I got my youngest the Mini MULE when she was 4 because she wanted kit like the rest of us. It is very small and manageable for a 4 year old yet still allows them to store some items and start getting used to the responsibility and skills they will be learning. Lasted her 2 years.
If it wasnt pink I would offer it up to you in a swap of some kind because she is turning 7 next month and in need of a bigger BOB. |

Jetsfan, I built exactly what you’re looking for. I found a couple of small water bladder packs (one I think is Camelback the other is some off-brand). You can find them at most sporting goods stores and they are worth it when you kids feel like they are packing their own “gear” and water. Plus, it makes it easier for them to hydrate while hiking or other activities. As they get a little older, you can add some essentials and turn it into a “72-Hour” bag for emergencies or if they get lost (it goes without saying that you should make sure they are trained on what’s in their bag). These small bladder-packs are excellent for young kids when they’re old enough to hike on a trail…
Here are some pictures of what my kids used when they were younger (4 and 9):
