Frequently Asked Questions
At what age does a child need their own backpack?
Nursery backpacks make sense from around age 2–3. They hold 5–10 litres and are designed for small backs. From primary school age, we recommend a school satchel with an ergonomic carrying system.
Which kids' backpack is suitable for 8-year-olds?
For children aged 8 and up, backpacks with a 15–20 litre capacity are ideal. Popular models come from Deuter, Jack Wolfskin and Vaude – featuring an adjustable back system that grows with your child.
What should you look for in a kids' backpack?
Key features include: padded shoulder straps, a chest strap for stability, water-resistant material, reflectors for visibility, and a low overall weight. The backpack shouldn't be wider than the child's shoulders.
Kids' backpacks for girls or boys – are there differences?
Functionally, there are no differences. The selection varies in colours and designs: from unicorns and flowers to dinosaurs and space motifs. Many models are deliberately designed to be unisex.
