If there is one thing that every child needs for Back To School, it is a backpack. As parents, we want to make sure that the backpack that we buy for our children will survive the bus ride, being loaded up with books, artwork, etc and even the occasional swinging it at your sister.
Lands End has been making high-quality backpacks for years. They are sturdy yet stylish and will last you for years….best of all, the are priced at about $30, making them super-affordable.
The ClassMate SmallHaul Backpack is the perfect size for children ages 5 to 8. Other features include:
- Double-strength base for extra durability
- Removable organizer pouch keeps school supplies straight
- 360° reflective trim helps keep kids visible
- MP3 player pocket and cord port for tunes
- Glow-in-the-dark zipper pulls on main compartment
- D-ring to clip on lunchbox

Quality I think the should at the least last an entire school year. That said i have bought new ones mid year no fun
I look for durability. My son is so hard on backpacks. Having to buy 2 or 3 in one school year is what i want 2 avoid again.

Quality is at the top of my list when shopping for backpacks. I want one that will last the whole school year.
I look for a good backpack at a great price. It it were up to my kids, the only criteria would be who is on it!!
I look for quality in a bag, not characters because usually my son will want a new character the 2nd day of school
I look for quality and good storage/compartments.

Quality…i learned my lesson last year and ended up with a ripped backpack within the first month.
Definitely a mix between cost and usefulness. It needs to be practical but affordable at the same time!
