The Emily & Meritt Blush Unicorn Backpack, $55; Emily & Meritt
The unicorn trend is not going anywhere any time soon. Make sure your unicorn-loving kid can strut into the new school year in style.
Women’s Isabella Backpack, $85; The North Face
This backpack is designed to fit those with more petite shoulders or body sizes. There is a sleek side pocket for a water bottle and a laptop pocket, and its size is adaptable for students from middle school to college.
Magic Glitter Mermaid Lightweight Travel Backpack, $34; SIWA MARY
Are multicolored sequins the new cool thing? Maybe. Let your child be a trendsetter with this artistic and fun backpack.
Rolling Deluxe Backpack, $100; L.L. Bean
The classic rolling-style backpack has been a kid-favorite for years. The best part? No need to hurt their backs trying to carry around all of those textbooks and school supplies.
High Sierra Zestar Backpack, $38; High Sierra
This backpack is for the well-organized (or those hoping to be). It features a multi-compartment design, side pockets, a multi-pocket organizer and chains for attaching extra school gear. Plus, it features a modern design for the kid looking to upgrade in style.
High Sierra Zestar Backpack, $38; High Sierra
A favorite among older kids for its style (and with parents for its durability), the Borealis backpack features flexible shoulder straps, a padded 15-inch laptop sleeve and a lifetime warranty.
OFUN 3D Dinosaur Backpack, $25; OFUN
Have a little fun with your younger kids with this character-style backpack that’s bright and colorful, but is also waterproof (to help with all of those spills and stains that are going to happen during lunch).
Swissgear 1900 ScanSmart Laptop Backpack, $60; Swiss Gear
Cited as being “extra roomy,” this backpack features a large pocket compartment, oversized zippers, adjustable side compression straps and a padded back panel with air-flow ventilation.
hotstyle TRENDYMAX Backpack, $28; hotstyle
For the LEGO-loving kiddo, this backpack is sleek in style but also holds up to a 15.4-inch laptop, and comes with a matching pencil bag.
UA Storm Scrimmage Backpack, $45; Under Armour
The perfect bag for kids heading to sports practice who need something weatherproof, durable and fillable.
