When traveling, every little thing that can make your trip easier helps. If you’re traveling with kids, setting them up with the best travel backpack can (literally) take a load off of you. Not only can it help you pack easier, your kid(s) will also be able to bring along their accessories, snacks and toys, without taking up too much space. Plus you may even get your bag back all to yourself (or at least most of it).
But, how do you know which kids travel pack to get?
To help make this process easier for you, I have put together 15 of the best travel backpacks for kids, tweens and toddlers into our favourites list.
We’ve broken our choices down into the best kids travel backpacks for older kids 4 and up with an indication of best age range per pack, and the best toddler backpacks, perfect for travel.
Why A Kids Travel Backpack?
With so many choices for travel luggage out there, you may be wondering if my kid really needs something extra to lug around and if so why a pack?
Although your child may not need a kids backpack while traveling, it can definitely come in handy, especially if you plan on doing a bit of hiking. We consider backpacks to be travel essentials in our household.
Plus they can also be used for school, summer camps and other activities, cutting down on costs of multiple bags.
If you set your young adventurer up with a sturdy travel bag, they will be able to carry what they want and need themselves. That means that you can use your own bags to carry what you want, rather than having your bag overflowing with everyone elses gear.
Not only does putting a backpack on your little one significantly help you out, it can also teach them self-sufficiency. By helping them decide what to (and what not to) pack, they’ll begin understanding needs versus wants.
Also, since they will be in charge of carrying and keeping up with it throughout your adventures, they can learn the importance of their belongings, as well as responsibility.
While this may be more of a childhood long goal rather than an instant fix, it can help starting them off early. We’ve been doing this with our daughter since she was 18 months old, and she loves picking out what should go in there. True there are times we have to say, no you can’t bring all your lego, stuffies, and 25 snacks.
What Type Of Travel Bags Should I Choose?
Depending on the age and capabilities of your children, and where you are traveling to, there are many types of children’s backpacks and luggage to choose from.
- Consider whether you are travelling carry-on only, and need enough room for all their clothes and travel gear. Or if their bag is to be used as a daypack for travel activities, toys, and snacks only.
- Will you be hiking, or spending long days walking around? A well fitting small backpack might better suit your itinerary.
- Younger children may need a backpack for toddlers that has a harness, if you worry they are prone to run off. Or perhaps rolling ride on luggage may better suit your travel style.
Whichever travel pack you choose for your children, getting them involved in before you buy, can help decrease resistance to wearing one.
Here are a few different types of kids travel bags:
Kids Travel Packs
Kids travel backpacks are durable, versatile, and lightweight, leaving your child’s hands free as the straps fit over their shoulders. They can be used as a kids hiking backpack, as a daybag or overnight bag and even as a school bag. This gives you more for your money.
Rolling Travel Luggage
Rolling luggage is great for resort vacations, road trips, or straightforward trips, where you don’t need the flexibility of hands free luggage. There are a few types of rolling luggage to choose from:
- Ride-on Suitcase – Perfect for young kids, these are a small rolling suitcase with 2 or 4 wheels designed for young children to sit on.
- Suitcase with wheels – Think a small version of adult suitcases, with 2 or 4 wheels.
- Rolling Backpack – This type is a hybrid between a backpack and suitcase, and may be easier for kids to pull along, than carry. Usually you can also carry them on your back. Not really suitable to use as a hiking or daypack.
We’ve found over the years that not all types of travel bags work well for all parts of our journies. Between long haul flights, local transportation (bus, car, taxis) and different types of daily activities there isn’t a one size fits all bag.
Try to choose travel bag that will work the best for the majority of your trip. Plus keep extra space in your pack for the inevitable extra treasure or two, water bottle or snacks. Read on for our list of the best kids travel bag for different types of travel.
Check out our tips of what to look for when buying a good travel backpack for kids at the end of this post.
Best Kids Travel Backpacks (for Kids 4+)
1. Deuter Junior Kid’s Backpack – Top Pick
⭐️ Top Pick in “Best Travel Backpack For Kids 5+”
If you don’t have time to read the rest of the reviews, look no further. Coming in as my top pick is the Junior Kids Backpack by Deuter.
Whether your child is using their travel bag as a carry-on bag, an overnight bag or a day pack out at Disney or on a hiking adventure, this durable travel backpack will be well used and loved.
Why this is our top pick:
1. Comfort
A comfortable backpack will ensure that your kids are happier and less likely to complain. Or leave you to carry all their stuff.
Happy kids = Happy parents.
Its S-shaped shoulder straps are made to prevent neck and shoulder pain by evenly distributing the weight of the bag.
Another important aspect of this bag are the buckles on both the front and backside of the Deuter backpack. Not only will they keep their items safe, it will also help distribute weight even more so to help alleviate back pain.
Plus your kids can use it as a hiking backpack no problem.
2. Storage & Size
The Deuter Junior Kids Backpack is 18L, a versatile size for different lengths of trips, and is suitable as a travel backpack for kids 5+.
It could even be used for carry-on travel for a week or more, if strategic with your packing list. Fit a tablet, a weekend’s worth of clothes, some toys, books, toiletries and other small items.
As far as storage goes, they will have many different options. There are side and front pockets, as well as the huge main compartment that’s secured with a cinch. Kids will like being able to store all their special gear in the various pockets.
3. Extra Features & Quality
The Deuter Junior Backpack is durable. As are all Deuter bags (going on 8 years with my adult bag now), which is an important consideration, when paying a little bit more for quality.
Extra features include a name tag within the bag so you don’t have to worry about it being accidentally claimed by another family (or family member). Plus it’s available in a variety of colors to suit your child’s personality.

