Buddy Backpack

The Elemental Mermaid Buddy Backpack is a 12L kids backpack sized for kindergarten and early elementary school, with room for an A4 folder, two water bottle side pockets and a front charm panel kids can decorate.

Key Features of the Buddy Kids Backpack

Built to last. Durable backpack construction with high-quality YKK zippers.

Durable and Lightweight Backpack for Preschool and School

The Buddy Backpack's 12L capacity is small enough for preschool and kindergarten kids to carry on their own, yet big enough for a folder, a pencil case and a snack. That makes it a practical preschool backpack, kindergarten backpack and elementary school backpack in one.

YKK zippers are known for running smoothly and holding up to daily use, so little hands can open and close every pocket without help. The durable construction is made for drop-offs, playground benches and the bus floor.

Kids Backpack With Chest Strap for Comfortable Carrying

The adjustable chest strap clips across the front to keep both shoulder straps in place, so the backpack doesn't slide off small shoulders on the walk to class. The padded shoulder straps adjust as your child grows, from the first day of preschool to the early elementary years. Built-in utility loops on the straps give kids a spot to clip a small accessory within easy reach.

Kids Backpack With Water Bottle Holder for Daily Convenience

Two water bottle side pockets keep drinks upright and outside the main compartment, so a spill never reaches folders or homework. Kids can reach their water bottle without taking the backpack off, which helps with school hydration during recess and after-school activities.

The side pockets also hold a snack when they aren't carrying a bottle. Pair the backpack with an Elemental Splash Pop or Core Pop kids water bottle for a matching school set.
