2. Best backpacks for kids by the campfire
Black Diamond Alpine Kids Travel Pack, £170, Amazon
This pack is a fantastic all-rounder, as it holds kids up to 50 pounds, or 70kg in weight, which is a lot of carrying around.
The pack has a spacious front zip, so you can open the pack with one hand and squeeze the kids inside. There are two large side pockets, and a smaller pocket for smaller kids, so they can rest easy no matter where you’re camping.
In the pack is a rain cover (which isn’t a standard, so you might want to opt for a rain flap instead), and it’s also big enough to fit a toddler.
For longer hikes (or long trips if you’re so inclined), this pack will hold a child up to 50 pounds and a child of between 5-15 inches. It also has a padded seat, which is great for long walks.
