School’s Out! Is Your Child’s Travel Backpack Holiday-Ready?
Summer’s calling! The last term is now upon us, the days are stretching out, and that familiar question has already started: “Mum, Dad, where are we going this summer?” Whether you’re dreaming of sandy shores in Cornwall, jetting off to sunnier skies, or hitting the open road for a British adventure, it’s time to get planning. And at the top of your list? A travel backpack your child will love—sturdy, stylish, and actually useful (so it doesn’t mysteriously end up in your bag halfway through the trip).
Let’s Pack Your Travel Backpack!
We’re not about unicorn sparkles or making empty promises of your child suddenly becoming tidier. Our mini travel backpacks are made for the real world. These backpacks are sturdy, wipe-clean, and built to survive snack explosions, sudden weather changes, and the occasional tantrum-induced throw across the room.
Each backpack comes with:
-
A zipped main compartment that can actually fit more than just a banana and two crayons.
-
An internal tag to write your child’s name (because backpacks have a habit of ‘wandering’).
-
Adjustable shoulder straps - because not all children are the same size.
-
Two handy side pockets for water bottles or smoothies.
-
Padded shoulder straps to keep those shoulders comfortable, even on long days out.
-
A padded tech slot inside to keep laptops, ipads or other small gadgets safe and snug.
-
And most importantly, it’s lightweight, comfy, and not too bulky.
It’s got the function, but it doesn’t look boring either. Choose from Dusty Orange (a proper cheerful pop of colour) or Nice and Neutral (for the minimalist child). It’s the bag your child won’t moan about wearing - and let’s be honest, you’ve fought half the battle.
But... Will Your Child Actually Use It?
Short answer: YES.
Long answer: If they can stick their name on it and add a patch that screams “this is ME,” then suddenly the backpack becomes their thing.
Our alphabet patches let your child proudly claim their backpack with their initials or full name. Or maybe they’d rather go bold with something like “What Is Normal”, “Young Hawkings”, or “Fearless On Floor”. These aren’t just fun - they reflect your child’s personality.
And let’s not forget, when they’ve chosen the patches and placed them just the way they like, there’s a weird kind of backpack pride that kicks in. Suddenly, they’re not asking you to carry it. You’re lucky if they let you touch it.
Why You’ll Love These Backpacks as a Parent?
Right, enough about the children. Let’s talk about what you care about.
-
It’s durable - Made to last more than one school year or summer trip.
-
It’s easy to clean - Because you know how difficult it is to clean the yogurt spill inside a bag.
-
It encourages independence - Children love zipping up their own bag and feeling grown-up.
-
You’ll stop carrying their stuff - At last, you will get a chance to find some space for yourself in your own bag!
Plus, when you’re rushing out the door and your child shouts, “Where’s my toy car?!” - you’ll know it’s in their travel backpack, because for once, they actually packed it themselves.
Are You Going Somewhere This Summer?
Even if it’s just a day out at the zoo or a quick visit to the grandparents' home, having a reliable travel backpack makes life 10 times easier. You don’t have to carry snacks, toy dinosaurs, and wet wipes in your arms while trying to hold your child's hands in a car park. Everything’s in the bag. Job done.
By letting your child have their own backpack, you can get them involved in packing too. You’ll be surprised how responsible a 5-year-old becomes when they’ve got a bag they actually care about. Will they overpack? Absolutely. Will they learn? Hopefully. Will they enjoy the process? Definitely.
Now, Backpacks Won’t Be the Reason for Cancelling Any Trip!
Listen, school’s out, and summer chaos is about to begin. You’ve got enough on your plate without worrying about where the toy train went or how many bags you're carrying. A good backpack, like our Pachee personalised mini backpack, is a small help that makes a big difference.
So, before the next day rolls around and the children start climbing the furniture, get them kitted out with their own holiday-ready bags. It’s practical, personal, and - dare we say - pretty stylish too.
Trust us, your back and your shoulders will thank you.
