Kids Backpacks

We know that a well fitting rucksack is key to comfort, well that goes for kids too. Your young adventurers will go further with less grumbling if their backpacks, like yours, fit properly. They will gain self confidence and a sense of responsibility if they not only have their own rucksack to carry but they are in charge of packing it too. Waterproofs, food and snacks, drink and even their own compass can genuinely up the level of commitment to the day. If they are old enough to be involved in the route planning then you are on to a winner. Kids backpacks can be fun. The Vaude Minnie 4.5 and Donald 7 are designed in great colour schemes and can be used for swimming kit, school bag, packed lunch or day at the park. The Vaude Puck even has a magnifying glass attached to it...for non stop exploring. For those children who love walking with their family or who are involved with cubs, guides and scouts there is a more serious range of kids backpacks, designed with all the features of their adult equivalent. The Osprey Zip 25 is a hydration compatible kids rucksack, designed for 8 to 13 year olds. It has a fleece lined harness for comfort. For summer camps, scouting trips or sleepovers in your best friend's garden, then a bigger rucksack is required. The Vaude Kimberly 45+10 is a fully featured rucksack designed to go into adulthood. It has an adjustable Tergolight back system, hip belt, detachable top lid, twin axe/pole attachments and has just about everything you'd expect to see on a proper rucksack At 45+10 it is plenty big enough when fully packed but will provide a quality fit for your ambitious teenager who is heading off on his or her first mountain adventure.
