The Little and Big Friends by Affenzahn differ in size, weight and subdivision.

The "Little Friends" series by Affenzahn is perfect for children between 1 and 3 years. With a capacity of about 4 litres, everything that is important for the start of kindergarten fits in: from the lunch box to the favourite cuddly toy!

For older and bigger children who also go on more frequent outings, we recommend the "Big Friends". They offer about twice as much space and additional pockets - the Big Friends are suitable for children from the age of 4.

The materials we use for our Affenzahn children's backpacks are water and dirt repellent. We use a PFC-free impregnation on the surface and a PU coating on the back. If dirt does get stuck, the children's backpacks are easy to clean. Our backpacks can be gently cleaned with warm water at 30°C. Please only clean our backpacks by hand and with as little water as possible, e.g., over a washing-up bowl (or in the shower) with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent, and only on the dirty areas. Please do not rub the dirty area, but only wipe or dab it gently. Then allow the backpack to dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated place, e.g., by hanging it upside down.

Our Affenzahn backpacks are water-repellent, which means that water rolls off the material. The material can withstand a light summer rain. In heavy rain, water can get through the seams, so you should protect your Small or Large Friend from heavy rain.
