Know before you buy
The Mackenzie backpack comes in four sizes ranging from Mini to X-Large. As a general rule, the Mini is best for toddlers, while the Small, Large, and X-Large sizes are scaled to accommodate growing children from early elementary age through middle school.
It is water-resistant, meaning the 600-denier recycled polyester exterior is designed to repel light rain and moisture to keep contents dry. However, it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
The glow-in-the-dark designs require exposure to a light source to charge. Once charged, they will emit a glow in low-light conditions, though the intensity and duration of the glow depend on how much light they have absorbed.
Yes, the straps are contoured and padded to distribute weight evenly across the shoulders. Combined with the padded back panel, the design is intended to provide ergonomic support for children carrying books and supplies throughout the day.
Yes, personalization is available for this backpack. This is a great way to ensure your child can easily identify their bag at school or during extracurricular activities.
The recycled polyester fabric is durable and easy to spot clean. We recommend using a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away any dirt or spills, then allowing the bag to air dry completely.
