Boys' Bags & Backpacks, Ages 2 to 8
Bags and backpacks for boys aged 2 to 8 are made for a small frame rather than an adult's. A little backpack holds a water bottle, a snack and a spare set of clothes for nursery. The same bag works for the walk to Reception or a weekend at the grandparents'. A bag he picked himself is one he will carry without fuss, so let him choose the colour or print.
MINOTI clothes are sized by height in centimetres, but bags are not, so check the size on the product page and go by the child rather than a label. The bag should sit between his shoulder blades and finish above his waist. If it bumps against the backs of his legs, it is too big. Tighten both straps so it sits close to his back. To clean it, empty it, shake out the crumbs and follow the care label.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's Bags & Backpacks collection in the boys' accessories range contains small bags and backpacks for boys aged 2 to 8, for nursery, the first school years and days out, with the size of each bag shown on its product page.
What size bag should a 3-year-old carry to nursery?
For a 3-year-old, choose a small bag that sits between the shoulder blades and stops above the waist. Keep the load light: a drink, a snack and a change of clothes is plenty at that age, and he will be able to take it on and off himself.
How do I clean a child's backpack after a term at nursery?
Empty it, shake out the crumbs and wipe the inside with a damp cloth, then check the care label before you try a machine wash. Leave it open to air dry for 24 hours so no damp stays trapped inside.
