Questions

Questions about the COOWOZ backpack with shoe compartment

Do boots fit in your COOWOZ shoe compartment?

No. The pocket takes a pair of sneakers, running shoes or flats. Wear the boots and pack the lighter pair.

Can you use your COOWOZ shoe pocket for something else?

Yes. It is a zipped pocket with its own lining, so a toiletry bag, gym clothes or a charger kit fit just as well.

This is general information about bags. Airlines set and change their own size limits, so check yours before you fly. For a child, keep a loaded backpack light and worn on both straps, and pack food that must stay cold with an ice pack.
