Pros
- Affordable

Cons

At just $21, this children’s backpack is a good find for the next school season. It’s made with nylon, which our testers found durable against wear and tear. Keep kiddo organized thanks to its variety of interior and exterior pockets — including a mesh water bottle pocket, a laptop sleeve and a pair of zippered outer pockets. Kids will love the colorful geometric design. It comes in two sizes: a small for kindergarten and early elementary school and a large for ages 8 and up.

Trust that this backpack will last you years to come. Our favorite long-lasting backpack for college, Fjällräven’s Kanken canvas backpack comes with a laptop pocket, so you can tote devices. Our testers like how it unzips fully around the sides for easy packing and unloading. It also has two top handles that snap together if you need a break from carrying it on your back. Other than that, there’s only one extra pocket, located on the outside.

JanSport has plenty of great backpacks for kids, like the best-selling SuperBreak style. Featuring an understated silhouette with one main compartment, plus a zippered front pocket for storing charging cables and more, it comes in more than 20 colors and patterns. Just note that while our testers appreciate its lightweight design and variety of colors to choose from, they did find that the material wasn’t as durable as other options on the market.

If you have a hard time keeping track of your books and other essentials with a traditional backpack, then we recommend the Baggallini Chelsea laptop backpack. It has a wide frame opening that allows you to access the bag’s interior more easily — making it simpler to find and unpack what you need. What’s more, its padded laptop sleeve fits up to a 16-inch device, and expandable side pockets help accommodate larger water bottles.
