1up backpack for middle school?




LadyK


My sister is going to her 1st year of middle school and she just bought a 1up backpack like the one from the link

Actually i bought it for her cuz she liked me. My mother says its more like kindergarden packpack and that kids will make fun of her and laugh at such a lame backpack, So now my little sister is really worried. Do you think the backpack is too lame for middle school?



Answer
This depends on her and her school. Old school, retro video game stuff is pretty popular in a lot of places. Unfortunately, middle school/jr.high kids are the WORST about stuff like this. They are trying so hard to be mature that they sometimes will be critical of stuff like that where older high school kids in the same community would think it was pretty sweet. If she likes it she should take it. I think it's sweet!

Where's the cheapest place to get kids backpacks that won't fall apart before the end of the school year?

Q. My son is starting Kindergarten this fall... Every backpack he likes feels cheap and like it won't last. I like these because they're nice quality and I can get a matching lunchbag... http://www.hannaandersson.com/Style.asp?from=SRCH&styleid=32505&simg=32505_S19&mwc=S19&styleRef=32505kb but I don't really want to spend that much and my son wants Spiderman or Star Wars anyway. You know anywhere to get a cheap one with a matching lunch bag that will last? Or a set SO cheap that it won't matter if it falls apart and I have to replace it?


Answer
We've had problems with every backpack we've gotten our kids, so unless we want to go for the $75-and-up variety, we decided to just "go with it".

Last summer, A.C.Moore had backpacks on sale for $5 each. Sure, they were cheaply made, and didn't look like they were made to last, but we bought 2 for each kid, with the intention of using both during the year. We hate to think of backpacks as "disposable", but if they're not going to make it through the year anyway, why spend the extra money?

With three school-aged kids, we spent $30, and only 2 of them didn't make it through the year, so we still have 4 to start off next year.

As they get older (the oldest is starting 6th grade this year), we'll get them better backpacks.