2. REI Co-op Tarn 18 Pack – Top Tweens Hiking Backpack

Perfect for: Outdoor Adventures & Full days Sightseeing
REI’s Tarn 18 Pack for kids comes in as the top choice for 8-12 year olds.
While it’s made for 8-12, many parents have raved about this durable, well made pack for 6 & 7 year olds as well (and younger).
This is the perfect pack for a day hike, a day at a theme park or out at the beach, as there is plenty of room for all their gear, plus space for a hydration reservoir.
At 18L, this also can fit enough clothes for a weekend getaway as well.
There are so many features, I don’t know where to start. This kids backpack has a large main zippered compartment, a zippered front pocket, a front stuff pocket, plus a zippered internal pocket to store items more securely.
With padded shoulder straps, hip belt and a padded ventilated back, comfort is the word of the day. If they’re complaining, it won’t be about this bag.

3. CamelBak Kid’s Scout Hydration Pack
⭐️ Perfect For Preschoolers & Grade Schoolers: + Busy, full days & handy hydration
If you struggle to get your kids to drink more water during the day, then this pack is for you.
Another close favorite on our list is the CamelBak Hydration Pack Backpack. This is the perfect kids hiking backpack if you are planning hikes, a lot of walking or sightseeing for the day.
I don’t know about you, but we find it challenging some days to make sure our kids drink enough water. To be honest, I struggle with this myself.
With the CamelBak Scout Hydration Backpack, we like the combo of our kids staying easily hydrated, with enough room to carry everything they need for the day in one bag. For some reason it is more enticing to drink water out of a tube on their back.
It comes with a 1.5 liter water reservoir, reflective material, and even a sternum strap. The sternum strap even includes a safety whistle. All three of these characteristics make it a great choice for travelers that enjoy outdoor activities.
Since it is a high quality and lightweight bag, with various safety features, there are really no obvious reasons not to add this to you list of travel backpacks to buy.

5. Bago Packable Lightweight Backpack
⭐️ Perfect For Kids & Adults: Lightweight packable carry-on or extra bag for souvenirs
The Bago Packable water resistant backpack is another of my top picks for best travel backpacks for kids, especially when traveling on planes.
There are times when you just need a little extra room & a lightweight bag they can pull out, or store easily, depending on their needs. Not only is this bag less than 1lb, it expands to 25L and also folds down in itself into a little pouch.
The Bago packable backpack is so small, you may just want to buy an extra one to throw in your luggage yourself.
Save on overweight baggage frees from all the souvenirs your family bought. Or add it to the adults bag for day trips as extra storage, just in case.
Although a foldable bag is not necessary, it can come in handy when traveling through airports. Since most airlines have size requirements, having the Bago Packable backpack will allow you to always meet the standard size.
Another perk of this travel bag is that it has a lot of storage in its many different compartments. Help keep your child’s entertainment, snacks, & extra clothes well organized, so there’s less Mom / Dad I can’t find it (said in a whiny voice).
The only real downside of this backpack is that the straps are unpadded so it could potentially be a bit uncomfortable with all day wear.

