A backpack is a staple of a student’s school wardrobe. It is a primary means of transporting educational materials to and from school. A great school bag should be durable enough to last for years, functional enough to carry all of your kid’s stuff, including textbooks, lunch boxes, and sometimes a device like a laptop, and most importantly, it should also sit comfortably on your child’s back to avoid causing any pain or burden on his/her body.

So here we have cherry-picked a selection of the best bags for school. Keep reading to check them all out and snag the one for the new term.
