MontiiCo Backpacks vs Mini Backpacks: Which One Is Right for Your Child?

Whether your little one is off to daycare, starting school, or heading on their next big adventure, having the right backpack makes all the difference. At MontiiCo, we’ve designed our Backpacks to be fun, functional, and built to last — no matter the age or stage.

So, what’s the difference between our Large Backpack and our Mini Backpack (previously known as the Junior Backpack)? Let’s take a closer look!

The Mini Backpack – Made for Little Adventures (14L Capacity)

Designed for preschool and daycare, the Mini Backpack is the perfect first backpack for younger kids who still want to carry their own gear — without being weighed down.

Why you’ll love it:

• Lightweight and durable, perfect for little shoulders

• Two roomy compartments for snacks, spare clothes, or treasures from the playground

• Easy-grip zips made for small hands

• Soft foam back panel for everyday comfort

• Side pockets to fit MontiiCo Fusion 350ml and 475ml Drink Bottles

• Sewn name tag inside, so it always finds its way home

From daycare to playdates and sleepovers, the Mini Backpack is built to keep up with your little one’s big adventures.

The Large Backpack – Built for Big Days (29L Capacity)

When it’s time for school, the Large Backpack steps up. Spacious, strong, and designed for busy days, it’s the ultimate all-rounder for kids who need a little extra room.
