggest in the Boon line-up, but it earns its spot on 7 Days of Store It for offering up three times the fun for kids when it’s time for the playdate – three times the space to stuff their toys when they’re told to clean up for the playdate, three times the space for their friends to plop down. Get it from Amazon for $89.

Want something smaller? Boon’s Oval bag is the smallest in the bunch – and just as the name implies, it’s a simple oval that will fit into any space. Don’t be discouraged by the size, however, you can stock this thing pretty full – just keep bagging up the animals. Get it from Amazon for $69.
