Product Customer Reviews
Great backpack for running to work
Although this is a kids backpack, it was the perfect size for day hikes without having the bulk. It’s comfy, adjustable and looks great. Highly recommended
Bought 2 of these for our 5 & 7 year old daughters, perfect height adjustment for both now and for the future! Handy pockets in a well thought out ruck sack! Would highly recommend to any one with kids👌
Very light bag for a child, my 5 year old son walks with his bag to prepare the Stevenson trail and is delighted to be able to carry his own things in a bag "like the grown-ups". The only downside is that the pockets on the side for carrying water bottles are made of very fine mesh which tears easily, after a few uses, there are already holes. It would be wise to use another, more solid material, especially for a children's backpack. Otherwise, I recommend the bag is light and its multiple adjustments allow it to be adapted well to each body shape.
Nice for kids
I love this bag, it's very complete, super practical and so beautiful.
Well sewn, with lots of storage and pockets. It seems small, but it is roomy. It worked very well on a 7-year-old's camping trip.
height adjustment allows for a very good fit from a preschooler to a teenager, red color visible on the trail from a distance. There is a pocket in the chimney and side. I would add more reflective elements, but I am still very happy with this purchase.
For my son (6 years old) an absolutely great backpack, fits on the back, height adjustable. Quality / price ratio. Volume just right for children's hikes. Spacious and light. Bonus - whistle on the buckle.
Very satisfied
I bought a backpack for my toddler because it's practical and easy for children to use. Its height adjustment system is an important detail to keep in mind for their comfort and to prevent injuries. The backpack grows with them.
Bought for a hike, it's used every week as a sports bag. Try it and you'll love it.
I've been around half of Asia with it... perfect! And it folds up easily into the main backpack.
The backpack is light and roomy, has a beautiful color. My daughters are delighted. I would add a pocket for a water bladder.
A great backpack for young hikers, comfortable, spacious
