I remember going back to school and carrying heavy and huge books in my backpack. It was so hard on my little back and shoulders but I enjoyed going to school so much. Thankfully, today there are many great backpacks on the market that will support the load on our backs.

I was happy to find exactly what we were looking for at Staples. They have such a large collection of stylish backpacks and lunch bags. We chose the Louis Garneau Backpack and the matching lunch bag. We love the large opening of this backpack and all the inside pockets. I was surprised to find out that our Louis Garneau Backpack is Approved by l’Association des Chiropraticiens du Québec! The back is definitely well padded and is adjustable at the chest and at the waist. The Louis Garneau lunch bag is also really nice looking. It has a removable plastic liner for easier cleaning and a water resistant backing.

We also got the Swiss Gear backpack with compartments in black and red. It’s a gorgeous backpack with a large main compartment and a padded back for comfort. There are a lot of compartments and a super comfortable top carry handle. We also like it’s side compression straps and the reflective label on the shoulder straps for safety.

To go along with the Swiss Gear backpack, my daughter picked the Ketto Flip-Flap Lunch Bag. She likes the fact that it looks like a purse. The interior is insulated and is easy to clean.

We are  really happy with our backpacks and lunch bags from Staples. It definitely helped my kids survive the first days of school. You should go back to school with Staples too! Shipping is free on orders over $45 excluding GST and PST, coupons or price matches within local trade areas.
