Important Trends

Solid-Color School Bags

Forget going back to black next year, school bags are going colorful, but you should select a solid color option if you want your kids to stand out. If your children walk to school, choose bold primary colors, such as red, yellow, green, or blue, so drivers can easily spot them when they approach a pedestrian crossing. Safety first!

Printed School Backpacks

Younger children love printed school backpacks. Choose one with their favorite superhero, Disney character, or animal, and you will never have to carry it home from school. Most manufacturers produce printed school bags for kids, with many offering personalized options for those who want to add a name or picture of a beloved family pet.

Embellished School Bags

Embellished school bags are popular with children of all ages, from toddlers and tweens to teens. Beautifully embellished with a unicorn, dolphin, cartoon character, or designer charm, these school bags stand out for all the right reasons.

How To Choose the Perfect School Bag For Your Child

Buying school bags for younger children is relatively easy, but the older they get, the more difficult it becomes. Teenagers often succumb to peer pressure, and something as silly as having the ‘wrong school bag’ can lead to bullying and years of misery.

If you want to find the perfect school bag for your child, we recommend you consider:

School Bag Design: What are other kids carrying these days? If everyone else totes a backpack to school, your child will want the same. Likewise, if they are carrying laptop bags, sports bags, or totes.

School Bag Material: Your kid’s school bag will spend much of the time on the floor, hanging on the back of a chair, or stashed in a locker, so it needs to be hardwearing, weather-resistant, and made from a durable material that will last. Synthetic school bags are much cheaper than leather alternatives, but weight matters. Choose a lightweight school bag that evenly distributes the weight of heavy books to avoid back and neck injuries.

School Bag Features: There is more to school bags than aesthetics, although we all know they are important to children. When choosing a school bag for your child, look for one with high-end features, such as integrated water bottle holders, adjustable straps, zipped interior pockets for money and smartphones, and anything else that will make your kid the coolest kid in town!
