You're not ready to deal with back-to-school shopping, right?
Or maybe you are ready...because your kids are driving you
nuts at home! My kids are set on their backpack front because
we bought them most excellent bags last year. And yes,
they still look as good as new even with some serious use. (It
really does pay to invest in a good school bag.)
But if you find yourself in the position of having to help your kid
select a new school bag for the upcoming year, check out the slide
show for some of our favorite backpack picks for preschoolers to
high school kids. You may find yourself paying more than thirty
dollars for a backpack, but you'll also avoid having to buy a
new bag every year. Each bag listed in the slide show is durable
and lightweight. But perhaps more important for mom and dad, the
bags are easy to clean.
And before you purchase any backpack for your kids, make sure
you review our tips to pick out the best school
bag. You'll want to know what to look for in a
backpack design so your kids don't hurt their backs at the
expense of looking good.
Back to School: Let the hunt for the perfect backpack begin
editor
Preschool is a jungle.
Little ones don't really need backpacks for school, but it definitely makes them feel like big kids. Organic cotton backpacks by Mimi the Sardine are the perfect size for preschoolers and can carry a lunch, a sweater, and that small lovey for rough mornings on the playground.
