Know before you buy
This backpack is specifically sized for children between the ages of 2 and 9, making it a versatile choice for toddlers and young elementary students alike.
The shoulder straps are designed to be adjusted or tucked away, allowing you to easily join them together to form a top-carry handle for quick trips or when your child needs a break from wearing it.
Yes, the bag is made from durable polyester treated with a PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which helps shed light rain and moisture during outdoor excursions.
Yes, the chest strap is equipped with an integrated safety whistle, allowing your child to easily signal for attention if they get separated or need help while hiking.
While the durable polyester construction is easy to spot clean with a damp cloth, we recommend avoiding machine washing to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the DWR coating.
The 4-liter capacity is perfectly sized for the essentials, such as a light jacket, a small water bottle, snacks, and a few favorite toys, including the included Mammut soft toy.
