The Best Backpacks for Kids

how to pick a backpack

I have gotten my kids so many different backpacks over the years. I have learned through trial and error what is the best and what is needed.

Here are the top 5 things to consider when buying a kids' backpack for back to school.

1

Size

Pay close attention to dimensions.  Little kids need something smaller that they can handle themselves, and older kids need something to fit folders, books, etc.

2

outside water pocket

An elastic side water bottle pocket is an essential for me.  It saves you from soggy mishaps.

interior pockets

I also am a huge fan of at least 2 pockets in a backpack - the small front pocket for things like my sons Epi-pen that I don't want in his larger pocket.

features you may need

For example, if you have a child who tends to lose their lunchbox, a backpack that you can hook it on would be great.

fashion with function

Honestly, if I'm going to be looking at this bag all year, I want it to be beautiful!
