Choosing a School Backpack

Choosing a school backpack is not as easy as it sounds.

Check your school’s supply list  and the schools policies on backpacks. Look at  the textbooks you will be be carrying and whether you need a laptop (mostly in late high school). These are important factors that affect the size and type of the backpack. Here are some bullet points to choosing a school backpack

 

 

• First of all, see if your school’s handbook  specify about backpacks. For example, certain schools do not allow rolling backpacks or messenger bags. Some schools have rules regarding style or color.
• If you have back problems , make sure that the type of bag you’re considering getting will not cause you pain. Avoid Messenger bags, tote bags or bags carried on only one shoulder. It may exacerbate the issue..
• If you will be bringing a laptop to school, measure it or bring it with you to shop for a backpack. You can look for bags that have a laptop pocket and ones which have the perfectly sized pocket for your mini-computer.
• Drawstring bags or backpacks? If you do not have a lot to carry to school then a drawstring bag may be a ideal choice. It is lightweight and has room for notes, pencils and lunch. Drawstring bags are easy to clean and store.
• Colors and style. Picking a bag with your school colors can be important to your child. They may have a favorite, favorite color or team or character that is on the outside of the backpack.
