Children’s backpacks for toddlers and preschoolers: light, small and cheerful
A children’s backpack is a small, lightweight backpack for toddlers and preschoolers, ideal for daycare, preschool and days out. This collection includes children’s backpacks from Pick & Pack, Little Legends, Beagles, Zebra, Trixie and Kapten & Son: from small backpacks with animal prints to medium-sized backpacks with multiple compartments.
Which children’s backpack size suits your child’s age?
A small backpack is suitable from around 1 to 2 years old, for daycare or toddler groups. Choose a backpack that is no wider than your child’s back and stays lightweight, even when filled. For preschoolers, a medium-sized model with more room is a logical next step. Brands such as Little Legends make their backpacks in a small and a large size.
What should you look for in carrying comfort?
Soft, adjustable shoulder straps can grow with your child for some time and do not dig in. A chest strap keeps the shoulder straps in place when your child runs. A handle at the top makes it easy to hang the backpack on a coat hook. A zip on the main compartment closes more securely than a flap when the backpack is full.
Which prints and colours are available?
Animal prints are very popular: a shark from Pick & Pack, a dachshund from Little Legends and the designs from Trixie and Zebra. Pink-lilac, blue, green and white are the most common colours, while black is ideal for a more understated look. Most backpacks are made of polyester, while one model is made of cotton.
How do you care for a children’s backpack?
Clean the outside with a slightly damp cloth and leave the backpack open to dry at room temperature. Remove crumbs and sand from the compartments after a day out. Check the zips and shoulder straps from time to time.
