The best toddler and baby backpacks for nursery

Our mum tester loved this bag and mentioned that she gets so many compliments from people about itand has found it really useful for her son's items.

With the option to personalise with a name, the boucle design is soft and makes it easy for washing. It has a front storage pocket that is ideal for storing nappies and wipes, while the larger compartment can fit a bottle and spare clothes in, making it ideal for nursery.

The Personalised Grey Dinosaur Print Medium Backpack gives you the choice of adding up to seven characters, meaning you can add your little one's names or initials.

Our mum tester found there to be plenty of room to add a spare change of clothes, water bottle and snacks, with the front pocket adding extra storage space.

This bag is a calming grey colour, with dinosaur favourites printed onto it. If your little one isn't into dinosaurs, they might prefer the Disney Toy Story Character Backpack.

The bag also wipes clean only, so it's not as practical for when cleaning stains. However, the material is really good quality, and our tester found it did wipe quite well.

Our mum tester, Lisa, said her daughter loved the fact that her name was on the Personalised Pink Bunny Medium Backpack. While described as a medium size too, she also added that there was more than enough space in the bag for all her daughters school belongings.

The bag also comes with two spaces on the sides of the bag for storing drinks bottles, or you could even store suncream in one of the sides. If you're not too bothered about a pink bag for nursery, you might prefer the Bluey and Bingo Ocean Shaker Backpack, which has an interactive glitter feature too.

This bag was also easy to wipe down and helped to keep the contents inside the bag dry. If you add a name, it'll also be easier for your little one to spot on their nursery peg.

With ample storage space for everything your little one needs for nursery, the Disney Toy Story Blue Character Backpack is also a sweet design for Toy Story fans.

Our mum tester, Lucy, mentioned that she could fit changing essentials and spare clothes in, with plenty of space for any other items. It has practical storage sections, including a front zip pocket, side pocket and an internal slip pocket.

Lucy found these sections were great at being able to find things in the bag, which also made it more practical for nursery teachers to find what they needed.

If your little one is a fan of Bluey, then they will love this Bluey and Bingo Ocean Shaker Rucksack! Featuring both Heeler pups, the bag has a translucent front pocket with shell shakers, so your little one can move them around the bag.

Described as spacious by out parent tester, there's plenty of room in the bag for all your tots nursery essentials. While it doesn't have compartments inside the bag, it does have a front and side pocket for separating items if needed, and a space for their water bottle to go.

The bag also doesn't have a chest strap, which if you'd rather have one then the Personalised Grey Dinosaur Backpack and the Pink Bunny Backpack do have one.

The Tiny Backpack About Friends has plenty of space for nursery essentials, such as a spare change of clothes. It's a lovely design, which our mum tester Natalie said her son loved, and it was comfortable for him to wear.

While you might prefer the Dinosaur Print Backpack alternative, this lovely backpack features a stegosaurus face and spike features. It also has padded, adjustable shoulder straps.

It's made with a showerproof outer, which Natalie also found relatively easy to clean.

If you're looking for a backpack and a lunchbag, why not go matching? The My 1st Years Lion Backpack and Lunch Bag Gift Set includes a lion-themed backpack and lunch bag, both customisable with your child’s name, making it uniquely theirs. The durable material is designed to withstand daily use, while the cute design adds a playful element to nursery essentials.

Our mum tester, Features & Reviews Editor Emily Gilbert loved having a separate lunch bag to store her son's bottles and lunch, leaving the backpack for toys, changing gear and more. She found there was more than enough room for everything her baby would need while spending an afternoon at his Nannys.

The Allan Backpack is available in several different designs, and our mum tester loved the Horse Dark Rosetta print for her daughter.

It has a front pocket as well as a double-zipped main compartment, which makes it easier to find items in the bag. While it doesn't have a pocket on the side for water bottles, which our tester would have preferred, so nothing risks getting wet inside the bag, it is a more eco-conscious choice.

Designed with minimal nursery essentials in mind, the Personalised Colourful Print Classic Mini Backpack looks perfect for your little one to take to nursery!

It features sweet characters such as an apple, bee and rainbow, and our mum tester found that it was easy to identify at nursery and she loved the name personalisation too.

There's a smaller front pocket for smaller essentials such as suncream, but the main pocket has enough space for a spare change of clothes and a sunhat if needed.

It's the right size for toddlers to wear themselves. However, adults might struggle to put it onto one shoulder to carry.

If you're looking for a backpack that doesn't require much space for nursery days, then the Personalised Pink Tiny Backpack is ideal. It's small enough to fit a spare pair of clothes in, but if you want to fit anything extra in, you'd need to opt for a bigger backpack, such as the Personalised Pink Bunny Medium Backpack.

This backpack is really easy to put on your little ones back, and it has a chest strap too to keep it secure. It's an ideal size for giving your toddler some independence when carrying their own bag to nursery. Our parent tester said that their daughter enjoyed being able to fasten the backpack on, and it was lightweight and comfortable for her to wear.
