Sac à dos Patagonia Refugito pour enfants 18 L - Mirage

This rucksack is ridiculously expensive, however, it's the perfect size for my 6 year old, it's very well designed - the pockets and storage are perfect, the weight distribution is good and the straps support my child's back in the right places. It's a nice design and at the end of the day I will pay more for a company like Patagonia that is taking impressive action to reduce its environmental impact. The only downside of the rucksack is that it is not waterproof or shower proof. I'd still recommend it and buy it again. I've looked everywhere and the other child rucksack equivalents are either that little bit too small, badly designed or use cheap materials that damage our planet.

My 12 year old has a different colour-way of this bag and it is so good that we decided to buy our 7 year old one too. It's big enough to take homework, lunch and snacks. The outside pockets will take our Klean Kanteens and the straps hold a jumper. Great for day trips or for packing light for an overnight trip. Expensive but worth it!

Just in case, like me, you suffer huge work bag indecision I have found this one great option. I’m a short 5’2 and find the backpack plenty supportive enough - often walking 30/40 mins to work with it on my back.
It comfortably fits work laptop and charger, book, jumper, frugi pack a snack lunch bag, crochet yarn and thermos cup. With space on the side for a water bottle.
I love that you can zip valuables like keys and wallet into the top inside pouch but they are less easy for pickpockets etc.
A really great and versatile day backpack!

Got this for our 8 year old for school. Were looking for something less structured but not entirely unstructured. Also looking for something with a nice wide opening for easy packing. The previous bag had been a Frugi backpack and it had served us well. Enter the refugito. Seen, carted, and checked out in a jiffy. Ticks all the boxes and looks "cool enough for school". It is pricey, but we find our money is well spent with Patagonia.

I was looking for an out and about bag for my tall 11 year old. The Frugi Adventurers backpacks have served us well until now but we needed something a bit bigger and more neutral. The brief was that it had to comfortably hold two Klean Kanteens; it had to be wearable by an adult; it had to last and it had to look 'cool'. This design of bag fits the bill perfectly. There is plenty of space in the bag; Klean Kanteens fit well in the pockets (including the TKWide ones) and the straps at the front allow a jumper or light coat to be fixed to the outside when we are out on our bikes. At 5'9'', I can also wear the bag comfortably with plenty of room for adjustment too. This was our first Patagonia purchase but it won't be our last. And yes, the bag is not cheap but you get what you pay for. Recommended.
