KidStyleFile Back To School Special: Best Backpacks For 2011
Posted: January 20th, 2011Post written by Miki
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
With the start of term 1 just around the corner, you’re probably shopping up a storm for everything the bambinos need for heading back to school. Of course, if it’s your child’s first term at school that just makes it all the more exciting!
Item #1 on every parent’s back-to-school shopping list: a good backpack. There are a number of features to look for, including hard-wearing fabric, good quality zippers, strong stitching and an appropriate size for your child. Just as important, though, is finding a design that both you and the young person in question can agree on. This is vitally important – after all, *you* need to like it because it’s your money that’s paying for it, but *they* need to love it because they’ll be carrying it for a year… and because kids are very good at ‘losing’ bags they don’t like. Not that I ever did that when I was a kid… Ahem.
Below are some KidStyleFile favourites to get you started. Call the kids over to the computer to give their all-important opinions and start shopping!
