Backpack Bundles

For kindy to Year 2, the Junior Backpack & Lunch Bag Bundle: a 25L backpack, matching insulated lunch bag and pencil case, a Duo bento with a 200ml food jar and a 750ml water bottle. For Year 3 up, the Axis School Bag & Lunch Box Bundle adds a 28L backpack with a 15-inch laptop sleeve, library bag, pencil case, insulated lunch tote bag and leakproof silicone bento.

Think of the bundle as the starting school kit, then check the school list for anything outside it, such as stationery or a library bag. Practise packing the lunch pieces together before the first day. Let your child choose a consistent spot for the bottle and pencil case so they can put things back after use. Label each removable item; a matching print helps recognition but does not replace a name.

Check which Axis bundle you are opening. A backpack, library bag and pencil case set covers school carry gear; a school bag and lunch box bundle includes different lunch pieces as well. The similar names make the contents list worth reading. For a student bringing a laptop, compare the actual device and its protective case with the sleeve dimensions before relying on the screen-size description alone.

The saving varies with the bundle and current offer. Compare the Junior, Axis and Little Adventures listings using their exact included pieces, then check the current bundle price against those items bought separately.

Compare the exact pieces in the set with the individual items you would otherwise buy. A saving is useful when those are the pieces you need; an extra bag that stays in the cupboard adds little value. Prices and promotions can change, so use the current product page and cart total for the final comparison. Check the selected colour as well, because the photos and included pieces belong to that particular listing.

Yes. In the Junior bundles the Duo bento and food jar fit inside the matching lunch bag, and in the Axis School Bag & Lunch Box Bundle the Insulated Lunch Tote Bag slips inside the Axis backpack.

Start with the largest container, then allow for the smaller pieces you actually carry: a snack box, cutlery, cooling pack and perhaps a food jar. Check that the bag closes without pressing hard on the lids. Matching colours do not prove that every possible combination fits at once. If you already own a bag, compare its usable space with the dimensions of the containers before buying another full set.

The Axis bundles. The 28L Axis backpack has a padded 15-inch laptop sleeve, a 1L bottle pocket and plain two-tone colours with no cartoon prints to outgrow.

Measure the laptop itself, including any protective case, rather than relying only on the screen-size label. Two devices sold as the same screen size can have different outer dimensions. The sleeve should hold the device without forcing its corners or straining the zip. Keep the charger organised separately and avoid pressing a hard bottle or bulky lunch container against the device when the rest of the bag is packed.

Yes. Junior and Axis backpacks both have a D-ring for the Magnetic Hat Clip, and the Little Adventures Starter Kit includes the hat clip free.

Choose a secure attachment point that is easy to reach when the bag is hanging up. Test it with the actual hat, because thick seams and differently shaped brims sit differently between the magnets. Before heading out, give the attached hat a gentle check and make sure it is clear of the ground. The clip is for carrying a hat between uses; put the hat back on for outdoor play.
