Get's the Kid Into Backpacking

By Eric McCammond Ranked #329 - Kids' Gear December 4, 2008

I bought this for my oldest daughter who is currently 8 years old. Overall, its a great little backpack. The external frame has endless adjustment options. I'm sure my daughter will be able to use it for several years. I that's one big advantage over an internal frame pack. The pack holds my daughter's sleeping bag, an extra change of clothes, a small water bladder, her flashlight, and some snacks. We recently hiked the Hakkoda loop in Northern Japan which gives some adults trouble. But, she kept trucking along (w/ only minor complaining;).

That being said, it is still an external frame backpack. With backpack technology today, this thing seems ancient.
