Meet Shaz, the Sunbaker Kangaroo: vintage flair, zero SPF, and absolutely no plans for the afternoon.
You'll find Shaz exactly where she's always been, stretched out on her handmade crochet beach mat, green floral vintage swimmers on, sun hat tilted just so, soaking up every last ray with the dedication of someone who has truly mastered the art of doing nothing productive. She's not lazy. She's an expert.
With good vibes radiating in every direction and a can of Solo always within reach, Shaz is the kind of Aussie icon you find at every beach, every backyard, and every public holiday. She knows all the gossip. She's read every magazine. She has strong opinions about sunscreen. And she is absolutely, completely, perfectly fine right where she is.
Crafted in our signature Rugaroo plush style, Shaz is a miniature heirloom kangaroo doll designed for small-world storytelling and dollhouse-compatible play. Complete with her handmade crochet beach mat and sun hat, she arrives ready to claim the sunniest spot in any playroom... and stay there.
Whether she's sprawled across the Ocean Road play mat, living her best life, reclining beside the miniature playground while everyone else does the work, or holding court on a nursery shelf radiating peak Aussie summer energy, Shaz brings warmth, humour, and gloriously good vibes into every playroom.
She's the mate who reminds us that sometimes the most important thing you can do is find a sunny spot, lie down, and just enjoy it.

The Keepsake Pouch Bag
Why select the pouch bag?
It is part of the story
Inspired by the iconic bond between a mother kangaroo and her joey. The pouch is not just packaging, it is the first chapter of your Rugaroo's world.
It makes gifting beautiful
No wrapping required. The pouch bag arrives gift-ready, just add a card. Parents tell us the presentation alone made them cry. That is the kind of gift this is.
Children love it
Parents consistently tell us their children love the pouch as much as the doll itself. It becomes a carry bag, a bed, a hiding spot. It lives the adventure too.
Reusable forever
The pouch bag is washable, durable, and designed to last. Use it to store, carry, or transport your Rugaroo for years to come. Nothing wasted, everything kept.
No extra plastic
We believe in minimal, considered packaging. The pouch replaces plastic wrapping entirely. Beautiful, sustainable, and part of our commitment to the world we leave behind.
Simply select at checkout
Add the pouch bag when you add your Rugaroo to cart. It is that simple. A small decision that makes the whole experience unforgettable.
The story behind this one
You choose Shaz for anyone who has ever found their perfect sunny spot and refused to move.
She is for the sunbaker. The one who arrives at the beach with a full setup, knows exactly where the afternoon light hits, and isn't going anywhere.
Shaz has been chosen for mums who deserve a proper day off, for kids who already carry that same energy, and for anyone who appreciates the quiet Australian art of doing absolutely nothing and doing it well.
She arrives with her handmade crochet beach mat and sun hat. Everything she needs, and nothing she doesn't.
Pairs beautifully with Sandy the Surf Rescuer, because every sunbaker needs someone keeping an eye on them.

At approximately 13cm and 1:6 to 1:8 scale, Shaz is designed to sit comfortably within most dollhouse settings, pair with the Rugaroo Miniature Playground, and become part of a growing world inspired by Australian landscapes and stories.
