A box of new backpacks arrived at the Camping Kidz office yesterday and caused much excitement when we found the new Trixi and Eddie bike packs.

These look quite different from the other Vaude packs we have in stock. In solid colours, instead of bright prints, these are likely to appeal to older children who like the look of adult bags but don’t have the shoulder width for carrying them.

No.1 Son was delighted to discover that the Eddie 10 litre pack is just big enough to hold his book bag (this is the only kids back pack we have found that is large enought to hold a book bag!), lunch box, pencil case and all the other “essentials” a boy has to take to school. So we’ve sold one already - that’s the first time I’ve sold something before listing it on the website ;o)

The 8 litre Vaude Trixi pack is available in red at £30 and the 10 litre Vaude Eddie (pictured - in anthracite/black) comes in at £35. Both bags are now available at http://www.littlewideworld.co.uk and if you are a fan of our Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/CampingKidz) you can purchase both bags via the “shop now” tab on our Facebook page and receive a 10% reduction on the list price.
