The sun is starting to set earlier and the nights are getting cooler, which means only one thing: it’s almost time to go back school. Cookie’s Kids offers a wide variety of different backpack styles designed to make your child’s new school year a success. But with so many choices, what’s the right backpack for your child? Our backpack guide for kids can help you reach a decision.
If your little one’s collection of textbooks and notebooks is really starting to pile up, a rolling backpack is the right choice. Rolling backpacks can keep the biggest items off little backs. Many are similar to the types of rolling luggage and carry-on items used for travel, with extendable handles and reinforced bottoms in addition to traditional padded shoulder straps. Add in zippered pockets and a fun print, and kids’ backpack problems are solved.
On a hectic morning it’s easy to forget a nutritious school lunch on the kitchen counter. A backpack with an attached lunchbox ensures that your child leaves the house with everything they need. Simply pack lunch in the insulated container, attach to their backpack with the Velcro straps, and voila! Lunch is served.
A backpack that features a favorite character is one of the best ways a kid can express what they’re all about. Showing off that they’re a fan of Batman or Peppa Pig can help new students strike up conversation with other like-minded kids. Who knows? That backpack could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
The next item in our backpack guide is a wise choice for kids predisposed to be organized…and kids who could use a little help in the organization department. Between after-school activities, homework, and social life, a child’s backpack is the center of their universe. Organization goes a long way in making their school day more productive. A backpack loaded with functional features always helps. It’s also a great investment, as premium brands can last through college (!). From key fobs and pen organizers to padded laptop sleeves and bungee straps, a well-organized backpack offers the key to success.
Messenger bags are another fun and functional way for your child to carry everything they need for a productive and successful day at school. With hidden compartments and roomy interiors, messenger bags keep belongings organized and available within arm’s reach. They’re also one of the more stylish choices in our backpack guide.
