New school clothes along with new backpacks and supplies is something that has my kids starting smiling and starting off their school year to a good start. Different kids also need different backpacks.
My seven year old just started the second grade. When I seen the Monsters Collection Backpack from Garnet Hill in a magazine I knew that I wanted my son to have this backpack. I like him to take a backpack to school that is cute and one that not everyone else has. I never buy backpacks from Walmart or Target because chances are, many others will have the same backpack.
Must Have Backpack #1
My son received the Monsters backpack from Garnet for review which I think is cute but this style of backpack is also available in 6 other patterns including cupcakes, dance bunnies, gecko camo and more!
What I like about this particular backpack is that is has two zippered compartments, one with a large interior pocket and a built-in organizer. My son was really excited about having this organizer and couldn’t wait to figure out what he was going to put in the pockets.
My son also likes the sliding sternum strap on the front. I thought he wasn’t going to like it but he couldn’t wait to put the backpack on and snap the clip on the strap to lock it into position. I think the strap will come in handy because I am used to seeing his backpack falling off his shoulders on the days we walk to school.
Must Have Backpack #2
Another awesome backpack that we received this school year is The Voyager from Lifeworks. This is perfect for those that are bringing a backpack to school or maybe even a tablet.
The Voyager has a front pocket with organization panel that stores your cell phone, iPod and other essentials like your power cords. My favorite part is the soft felt-like scratch resistant pocket on top that is perfect for storing a smartphone or even a pair of sunglasses.
These are just two backpack suggestions for the new school year. Stay tuned next week for Part Two where I will be featuring two more must have backpacks you might just want to add to your collection.
