The music box bag from Grinsezwerge was delivered in a typical Amazon box. The shipping box was compact and the product had little room to move around. The product packaging was undamaged and in perfect condition. The shipping box was easy to open with the help of a sharp object. The Toniebox bag was packed in a zipper bag inside the box. The film provides additional protection against dirt and damage during transportation. As the product packaging is sufficiently robust, we believe that the film could have been dispensed with. The plastic film in which the bag was packed has a clear warning printed on it about the potential choking hazard for small children. Overall, the set is well protected in the packaging and, apart from the foil, no unnecessary packaging material has been used. Overall, the Toniebox bag from Grinsezwerge makes a very good impression.

The music box bag from Grinsezwerge has a child-friendly, colorful design and is available in five different colors and motifs . We had two different versions in our test. One is the “Princess Pia” tote bag, which is purple and features a princess on a unicorn on the front. The princess design can also be found on the inside of the carrier bag. The blue lining features everything that a child would associate with a princess, such as a rainbow, a crown, a mirror, a castle, etc.
The other bag is in ninja style. Red on the outside with Noah the ninja and black on the inside. Matching symbols can also be found in the inner lining. The low weight of the bag is a positive feature.
The product is very well made and the Velcro fastener keeps the dividers stable and flexibly adjustable in the bag. The detachable shoulder strap, which can be adjusted to the length of the user, also promises a certain longevity thanks to its good workmanship.

We really liked the music box bag from Grinsezwerge in the test. It offers enough storage space for the Toniebox and important accessories. The charging station and headphones also fit in well. There are two mesh pockets on the outside of the bag for the Tonie figures. There are also two additional mesh pockets on the inside of the lid. Depending on the type and shape of the Tonies to be transported, up to 20 Tonies can be easily transported in the music box bag.
The polyester material of the bag is also water-repellent, so that splash protection is guaranteed in any case. This protects the bag from soiling. The shoulder strap supplied is detachable and can be adapted and flexibly adjusted for all age groups. This means that the music box bag can be easily carried by both adults and smaller children. A practical carrying handle on the lid also makes it easier to carry the bag. Thanks to the movable and removable dividers, the music box bag can be used flexibly depending on the items being transported. Without accessories, two Tonieboxes can even be transported at the same time.
The extra thick padding of the bag protects the contents from damage. The bag can be washed by hand for cleaning. All in all, a durable, sustainable and practical product.
