We are not a family that buys new backpacks every year. I try and buy a backpack that will last several years and take good care of it. During the school year, I have my kids empty their backpacks two or three times a year so I can pre-treat and wash them.
My oldest daughter is entering fifth grade, and her backpack was new in kindergarten. It had seen better days and so at the end of fourth grade we decided to pitch it and look for a new one. I love Lands End backpacks and lunch bags. When our middle daughter was entering preschool we got a backpack from there and it is still in great shape and she’s entering second grade. I feel like the quality can’t be beat and they always have great sales and coupon codes online.
I also recently discovered their customer service is top notch. We ordered a backpack and the monogram arrived incorrect, one simple phone call and a new backpack was in the mail no questions asked.
When looking at backpacks, we wanted something that’s going to last her through not only fifth grade but also most of middle school. She debated and debated on style and pattern. She finally ended on a tech material solid gray backpack with pink monogram embroidery.
The backpack has pockets that fit her needs is big enough for her, without making her tip over if it’s full.
One of the things I love about ordering from Lands’ End, is they have different size backpacks for different height and sized kids. Before becoming a mom, I never thought about the fact that one size does not fit all in backpacks imagine the high school size backpack on a kindergartner, it’s laughable really. For my (almost) fifth grader, the Large size seems just right.
We also ordered a coordinating lunch bag for her. She picked a more vibrant print for the lunch bag. We were familiar with these, as I ordered one for our toddler when she started in mother’s day out. I love the size and shape of them. They fit our favorite plastic bento box style container that we use all the time (I have talked and showed these on IG a ton). I also love that there is a net water bottle holder on the side!
