What goes in the bag on an ordinary morning? Lay out the bottle, lunch box and spare clothes first. That gives you a better idea of the space you need than an age recommendation alone.
Two sizes, the same bear
The small Mr. Bear backpack measures 21 × 10 × 25 cm and is recommended from age 2. The regular Mr. Bear backpack measures 23 × 13 × 31 cm and is recommended from age 3. Trixie gives the measurements as length, width and height. The regular bag is 6 cm taller.
Try it with your own lunch box
Measure the lunch box at its widest point, including the rim of the lid. External bag dimensions do not tell you how wide the opening is. Lay spare clothes beside the lunch box before comparing the two sizes.
What can your child reach?
Both Mr. Bear bags have adjustable padded shoulder straps, a chest strap and a separate front pocket. Put something small in the pocket and let your child try the zip. Explore more bags and lunch essentials from Trixie.
