THESE DURABLE KIDS’ BACKPACKS WILL ACTUALLY LAST ALL YEAR

Kids tend to put their book bags through the wringer in school, which is why we’re only interested in ones that have the same quality as a backpack a grown-up would carry. Keep in mind that heavy backpacks can cause issues in your child’s neck and shoulders over time, so you’ll want to make sure they’re carrying it correctly to help ward off any pain before it starts.

So, aside from making sure your kid’s backpack is stylish and functional, you want to make sure you bring home a quality backpack that’s designed to go as easy on your kid’s back as possible. It’s also not a bad idea to keep an eye on what your kid is carrying back and forth to school to make sure there aren’t books or binders in the book bag that don’t need to be there. Lightening up their load can really help!

Ready to choose the perfect backpack for your kid? From pre-K to high school, here are the top kids’ backpacks that are packed with personality and designed to take all the rough-and-tumble fun along the way.

Sometimes, it’s good to give your kid options when it comes to carrying. Books, binders, and lunch can cause little backs to bend in ways that aren’t the healthiest. Let your kid break up the routine with a backpack that can be rolled to the bus, then worn like a traditional backpack “like all the other kids.”
