Get ready for the new school year with our top picks for kids’ backpacks!
I know it’s only mid-summer, but we rounded up the chicest, most functional backpacks for toddlers—girls and boys—because the good ones always go fast. It’s one of those things that just feels good to check off early. Handle it now, then go back to enjoying the rest of summer. You’ll thank yourself later.
Here are some backpack sizing tips you’ll find helpful:
By first grade (even Kindergarten/Pre-1A), the bag should fit a folder and looseleaf easily — that means at least 14” tall inside. For second grade and up, go for 15” or more. Also, light colors show wear faster, and some backpacks don’t hold up well in the wash.
