Deuter Junior 18L Children's Backpack – Comfortable Alpine-Style Kids Backpack

Designed for young explorers

The Deuter Junior 18L backpack is the first mountaineering pack made for children starting around age five. Its compact 18 liter capacity fits essentials for day trips, school outings, and family adventures. The alpine-inspired silhouette pairs with kid friendly details that invite little athletes to try new challenges with confidence.

Comfort that travels with them

Key comfort features include adjustable S-shaped Soft-Edge shoulder straps that reduce neck strain and a chest strap that helps transfer the load evenly. The Airstripes back system combines two contoured foam profiles with a breathable AirMesh liner to keep the back cooler and the pack close to the body on longer treks.

• The Airstripes system stays secure and snug while maximizing ventilation for warmer days.
• Two contoured, air-channeled foam profiles reduce contact area and improve air circulation.
• Ergonomic, adjustable straps support a comfortable carry as kids grow and explore.

Practical, kid-friendly features

Thoughtful touches make everyday use a breeze. A name label inside helps prevent playground mixups, and kid-friendly buckles simplify on the go. The 18 L pack includes versatile storage and easy access for snacks, maps, and small gadgets.

• Two elastic side pockets, a zippered lid compartment, and a stretch front pocket for quick access.
• Adjustable sternum belt and a secure key clip for small essentials.
• Reflective details boost visibility during early morning or late afternoon outings.
• Durable 600D PES fabric built to keep up with active youngsters.
