Top Backpacks -- Back to School 2016-17

For the last few years I've given my top picks for the best in "Back to School - Boys & Girls Backpacks." This year I've decided to change things up a bit thanks to the wisdom of my outspoken 8-year-old son. With the simple statement of "Mommy, there's really no such thing as boys and girls backpacks. Can't we just like whatever we like?" I was sold.

For the last few years I've given my top picks for the best in "Back to School - Boys & Girls Backpacks." This year I've decided to change things up a bit thanks to the wisdom of my outspoken 8-year-old son. With the simple statement of "Mommy, there's really no such thing as boys and girls backpacks. Can't we just like whatever we like?" I was sold. So parents on that note, give your child the freedom to choose their backpack not based on pink or blue, but whatever makes them happy; whatever encourages their individuality; whatever builds their confidence.

From cool camos, sticky sweet treats, fun quotes, to googly eyes so you can always see who's sneaking up behind you, there's a perfect backpack to fit every child. - Jill Topol
