The thicker straps also help the bag sit more comfortably when carried on the back, making them a practical option for younger children as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is there a spot for smaller items?</strong></h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most useful features is the small zip pocket on the back, which is great for keeping valuables, keys or smaller items that you don&#8217;t want to get lost inside the main bag. Having that separate pocket helps kids stay a little more organised throughout the day.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><span class=\"wp-image-2748 inline-gatsby-image-wrapper gatsby-image-wrapper\" style=\"position:relative;overflow:hidden;max-width:100%;width:776px\" data-reactroot=\"\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"width:100%;padding-bottom:58.24742268041237%\"></span><img aria-hidden=\"true\" src=\"data:image/png;base64,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\" alt=\"\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;object-position:center;opacity:0;transition-delay:500ms\"/><picture><source srcSet=\"/static/74e7b5d19a712f7d94c23e6427f735ac/8a773/5.png 194w,\n/static/74e7b5d19a712f7d94c23e6427f735ac/d0520/5.png 388w,\n/static/74e7b5d19a712f7d94c23e6427f735ac/97f2a/5.png 776w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px\"/><img sizes=\"(max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px\" srcSet=\"/static/74e7b5d19a712f7d94c23e6427f735ac/8a773/5.png 194w,\n/static/74e7b5d19a712f7d94c23e6427f735ac/d0520/5.png 388w,\n/static/74e7b5d19a712f7d94c23e6427f735ac/97f2a/5.png 776w\" src=\"/static/74e7b5d19a712f7d94c23e6427f735ac/97f2a/5.png\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;object-position:center;opacity:1;transition:opacity 500ms\"/></picture><noscript><picture><source srcset=\"/static/74e7b5d19a712f7d94c23e6427f735ac/8a773/5.png 194w,\n/static/74e7b5d19a712f7d94c23e6427f735ac/d0520/5.png 388w,\n/static/74e7b5d19a712f7d94c23e6427f735ac/97f2a/5.png 776w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px\" /><img loading=\"eager\" sizes=\"(max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px\" srcset=\"/static/74e7b5d19a712f7d94c23e6427f735ac/8a773/5.png 194w,\n/static/74e7b5d19a712f7d94c23e6427f735ac/d0520/5.png 388w,\n/static/74e7b5d19a712f7d94c23e6427f735ac/97f2a/5.png 776w\" src=\"/static/74e7b5d19a712f7d94c23e6427f735ac/97f2a/5.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;opacity:1;width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;object-position:center\"/></picture></noscript></span></figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Are the bags water-resistant?</strong></h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes.
