Back-to-school season is almost here, and that means it’s time to pick one of the most important supplies: the backpack.
As a mom, I get it—the list is long. The backpack has to be tough enough to last the year (and maybe longer), big enough for everything kids collect, and cool enough that they actually want to wear it. Say goodbye to flimsy backpacks that fall apart after a month and hello to durable, cute options.
Adidas makes a great case here. Their backpacks are kid-approved and mom-tested. Whether you’re shopping for your child or want an upgrade for yourself, these bags hit the right notes.
What moms look for
– Strong materials that won’t tear after one semester
– Padded straps for comfort, especially when it’s heavy
– Multiple compartments for organization
– A look that’s nice enough to carry everywhere—from drop-off to practice
What kids care about
– Bright colors or bold prints
– Space for books, folders, Chromebook, snacks, and random trinkets
– Easy to carry and toss into a locker or gym bin
– Extra points for “cool” branding and trendy vibes
