Is there anything quite like gearing up for school with all new school supplies? Choosing just the right pens, folders, notebooks, and, of course, the pièce de résistance, the backpack! It’s the item she’s going to be wearing every day for at least the next 180 days (for years if you play your cards right), so it has to be just right.
Fortunately, there are lots of backpacks out there, but that can also be the problem. How does one choose?