- Water & Tear resistant fabric

Best Toddler Backpacks for Traveling
Traveling with toddlers is a whole other kettle of fish.
While your toddler doesn’t need to have their own backpack, our family has found that it is easier to have a separate toddler travel bag just for them. Especially on road trips and airplane travel, (even if we end up carrying it for them half the time).
We usually put a change of clothes or pjs, small toys, crayons and paper and their stuffy.
Backpacks for toddlers can be fun, small and useful for carrying just a few items. We’ve put together the best toddler backpacks that your young child will love.

Other perks of this toddler backpack include two side mesh compartments, padded straps, sternum straps, and even a name tag.
It is also only 9.9 ounces, which makes it one of the lightest travel backpacks you can get.

If you have been to any outdoor stores, you have probably seen this brand before.
Although it is a bit pricey, the Fjallraven Kanken Mini water repellant bags are high quality and very durable small bags.
While originally they were released as a backpack for Swedish school kids, both adults and children can use this pack.
Bonus for those times you have to carry your kids pack, or you want to “borrow” it to use as a cute purse. I am eying the lime green version myself. So fun.

What To Look For When Purchasing a Travel Backpack for Kids
When buying a travel backpack for your child, there are a few things you will want to take into consideration. Since kids are much tinier humans than adults, there are certain questions you should ask yourself before deciding on which backpack will be best.
1. What Size Backpack Does My Child Need?
To get an accurate size of backpack, first you must measure your child from their shoulder line, where the straps will rest, to their waistline.
Then add 2 inches to the measurement, to get the maximum height of backpack your child should wear.
When your child is wearing their pack, the top should sit about 0.78″-2″ below the tops of their shoulders, and rest near the top of their pelvis, or up to 4″ below the waist.
Average child’s back sizes:
| AGE | BACK HEIGHT (inches) | WIDTH (inches) |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 11 | 6 |
| 5 | 12 | 6.5 |
| 6 | 12.5 | 7 |
| 7 | 13 | 7 |
| 8 | 14 | 7.5 |
| 9 | 14.5 | 8 |
| 10 | 15 | 8 |
| 11 | 15.5 | 8 |
| 12 | 15.5 | 8.5 |
| 13 | 16.5 | 9 |
2. Purpose of the Backpack
One of the first things you should consider is what the backpack will actually be used for.
For example, you will need to carry different items when hiking than you would for a stroll through the city. Likewise, they may only need a backpack for carry on luggage, rather than daily use on your trip.
If you know what the purpose of the backpack will be, it will be much easier to determine which options are the best travel backpacks for you to consider.
3. Weight – Choose Lightweight Travel Backpacks for Kids
Another thing you will want to ask yourself is how heavy is the empty backpack first, and if it will be okay on your kid’s back. I mean, even as adults, we don’t generally want to carry a heavy bag around all day. So, it’s safe to assume our children don’t either.
When considering the weight, you should also note how much you (or your child) will be packing in the backpack. Since that will add a significant amount of weight, it is important you factor it in when looking for the best travel bag for your kid.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, backpacks should weigh between 10% to 15% of your child’s body weight, never more. A kids backpack that’s too heavy can lead to shoulder, neck and back pain at any age. Not the best way to start or end a vacation.
4. Shoulder & Sternum Straps
Lastly, I recommend getting a bag with wide shoulder straps and a sternum strap. The wider shoulder strap allows the backpack’s weight to sit nicely on the shoulders, instead of digging into your child’s traps or shoulders.
Similarly, a sternum strap will also help distribute the weight evenly, rather than only pulling on shoulders and weighing down the back.
The more comfortable the travel backpack, the more willing your child will be to wear it.
Final Thoughts on Travel Backpacks for Kids
Finding the best travel backpack for kids does not have to be hard.
Once you have considered the purpose of the backpack, weight, and how the weight will be distributed, it really just comes down to your personal preference.
Whether you choose it based on brand, size, price, or style, you can’t go wrong with any of the kids backpacks listed on this page for travel, home or on the road.
FAQs:
Does my kid need a backpack when traveling?
If you have a backpack for your toddler or child, it will relieve you from having to carry everything yourself. This can also teach them to be slightly self-sufficient, by allowing them to decide what they want to bring and having to carry it around regularly.
What can my kid carry in their backpack when traveling?
When deciding what to pack in your kid’s bag, it depends on what they will want, use, and need. But, the options are pretty endless. Your kid’s backpack can have snacks, toys, tablets, extra clothes, or even souvenirs. You’ll want to keep their backpack light though and pack the main items and heavier items in their suitcase.
