KALIDI Unisex Lightweight Backpack School Bag Water-resistant Casual Rucksack fits 15 inch Laptop for Boys Girls Men and Women

Product Information

Going to school is a little different right now we know, but we're trying to focus on things like how hard it is to choose the backpack for your fussy youngster.

This versatile rucksack by the German-based brand ORTLIEB, is perfect for use day-to-day and on more exciting adventures. Plus, many brands offer matching sets, so parents and kids can twin - better invest before they turn 13 and think they are too cool to hang out with mum and dad anymore. We love the classic look of The Cambridge Satchel Co’s 13-inch satchel in vintage tan brown, which won’t date or go out of fashion. In that article we also took a look at the reasons that explain its great success: the simple and functional design, the great attention to detail, the high quality of the materials and, more importantly, the comfort that a Kånken guarantees to those who carry it on their shoulders.

The main compartment with double-zipper closure is perfectly organized, with a laptop pocket where you can put an iPad or a 13″ laptop, and several smaller pockets. This Land’s End Kid’s Packable Drawstring Bag is well made and sturdy yet still incredibly lightweight - it can even fold in on itself when not in use to a small pouch, making it perfect for storing and travelling. There are 14 muted colours to choose from, including a simple black and the latest addition – Foliage Green. Externally it has sturdy zippers, two elasticized side pockets, two large top handles and two comfortable adjustable shoulder straps.

e. jetting off on holiday, kicking back at home or actually doing the assigned homework in time for the school year to begin, the dawn of the September always manages to rapidly creep up. Available in both black and green, this traditional backpack showcases a main section, front pouch, internal pockets, exterior mesh pockets and a scuff-resistant material. The Kanken Laptop bag is a twist on the classic Kanken, and the smallest size fits a 13-inch laptop with just enough space for books and a pencil case too. Another great backpack from Eastpak – a slightly different style, but similar size, this backpack comes in a gorgeous black snake print, great for subtle lovers of prints.The Unisex Printed Montana Rucksack comes in several different prints, and we particularly like the leopard – which teams a bold patternwith a muted brown colour scheme. Parents will love the thick padded shoulder straps and chest strap, and there’s a removable waist strap for days your child is carrying heavier books. Intended to ‘give children a sense of pride’, the PACHEE Beltbackpack is so much more than just a classic design. Gen Z are all about Y2K motifs and this Fiorucci piece merges dark denim and the brand’s distinctive angel insignia to create a cool-girl bag like no other. Think outside the box too, if your teen is into photography, they’ll love a camera bag, or if they love the outdoors, a dry bag would be amazing to take out on weekend walks or even school trips.

Preschoolers and primary-age children will need something smaller of course, as it’s likely they’ll want to carry their bag independently and a full-sized rucksack will probably swamp them. Firstly, it has to be spacious enough to house bulky chemistry folders, a full-to-bursting pencil cases and a water bottle. Facing looming exams, hitting the textbooks and being legally required to learn maths aren’t the most appealing of prospects. You can even get it embossed with your child’s initials if you want to add an element of personalisation or give it as a very special gift. Externally the backpack has two large top handles, two open side pockets, a two-way zipper for the main compartment, two adjustable shoulder straps and a zipper pocket on the front.

My daughter put hers in the washing machine on a gentle cycle after her lunch leaked, and it came out good as new. Children will love the secret pockets and collectable reward badges - whether your child is a maths whizz, gymnast enthusiast or mini Picasso, there’ll be a badge of honour just for them, as well as initial badges too!

Kicking off the list is Marc Jacobs’ colourblock backpack in punchy shades of candy pink, cornflower blue, lemon yellow and seafoam green.

In fact, the presence of two straps on the backpack could allow young students to have their hands free so they can play and ride a bike even while continuing to wear a backpack. This daypack presents a main compartment with lots of pockets inside: two flat side pockets and a front pocket. Convenient to charge your electronics on the go and fit A4 books and files, this backpack really does have it all. Marques’ Almeida’s shirred tote in a Barbiecore hue is a girlish purchase for the confident kids who are happy to think pink.
