6 backpack brands to buy now
1. Pottery Barn Kids Backpack
My preschooler used the Pottery Barn Kids Mackenzie Backpack all last year and will continue to use it for the new school year because it’s a really good backpack. It’s high quality, durable, roomy, and has lots of pockets and straps to carry all of your school and travel essentials. We’ve taken this backpack on about 6 trips and it still looks like new with not a single hole in it from all the careless tossing around.
Plus, they’re currently on huge discounts in Pottery Barn’s Back to School Sale, so I recommend you run, not walk, to get them.
2. JanSport Backpack
Many parents we spoke to raved about their children’s Jansport backpacks.
“My son had it for 3 years and it needed replacing. My daughters love the colorful designs. I still have one from high school!” – Christine S., mom of 3
“I love classic JanSport backpacks. Not only are they nostalgic, but they’re also a reliable brand that can fit everything my kids need for school and won’t get damaged or ripped.” – Annie N., mum of one
Jansports are sold everywhere, but for the best deals, check out Jansport’s official website , where new customers can get 15% off with email signup and there’s also a current 10% off “Create Your Own Bundle” promotion.
3. Fjallraven Kanken Backpack
“I love that this bag is boxy and sturdy instead of round and floppy. The straps are padded for comfort, and the laptop pocket will come in handy once my teen gets a little older.” – Chelsea L., mom of two
“My daughter has had this bag for two years and shows no signs of stopping. It’s not too bulky, is made of high-quality waterproof materials, and holds everything she needs. I also love that it stands out among all the other plain black backpacks my middle schooler wears. Sure, it’s on the pricier side, but considering it’s lasted 3+ years, it’s well worth the investment.” – Sarah C., mom of three
The popular Kanken Spicy Orange is available at a great price on Amazon.
4. Old Navy Kids Backpack
“I have young kids who are super into character-themed stuff like Pokemon and princesses, so Old Navy is my go-to place for finding affordable backpacks that will last a year and won’t get old by the next school year.” – Christina P., mom of two
Backpacks like these Pokemon kids backpacks for under $20 are now 60% off (2-day sale only) Now you are there:
5. Herschel Supply Classic Backpack
“My son’s Herschel Supply Co. backpack is classic looking, lightweight, and has lasted over 2 years. I love it so much that I often steal it when we travel.” – Heather A., mom of 2
The 20L version of the brand’s classic backpack is currently discounted by over 30%, bringing the total price to just $38.
6. Statebag Cane Double Pocket Backpack
“My daughter loves the Statebag backpacks because the designs and colors are so beautiful. She loves to get new ones, but she doesn’t need any because she finds them to be indestructible.” – Anna A., mother of two
I can also vouch for the quality of these lovely backpacks: my middle child has had this backpack for three full years, almost four, with absolutely no visible signs of wear, which is really amazing.
