A children's backpack must be lightweight and the right size above all – a child should not carry more than roughly one tenth of their body weight. In this category you'll find school backpacks, children's hiking backpacks for family outings, city backpacks, cycling models and pencil cases.

When choosing, look for padded backs, a chest strap to keep the shoulder straps in place, and reflective elements for safety. For school children, an ergonomic back system that grows with your child is a worthwhile investment.

The smallest will love animal-themed rucksacks from Affenzahn, Deuter and LittleLife are perfect for trips, whilst school children will appreciate the durable backpacks from Boll. We dispatch orders within 24 hours and offer free shipping from £999.
