Kids' travel bag

Kids' travel bag: backpacks and swimming bags for getaways, from £24.90 to £84.90

For a child, the best travel bag is often a backpack in their size: they carry it themselves, keep their hands free in the station or airport and pack their small belongings in it. This page brings together lightweight kids' backpacks, patterned models for girls or boys, a swimming bag and a set with a pencil case, for the weekend, family holidays or days out.

Small bags for a weekend or a day out

• The waterproof cartoon kids' backpack (£24.90) is the lowest price on the page; its listing designates it for the pool, travel and school, in coffee, navy, grey or pink.
• The lightweight colourful backpack (£39.90), in waterproof nylon, is designed for the youngest, from nursery: a comforter, a snack, a cardigan.
• The wet and dry separation bag (£29.90), in waterproof Oxford, keeps a wet swimsuit apart from dry clothes: useful at the beach, the pool or after sport.

Patterned backpacks, for girls and boys

• For a girl, the unicorn backpack comes in small and large sizes, in pink, blue or purple.
• The Lion King backpack, with Simba and his raised ears, and the canvas Anime backpack (One Piece, Naruto, Totoro and others) appeal to children who choose their own bag.
• The Capybara 3-piece set (£54.90) combines a backpack, a handbag and a pencil case, handy for separating what needs to stay within reach during the journey.

Ergonomic bags for long journeys

For a child who carries their bag for a long time, an ergonomic back spreads the load better. The ergonomic primary school backpack comes in 38 × 28 × 18 cm or 41 × 32 × 21 cm. The large-capacity model (£79.90, in 39 × 28 × 15 cm) lasts up to secondary school.

How do you choose a kids' travel bag?

• By age: a small size for the youngest, which shouldn't go above the top of the shoulders; a larger bag from primary school.
• By trip: a backpack is enough for a weekend at the grandparents'; for a week, it goes with a child's suitcase or the parents' suitcase.
• By what they carry: their own wash bag, a comforter, a book and a water bottle. Let your child pack their bag with you; they will know where to find their things.
• By plane: a kids' backpack generally slips under the seat; check the dimensions required by the airline.
