What’s a decent size nursery bag for a toddler?

[regementaria]

Daughter’s new preschool needs them to keep their lunch, water bottle and spare change of clothes on the peg for storage reasons.

She is 100cm, not hugely petite but a lot of the backpacks I have seen are comically huge.

Can anyone recommend a backpack which will fit a lunchbox, a rolled up tracksuit and a small water bottle?

it’s too much of a squeeze for things listed as ‘nursery bag’ and I don’t want a massive one either.

There are medium sized backpacks in decathlon that would fit what you describe. Otherwise a drawstring bag might work?

Just take a shopping type bag (bag for life or similar). We don’t have to pack lunch, but I put a week’s worth of clothes in a bag for the week that stays on the peg to save packing a bag every morning. They could then just bring in a lunchbox every day.

I use Samsonite’s Disney backpack. It was approx £7 from Tesco. Holds a large lunchbox, slim water bottle, and spare change of clothes.

thanks but we will walk to nursery so i would rather they got used to holding their own stuff

There are loads of mini backpacks online.

I love how kids do it in Spain. They have pull along school bags! And yes they can be put on pegs via the hook at the top.

Cath Kidston "Cath Kids" range used to do backpacks in small (good for toddlers), medium (preschooler size) and large (school age). We started with a small one which just about took a toddler outfit, then progressed to a medium when the clothes and lunchbox got bigger and wouldn't fit in the tiny one any more. There are loads of them on eBay (just check measurements), or you might get one at Next or another outlet, or it looks like Jojo Maman Bebe do small and medium size bags as well which may be similat. Agree that typical schoolbag size is too big for nursery kids.

Lots on Vinted just trying to find some
which aren’t listed as ‘very good’ but actually fit for the bin!!

I’ll set some alerts. Thank you

Type "small backpack for kids" into Google.
Loads come up at various prices and many include a helpful photo of toddler wearing it for reference
