Backpack Round Up

The backpack is the ultimate in school-aged personal expression. Your kid is blurting out her favorite TV show/hobby/color/sport in one accessory. You’re thinking: Will it last? Will it give my child a hump? It costs how much? You may think it’s ugly, but it’s what she wants. And anyway, there will certainly be a new one next year.
