Perfect replacement for LEGO building boxes

August 12, 2019
Verified Purchase

My preteen is LEGO obsessed she has 8, 4x2 plastic LEGO storage containers so when her toddler brother got into diploma I thought id start him on his LEGO storage stash. Oh man, you can fit like 5 duplos in those bins... dramatization but for real though... I decided to try this out instead for my toddler and I’m impressed. First, it fit 3, 4x2 LEGO storage brick containers full of duplos before it was full. Second, this is a much more logical way for toddlers to play with duplos than LEGO storage bricks. I’m happy.

Amazing quality and so many uses! I ordered this for my kids’ legos and ended up ordering two more from their website one for trains/tracks & one for Lincoln logs! I also ordered two other brands on amazon but ended up returning them because the quality didn’t even come close. Also this color is beautiful 💚

Keeps Legos from crawling baby

May 22, 2018
Verified Purchase

Really like these bags. I was trying to figure out how to keep Legos from falling off the "Lego table" and onto the floor now that the baby is on the move. We've found Legos in her mouth many times now. These do the job b/c the kids can take them to wherever baby isn't!. I got the 16" one for my 3 year old and these larger ones for the 5 and 7 year olds. They like them a lot, can carry their Legos up to their rooms, to the living room, or in front of the fireplace and get started playing. The only downside is my 7 year old doesn't take his bag out and play. He used to play daily, but now seems to not want to bother. Still, when he wants to he can get it down and play. The bags don't close 100%, but by making a knot it them, they stay mostly closed and keep Legos contained. You wouldn't want to swing them over your head or throw them around or you'd lose Legos.

Pricey but worth it

October 31, 2018

Verified Purchase

Whether you have wood/tile flooring or high-pile carpet, LEGO can be a nightmare when it comes to clean up time. I did some research on different types of these playmats and decided to spring for the best that money can buy (i.e expensive).

The SWOOP bag is pricey and somewhat unnecessary. If you or your kid is pretty disciplined about cleaning up and not letting little LEGO pieces scatter all over the house or if you're find cleaning up, then there's really no need for this. It's admittedly a luxury but if you're in the market for one, the SWOOP bag is worth the hefty price tag. It's heavy and durable. I inspected the handiwork and the material quality and I'm pretty pleased. It's great for play time. All the pieces are stay pretty contained in the play mat. It's large so a small child probably wouldn't be able to cinch the sack closed.

Great for play and storage. You can also use for travel for larger items (LEGO and DUPLO will likely slip out)

Works as advertised.

Overall, I've been pretty happy with this bag. It doesn't need to be handled with any special care to keep Lego pieces from spilling out. (In fact, we have been far from careful in its use and haven't suffered a single misplaced block.) And, having our whole collection of small plastic bits accessible in a highly portable format has made using it as pleasant—for us and the kids—as we had anticipated.

My kids love playing on the mat and it helps so much with cleanup. We store our duplos in it and I’m already asking for another for Christmas.

Best storage for Legos!

Awesome! Way easier for the kids to find the pieces they want, and for them to keep the room clean since they don't have to take half the Legos out to find the ones they want.

Perfect for Legos and other building toys

March 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

These bags are beautifully made and sturdy. I bought one for Legos and quickly ordered two more. They are the perfect size for batches of Legos to bring from room to room or on a trip. The drawstring closure cinches the bag closed. And it’s a Seattle based company, which made the purchase even better.

Very high quality ... will last forever and worthe the extra $'s!

May 9, 2018

Verified Purchase

I've had multiple cheaper, polyester style bags like this from Amazon, which have been okay, and I still use, but typically the drawstring will break early on, and the stitching will come loose, and it will gradually 'fail' and need to be replaced in a year or so. Comparing these to the SWOOP bag is like night and day ... the quality is supreme, the draw string isn't going anywhere (thick rope vs. thin nylon cord), the grommets are metal, high quality, and are securely attached to the body of the bag, and to top it all, I've run this through the washing machine a couple of times and it comes out 'like new'. Trust me, worth the few extra $'s.

Got A Billion Lego Pieces? Then Get This

September 3, 2014

Verified Purchase

If you've got a kid who's Lego-crazy, then you've probably got a billion Lego pieces in your house and on your floor. There are various storage solutions out there for Legos, mainly involving plastic tubs, which work very well regarding storing Legos, but which are a PITA if you are looking for a specific part - you have no recourse but to dump the whole thing out to find the part you need.

This is basically a large round canvas mat with sides that are a few inches wide. You put all the Legos (or whatever other toys you want inside and then pull the drawstrings to bring the sides together forming a large pouch. A simple knot will keep it closed. It is rather bulky when full but it does the job well. And it is easy to transport from one room to another without the pieces spilling out.

What I like about it, in connection with Legos, is that it allows you to sort through the pieces easily to find what you need, without spreading everything all over the floor yet with the same ease as if they were spread on the floor. And I find that looking through the pieces that way helps to spark the imagination to create objects not originally thought of, because you can easily see differently-shaped pieces that you might not have previously thought of incorporating into your creation. This item isn't inexpensive, but it is well-made and should last for years and years. I recommend it.

Super happy with this bag

May 24, 2013

I didn't feel stars for educational value was applicable. Nor did I think this "toy" could be considered fun... unless you're an adult. I wish this existed when I was a child. I recently found a large stash of my old legos and I have now passed them down to my children. The only thing I was worried about was finding something to keep them in, or a mat to have on the floor to keep track of the pieces. I read reviews of other bags that had problems with clips and whatnot. This was the one I went for. #1 made in the USA. #2 basic and solid construction. The walls I thought were flimsy to hold up, but it survived my 4 year old. #3 The legos actually stayed in the bag when I "swooped" them up. That part was fun for mommy. #4 My desire to find a suitable mat was satisfied by the bottom of the flattened canvas.

