Durability
The first thing you are going to want to consider when looking at backpacks is the durability of it. Like I said above this is what they will be using to carry all of their textbooks back and forth from school to home and they can be quite heavy, especially if they are carrying more than one at a time. Along with all their other supplies such as pencils, notebooks, binders, etc.
These things will cause a lot of wear and tear on your kid’s backpack throughout the school year. So make sure you look for a backpack that is tough, this way you won’t need to buy another one, half way through the year. Because this has actually happened to me…
