Backpacks for kids come in all sizes, styles, and prices...and selections are plentiful. Children old enough to walk--and even those who aren't--are often requested to bring a backpack to and from child care and school every day. Children love backpacks because it is something of their very own, and carrying one makes the little ones feel more grown up! Older children like the convenience. Parents love them for the convenience. Here are top choices to consider--one for each age category.