Now, there isn't any clasp or clip to keep the canvas shut. So, I have them stored in a large bin. But at least they can grab the rope, pull the swoop out and play. I suppose I could tie the ends of the loops in a bow.... Okay, just tied them in a bow and it stayed shut. Not bad. I won't hang this from a hook because it's rather heavy, but for lighter toys, it would certainly be doable.

sanity saver!

This is the 2nd Swoop Bag we've purchased, and it has saved my sanity when it comes to my kids and their thousands of Legos. It's big enough that they can spread the Legos out to play on the opened bag - it's not uncommon to have 3 kids clustered around the bag sorting and building. The fact that it takes just a second to cinch the bag up with all the Legos inside saves endless complaints about cleaning up. It's also very sturdy and well made - our bag that we've had for 2+ years looks just like new. We love our Swoop Bags!

Great product for organizing and acceding Lego.

This is one of the best things I have bought for my son. It really is a present for me though.... I hate Lego all over the place so when I want to clean the playroom or when I'm ask my son to clean up he can put all the Lego in the bag quickly. It also makes transporting his Lego easy. Now that he is obsessed with Lego and we have so many more pieces, I would like a larger one. The quality is great and I would highly recommend this to any mom or dad who wants an easy way to contain Lego without making it "unfun" for a kid to play or access it.

Best LEGO storage

This bag was probably the best purchase I have ever made!!! One downside is my kids own way too many LEGOs so I probably need another but the bag is super sturdy and easy to open and close

Well worth the price!

November 22, 2013

I love this! It used to be that we kept a lot of our Legos in plastic totes (and we still have many a plastic tote full of Legos), but I'd groan every time I heard the inevitable dumping-out sound from my boys' bedroom. Plastic totes are great for storage, but not for sorting through Legos and trying to find just the right piece. You need to spread the Legos out a bit to really play. This allows the boys to have a large, contained area of play. We still get Legos on the floor, but not entire totes dumped everywhere. It's super easy to pull the strings and tighten the bundle back up into a bag and store it in the closet.

A great solution for Lego mess

April 15, 2015

Verified Purchase

This bag has made it possible for me to coexist peacefully with Legos. Prior to having this bag in my life, I stepped on a Lego brick at least 5 times a day. And this kind of repeated low grade pain makes for a grumpy mama. Now the Lego is contained. I'm happy. My kids are happy. Even the 3 year old can easily cinch the bag and move the Legos without making a mess. They have enough space to spread out a pretty sizable Lego collection and still stay inside the confines of the bag, even when said 3 year old is using Legos as load for his trucks to move around.

Best thing ever

Best thing ever! We set this up on a round table and then scoop it up and put it away whenever. I refuse to go insane trying to keep legos color sorted. It's not worth the battle with my son. The bag --the material and drawstring (rope) --are both high quality. I can't imagine it ever falling apart.

I was tired of stepping on a Lego every time I went in my sons room. With this bag he can keep the floor clean at all times. I also like the fact that he can swoop up his Legos to take to his father's house without fear of losing them. This product is pure genius.

Gift for our grandson. Not much to look at in its shipping package (like a tightly folded tent tarp), but well-received by our grandson. He was very excited to make his collection "portable," and his parents were equally happy for a simple container for clean-up wherever the Legos are played with.

A Lego Lifesaver

Sitting on the couch watching all of our Tupperware Lego boxes being emptied onto the floor, I though to myself "there has to be a better way". And there is. These bags are expensive - i mean they are just a canvas bag. But, they solve a very big problem. Cleaning up after a Legothon used to involve parent coercion and 20 minutes of sorting Legos into the various colored bins. It was painful. Clean up now literally takes 3 minutes with no raised voices. If that weren't enough, the kids can actually find the Legos they are looking for, because they can spread them out! What a concept. I only wish that I had these bags about 3 years ago, before our collection forced us to go the Tupperware route. My kids are now playing with the Legos more often because it is so easy. 5 stars, no brainer, buy this bag and put a smile back on your face.

I was deterred by the price, but decided to do it anyway. The kids can easily move their Legos anywhere in the house, upstairs or down. They are also getting good about keeping the bulk of them in the Swoop bag. I love this thing!

This product does the job. I just wish it had a clasp or way to keep the bag closed once cinched up. The fabric quality is nice. Something to consider is the weight of the bag once full. We have filled the larger bag and now my 5 year old can not lift the bag.

No more Legos scattered around! Easy to clean the floors now by simply sliding the swoop bag from place to place-- no more lugging bins to prevent scratching the floor! They also look so much more appealing than the plastic bins we had before. The way these create a play surface prevents toy dumping all over the floor during play. Well crafted and worth every penny!

Almost Fixed My Lego Problem

October 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

This bag is genius and I opted for it over less expensive options because of the material and little "wall" created when setting it up. Unless you're keeping an eye on your little ones all the time expect some Legos to find their way out of the bag. It happens, they're Legos. That aside the idea is just ingenious, clean up for the most part is a snap and the canvas is nice and rugged. It has stood up to quite a lot of play. This is not a cheap investment but I highly recommend it.

Purchased for 2 grandchildren to use with their Legos. They have cats,dogs and rabbits so the small pieces on the floor while building are. dangerous. It also made it easier for them to pick-up and move a project. It also made it possible for each chid to keep his or her project separate.
