The first proper backpack — small enough to carry, big enough for a lunch box and a change of clothes.
- Capacity: 8 litres
- Size: 30 × 22 × 12 cm
- Empty weight: 340 g
- Warranty: 1 year
- Designed for: Nursery & Reception
- Range: Backpacks
The Kinderpak is sized for a three-to-five year old and nothing else. At 8 litres it holds a lunch box, a water bottle, a book bag and a spare set of clothes, and it stops there — which means it cannot be overloaded by a well-meaning adult on a Monday morning.
The back panel is a single piece of closed-cell foam with a soft brushed cover, so there are no seams to press into a small back. Shoulder straps are wide and short-set, with a magnetic chest clip a child can close one-handed. The main compartment opens flat on a horseshoe zip so the whole bag can be emptied onto a peg rail without tipping. Inside there is a name card window, a fleece-lined pocket for a snack, and an elasticated bottle sleeve that will hold a 500 ml bottle upright. The base is a separate panel of coated fabric — the part that gets dragged across a playground — and it is replaceable under warranty.
Every bag in the Backpacks range is described the same way on this site: capacity in litres, external dimensions, empty weight, and the school years it was built for. If any of those numbers do not match what you need, tell us what you are carrying and we will point you at a different model rather than sell you the wrong one.

How to read these numbers
Capacity is the usable volume of the packed bag, measured with the compartments closed. Dimensions are external, so allow roughly 2 cm on each figure for the internal space.
Empty weight matters more than most people expect: a bag that starts 300 grams heavier is 300 grams the child carries every day before a single book goes in.
Designed for is a guide, not a rule. Children of the same age vary by 20 cm in height. If in doubt, measure the back length as described in our back care guide.
Looking after it
Empty the bag completely, shake it out and sponge the outer fabric with warm water and a little non-biological detergent. Do not use bleach, solvent or a washing machine unless the model is listed as machine washable. Dry it away from direct heat with the compartments open.
Full instructions for every range — including how to re-proof a water-repellent finish and what to do about a stiff zip — are on our product care page.
Warranty: 1 year
Covers manufacturing and material faults from the date of delivery: seam and stitching failure, zip and buckle failure, and delamination of coated fabrics. It does not cover accidental damage, deliberate damage or normal wear.
Faulty bags are repaired where a repair is sound and replaced where it is not. See Warranty & Returns for the full terms and how to make a claim.

Returns
You have 14 days from delivery to tell us you are cancelling, and a further 14 days to send the bag back, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. We extend that to 30 days for unused items in their original condition.
Personalised bags cannot be returned under the cancellation right unless they are faulty, because they are made to your specification. Please check spelling carefully before ordering.
