Kids backpacks for little outdoor fans

When children set out on little or big adventures, they need to bring some things along: lunch, a water bottle, a wood-carving knife, their favorite toy and lots of other stuff. In a children’s backpack, everything needed for adventures is safely stowed – and kids can proudly carry their backpack themselves. Children’s backpacks need to look cute, but they also have to fit properly. VAUDE children’s backpacks are manufactured using sustainable, environmentally friendly processes to ensure that our planet continues to be livable for our children.

Go outside and get some fresh air: children’s backpacks for girls and boys

Time and again, you can watch your children as they explore nature with curiosity, be it on a vacation hike or in the local woods. Of course kids want to feel like a fully-fledged member of the group and have – and carry – their own backpack. And why shouldn’t a functional, comfortable children’s backpack accompany children on their outdoor adventures? Above all, backpacks for children should meet high quality standards. Poorly fitting children’s backpacks can quickly lead to fatigue and dampen the joy of being outdoors. This is why VAUDE offers specially adapted backpacks for girls and boys that are perfectly adjusted to children’s anatomy and promise long-lasting hiking fun.

The right size for children’s backpacks: here’s how to find it

VAUDE children’s backpacks cover a broad range of sizes. Both children and teens will find the right backpack in the required size here. Our models’ volumes range from 4.5 liters to 42+8 liters. We not only offer the right kindergarten backpack for little ones, but trekking backpacks for young women and men as well.

Despite the wide selection of sizes, you should not make the mistake of linking the children’s backpack to its purpose. When choosing the right children’s backpack for girls and boys, your child’s health should always be the main criterion. Make sure that the backpack is gentle on the spine, hips and shoulders, and the size of the backpack corresponds to the length of your child’s back. The following simple rule of thumb applies for the backpack contents: Children should never carry more than approx. 10% of their own weight on their back. Accordingly, with a size of between 4.5 liters and 6 liters, our VAUDE first-backpack models are optimal for kindergarten kids. Breakfast and a water bottle fit into a kindergarten backpack. For kids in school, VAUDE backpacks in the 6 liter to 10 liter size are ideal. Remember to consistently make sure that the children’s backpack is not overloaded – regardless of its size.

Once you’ve found the right size for your child, the VAUDE children’s backpack for girls and boys will impress you with its flexibility. For hikes, in forest kindergartens or on bike trips, it is the optimal companion and even for the daily journey to kindergarten or school, it serves as the perfect container for all your child’s stuff.

The special features of a children’s backpack

When it comes to equipment, a children’s backpack has the same requirements as a backpack for adults. The backpack’s durable, robust outer membrane protects the contents against moisture. VAUDE backpacks for children are very easy to use. The carefully considered design with side pockets and an ideal interior makes using the backpack easy and understandable for kids. Our hiking backpacks for children have a comfortable carrying system with soft back and shoulder padding that relieves the burden on your child’s body – even on longer hikes. VAUDE children’s backpacks delight children with special features such as magnifying glasses or stuffed animals.

VAUDE children’s backpacks are made from recycled material such as PET bottles in some cases. Our backpacks for children bear the rigorous Green Shape sustainability label and the Green Button seal. They guarantee that the backpacks are produced using environmentally friendly, fair and resource-conserving processes.
