First off, let\u2019s take a look at the different sorts of backpacks available\u2014and you may be surprised at how many there are!<\/p>\n
Classic Standard Backpacks<\/h3>\n
This is the most common type of backpack, available in a wide range of colors, sizes, and styles. Most incorporate two compartments: a large compartment to carry textbooks and other bulky items and a smaller compartment for personal belongings.<\/p>\n
Laptop Backpacks<\/h3>\n
As the name suggests, this kind of backpack is designed to allow students to carry around their laptops along with their other school supplies, equipment, and belongings. As well as being specifically designed to prevent laptops from overheating, laptop backpacks usually also incorporate a range of other, differently-sized compartments for maximum convenience.<\/p>\n
Drawstring Backpack<\/h3>\n
This simple design, which usually incorporates a single compartment, is predominantly used by kids to transport school sports equipment and kit. The drawstring open-top design means that it\u2019s easy for kids to see what\u2019s in their bag at a glance without having to pull everything out.<\/p>\n
Sling Backpacks<\/h3>\n
Sling backpacks make for a trendy choice without sacrificing any convenience. This option has a single, wide strap and can be worn on the back or across the front of the body. Typically, sling backpacks feature one or two large compartments and a smaller front compartment.<\/p>\n
Rolling Backpack<\/h3>\n
For high schoolers who have lots of school stuff to lug about through the course of a day, a rolling backpack on wheels could be a perfect choice! This type of bag also features twin shoulder straps, so can also be worn as a regular backpack. When it comes to durability, this option is one of the best.<\/p>\n
Tote Backpacks<\/h3>\n
Popular with older, fashion-conscious schoolgirls and teens, tote backpacks tend to be square or rectangle-shaped and spacious enough to fit in all the supplies she needs. Many options are expandable, too, for extra convenience and practicality.<\/p>\n
Satchel Backpack<\/h3>\n
A traditional choice that\u2019s been around for decades, satchel backpacks remain a good option for helping your child transport everything they need into the classroom. They\u2019re available in a wide variety of styles and colors, tend to be extremely durable, and incorporate a variety of compartments, so your child can arrange their things in a way that works for them.<\/p>\n
Best School Backpack Brands<\/h2>\n

So now we\u2019ve explored the main types of school backpacks, it\u2019s time to discover the very best backpack brands to help you narrow the choices down still further.<\/p>\n
Generally speaking, the best backpack brands depend on the needs of your child. For example, JanSport<\/strong> and Champion<\/strong> are good options for kids that prefer a separate compartment for their laptop, a water bottle holder, and bags made from recycled materials. Dickies<\/strong> and Adidas<\/strong> tend to offer some of the most durable backpacks on the market, while Amazon Basics<\/strong> is a great all-around choice that\u2019s also budget-friendly.<\/p>\n
Matein<\/strong>, JinBeryl<\/strong>, Under Armour<\/strong>, and Nike<\/strong> are also worth checking out as backpack brands that are popular with students and parents alike.<\/p>\n
How We Picked and Tested the Backpacks<\/h2>\n
To help you get the best back-to-school backpack for your child or teenager, we put several options through their paces. This included checking their functionality, practicality, durability, style, and design.<\/p>\n
Hopefully, this means when it comes to buying your kid their new backpack, you can be confident that you\u2019ve made the right choice to support their classroom endeavors.<\/p>\n
Remember! The weight of the backpack should not exceed 10-15% of the child’s body weight. Carrying a heavy backpack can strain the child’s back, shoulders, and neck, leading to discomfort and potential health issues. Parents should regularly check and remove unnecessary items from the backpack to reduce the load.<\/p>\n
