Children love nothing more than feeling grown up, and what better way to start them on this journey than to let them have their very on bag, or backpack, wallet or umbrella.

What backpacks are popular with young kids?

If you are shopping for a backpack for a young child it is best to go for something bright and colourful, with a design you know they will love. Also, it’s good to bear in mind that little hands might struggle with zips and pockets on back packs to begin with, so make sure you choose a simple back pack, that’s not too big. We have some asdorable mini-backpacks with great designs. See our Elvis Elephant, Wild Wonders or Butterfly Garden back packs.

At what age can a toddler wear a backpack?

A toddler can start wearing a backpack once they are walking short distances. Most toddlers love to be able to carry a few of their own possessions and will leap at the chance of having their very own bag or backpack. However, not all toddlers will be happy to wear an back pack and it might take a few tries before they are comfortable with their new accessory.
