Affenzahn children's rucksacks are the perfect companion for everyday kindergarten life. They offer enough space for a lunch box and water bottle - and of course for their favourite cuddly toy. Thanks to the size and height-adjustable belt system and the chest strap, our backpacks offer an ergonomic fit and are designed for the height of kindergarten children. The shoulder straps and back are well padded to make carrying as comfortable as possible. Our rucksacks are designed to be particularly lightweight, as small children should never carry more than 10% of their own weight on their backs. The reflectors ensure that children are clearly visible even in the dark. Several compartments keep everything organised and the buckles are easy to open, even for small children's hands. Thanks to the robust material and the dirt and water-repellent surface, Affenzahn children's rucksacks are durable. They are produced conscientiously and have been awarded the bluesign seal of approval. Last but not least, the unmistakable design with animal faces and pulling tongues makes the Affenzahn children's rucksacks so popular with children: The Affenzahn animal motifs turn our rucksacks into true friends!
Due to its size, we recommend the Little Friend as a starter backpack for 1 to 3-year-olds starting kindergarten. When the kindergarten children get older and excursions are also planned, the Big Friend also offers sufficient space for this. The larger rucksack model is suitable for children from around the age of 4.
With a capacity of eight litres, the Big Friend offers around twice as much space as the Little Friend. The Big Friends from Affenzahn also have a few other features for playing and additional pockets for organising: - Velcro paws - Flexible front pocket - Outer pockets - Treasure pockets
The materials we use for our Affenzahn children's rucksacks are water and dirt repellent. If dirt does get in, the children's rucksacks are easy to clean. Our products can be safely cleaned with warm water at 40°C. We recommend that you take the term "hand wash" literally and clean our backpacks in a washing bowl (or in the shower) using a sponge and a mild detergent only on the soiled areas. We do not recommend washing in the washing machine. As our materials have a water column of at least 1500 mm and are therefore highly water-repellent, the water cannot penetrate the fabric but simply flows past it.
We use fabrics made from 50% recycled PET bottles. Three PET bottles are used for the Little Friend and six for the Big Friend. We use fabrics certified by bluesign®. This ensures that harmful chemicals are avoided throughout the entire production process.
As a FOND OF brand, we are a member of the Fair Wear Foundation. This organisation checks the working conditions and compliance with human rights in the production facilities. This includes fair wages and working hours for the employees of our production partners. FOND OF BAGS brands such as Affenzahn are also bluesign® partners and thus stand for sustainable production without toxic chemicals.
