So many choices, which one did your children pick? Backpack, backpack on wheels, messenger bag, or a tote?

Both my boys have the LL Bean backpack, our school does not allow the ones with wheels.

Both of mine have backpacks. No rules just has to be a certain size so the folder they send home on Fridays (with all their papers) fits in it.

M'ija hated backpacks - she has a slight scoliosis, and carrying one was uncomfortable for her. Her schools didn't allow wheeled bags, so she tried a messenger bag, loved it, and has used one ever since.

My guys have always used backpacks. Rolled backpacks haven't been allowed at any school my kids have attended.

Backpacks. Meghan has Bobby Jack, Samantha has JoBros, Cameron has Transformers. I got them WICKED cheap during one of Kohl's HUGE sales last summer. LOL

dd-9 goes between a backpack and messenger bag but usually ends up with the backpack the longest. dd-5 and dd-4 use backpacks. Their schools do not allow wheeled bags either.
