Lucky Bums Kid's Cricket Backpack

Nicely made backpack. Perfect size for 5-10yo kids. I would recommend one of this size rather than a adult size for the little guys.

This backpack was borderline too small for my 8 year old. We purchased this for her to use at Girl Scout camp so she could carry her own sunblock, water bottle, water shoes, and towel. It barely fit those items, but then again I didn't want to weigh her down. If you're looking for a small backpack to carry essentials this would work out well, however if you need to carry large items or multiple items, find a bigger option. Remember your child shouldn't carry more than 10% of their body weight so if your child is 60 pounds then they shouldn't carry more than 6 pounds in their pack.

This company is great--they design their backpacks with kids bodies in mind, not just the standard size of a school folder. My child is 4, and therefore a bit in-between on sizes for many day hiking backpacks. It seems many are sized for toddlers, but won't be useful for more than a year or two. This one is sized for age 6 and up, but my child can comfortably wear it (at 38" in height), especially with the many adjustment areas available (chest clip and shoulder straps). There is a large main compartment, smaller zipper pocket, and dual water-bottle pockets on the side (comfortably fit our Thermos Foogo bottles). Reflective piping, and inside the main compartment is a separate hydration pocket we just use for storage. We may have a different or newer pack than the other reviewer received--it definitely is hydration compatible, with the area to put the tube thru to the shoulder strap, and elastic to hold the straw in place. Nice fabric, and no, it will probably not hold a school folder without bending it, but it is appropriately designed to keep the load in the right place for growing bodies. We bought this for traveling and day use--really happy with it.

Ordered two of these for Christmas. Thought they were a great alternative to the over-priced Camelbak. Unfortunately, received a simple backpack. No bladder, no hose, no bite valve. There wasn't even a hole to place a hose through if we wanted to add a bladder to the interior. This is not a hydration pack. Returned to Amazon and ran to our local REI to get the Camelbak "Scout" for our kids. They cost $50, but were truly hydration packs. Lesson learned.
