Backpacks for Kids & School

From nursery and school to family days out and holidays, a good backpack for kids is a practical companion for everyday adventures. At Kindermaxx, you'll find a carefully selected range of children's backpacks and school backpacks in different sizes, colours and designs. Choose from compact backpacks for younger children to larger styles for school, travel and everyday activities.

When choosing a children's backpack, there's more to consider than just the design. Size, weight, carrying comfort and practical storage are all important. After all, your child should enjoy carrying their backpack while having enough space for essentials such as a lunch box, water bottle, favourite toy or school supplies.

Which backpack is right for your child?

The right backpack depends mainly on your child's age and how they plan to use it. For nursery, preschool or daycare, a compact kids' backpack is often enough. It can provide space for everyday essentials such as a lunch box, water bottle, small cuddly toy and a change of clothes.

Older children may need more room. A school backpack for kids should offer enough storage for the items your child needs during the school day. Depending on the model, separate compartments and pockets can help keep books, notebooks and smaller essentials organised and easy to reach.

For family outings and leisure activities, a versatile children's backpack is a great choice. Look for a size that offers enough space without being unnecessarily large or heavy. Before buying, consider what your child will usually carry and choose the backpack accordingly.

Comfort and fit matter

Even the most beautiful backpack isn't much use if your child doesn't feel comfortable carrying it. A children's backpack should therefore suit your child's height and body size. Adjustable shoulder straps make it easier to achieve a comfortable fit. Depending on the design, padded straps and an additional chest strap can provide extra support and help keep the backpack in position.

The backpack's empty weight is also worth considering, particularly for younger children. How much your child should carry depends on factors such as their age, build, walking distance and the items inside. Packing only what is actually needed helps keep unnecessary weight to a minimum.

Kids' backpacks for nursery and adventures

For many children, their first backpack is something special. It gives them their own place for favourite belongings and lets them proudly carry a few essentials to nursery, preschool or on a family adventure.

Thoughtful details can make everyday use easier. Depending on the model, features may include separate compartments, bottle pockets, name labels and easy-to-use fastenings. Some backpacks in our collection also feature water-repellent or water-resistant materials. Always check the individual product description for specific material properties and care instructions.
