A lightweight 5L backpack for little explorers, with a padded back, soft-edge straps, side pockets, and an adjustable sternum strap.
Product Description
Little explorers deserve a backpack that feels made for them. The Deuter Pico 5L gives toddlers and young kids their own comfortable place for snacks, small treasures, and everyday adventure essentials without overwhelming their smaller frame.
Designed for children ages 2 and up, the Pico pairs a soft padded back with S-shaped shoulder straps and Soft-Edge finishes for comfortable carrying. A 2-way adjustable sternum strap helps keep the pack positioned while kids walk, explore, and stay on the move.
The 5-liter main compartment offers room for the little things that matter on a day outside, while two elastic side pockets keep frequently reached-for items close by. From preschool mornings and family outings to neighborhood walks and afternoons collecting sticks, rocks, and leaves, it is a practical first backpack for real outdoor childhoods.
Why Parents Love It
- Made for little shoulders: S-shaped shoulder straps with Soft-Edge finishes are designed for comfortable carrying.
- Comfortable against the back: A soft padded back panel adds everyday carrying comfort.
- Adjustable fit: The 2-way adjustable sternum strap helps keep the backpack comfortably positioned during active days.
- Kid-sized storage: A 5-liter main compartment gives young explorers room for small essentials without the bulk of a larger pack.
- Easy-access side pockets: Two elastic pockets offer convenient storage for frequently used items.
- Made for growing independence: Kids can carry a few of their own essentials, treasures, and adventure finds on everyday outings.
Built for Real Outdoor Use
The Pico is sized for the everyday adventures that make childhood memorable: preschool drop-offs, walks around the neighborhood, family trail time, playground afternoons, and trips where kids inevitably come home with a new collection of outdoor treasures.
Its compact shape and child-focused carrying system make it an approachable first backpack for children learning to pack and carry a few things of their own. It is simple, functional, and made for longer days of movement, curiosity, and exploration.

FOUNDED BY WOMEN. BUILT FOR ADVENTURE.
ODSS was started by mothers who saw firsthand how time outside builds resilient, confident kids. What began as helping outdoor schools equip students for all-weather learning grew into a bigger mission: Help families raise resilient, confident kids by making it easier for children to stay outside longer.
Testimonials
For us, the right gear from ODSS supports what we believe most about childhood. When children are able to be outside every day, in all seasons, they become tenacious, confident, and develop an authentic relationship with the land.

Ordering bulk with Outdoor School Shop was just as easy and seamless as I had hoped! As we open up a new program, preparing our first group of kiddos for any weather was at the top of our priority list, and ODSS came through with insight, expertise, and the coolest, most dependable gear around! Thank you ODSS!
