Product Information
Full details
The Kipling Jet 12 is a pint-sized backpack designed for kids, perfect for encouraging independence on outdoor adventures like exploring woods or family bike rides. Its key benefit is empowering young adventurers to carry their own supplies in a durable, organized, and hydration-compatible pack. While excellent for smaller loads and younger users, its 'pint-sized' capacity means it's best for essentials rather than extensive gear.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the Kipling Jet 12 suitable for school?
Yes, for younger children or for carrying lighter supplies like snacks, a water bottle, and a small notebook. Its 'pint-sized' nature means it won't fit large textbooks or binders.
What is the age range for this backpack?
It is designed for kids, typically suitable for preschool to early elementary school-aged children, depending on their size and what they need to carry.
Does it come with a hydration bladder?
No, the Kipling Jet 12 is hydration-compatible, meaning it has a space for a bladder, but the bladder itself is sold separately.
Is the backpack waterproof?
The fabric is described as 'water-resistant,' meaning it will protect contents from light rain and splashes, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
How do I clean the backpack?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry. Do not machine wash to preserve the fabric and structural integrity.
What is the capacity of the Kipling Jet 12?
While a specific liter capacity isn't provided, it's described as 'pint-sized,' indicating it's a smaller backpack designed for essentials and light loads for children.
Where is the internal name tag located?
The internal name tag is typically located inside the main compartment, often stitched into the lining or near the top opening.
Troubleshooting
Backpack straps keep slipping off shoulders
Ensure the shoulder straps are tightened sufficiently. Make sure the adjustable sternum strap is buckled and adjusted to a comfortable, snug fit across the chest. This strap is crucial for stability.
Hydration bladder doesn't fit or is difficult to insert
Check the size of your hydration bladder. While compatible, the 'pint-sized' nature means larger bladders (over 1.5 liters) may not fit easily. Ensure the bladder is not overfilled. Try inserting it empty first, then filling it once inside the compartment.
Whistle is not making a sound
Check for any obstructions in the whistle's opening. Ensure your child is blowing into it with enough force. If it's still not working, inspect for any damage.
Stains on the fabric
Since the fabric is stain-resistant, most fresh stains can be wiped off with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap or detergent and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
