The coolest backpacks and bags for big kids: Back to School Guide 2014

Next up in our Back to School Shopping Guide series are the coolest backpacks and bags for big kids. And you may know that’s no easy task, especially when kids suddenly have an opinion (or two or 27) about what they’re carrying. Here, you’ll find the coolest styles from preppy to funky to everything in between, all big enough all those books and homework folders (ack!) and snacks and even laptops they’ll be toting around. Plus as moms, we’re aiming for packs that will still look pretty great in May, too.

Coolest backpacks for back to school: Madpax bubble pack

 

We’re thrilled to bring you all these cool picks courtesy of our awesome sponsor HP, whose HP Instant Ink replacement service really helps you save time and money, two things we really like saving. Not only will you save up to 50%  a year off original HP Ink, but because it auto-ships, you never worry about running out of ink. (Scrambling for cyan the night before the big social studies project is due sound familiar?)

And don’t miss our big $1000 BTS giveaway below, in which one winner will bring home a cool HP Printer (and HP Instant Ink subscription) plus a slew of other seriously awesome prizes for your kid – and for you. Whoo!

All of our picks have been editorially selected by our staff. There has been no compensation in exchange for picks. Cool Mom Picks is an rstyle and Amazon affiliate and some picks may include affiliate links which you can click to help support what we do. 

 

 

Coolest backpacks for older kids: Wonder Woman Backpack

Coolest backpacks for kids: Superman backpack at Pottery Barn Kids
Wonder Woman Backpack  and Superman Backpack ($44.50+ at PBK)
Our own grade-schoolers are so thrilled with PBK’s entire new Marvel collection, which all feature the colorful icons popping out from against a black-and-white comic strip panel. Have it personalized, monogrammed, or if you want to be extra cool, just put Diana or Clark on yours. We’ll all get it.

 

 

Coolest backpacks for older kids: Fjällräven Kanken backpack
Fjällräven Kanken backpack ($75, Zappos)
Also a pick in our best backpacks for preschoolers, Fjällräven makes spectacular full-sized backpacks for the miminalist. In other words, you get all the compartments you need but none of the crazy features you don’t.  And ooh, amazing color choices.

 

Coolest backpacks for older kids: monogram canvas backpack
Monogram canvas backpack ($43, Medium Control)
Recently featured on our site, this cool company has an incredible range of durable designs for kids too cool for cute designs but who still want to show some style.

 

Coolest backpacks and bags for older kids: drop the needle messenger bag
Drop the needle messenger bag ($46, Medium Control)
From the same company, big props for their messenger bag styles which feature cool designs like this retro reference to turntables. Currently referred to as “DJ culture.” Whatever. We just like it.

 

– Keep reading for a chance to win our $1000 back to school giveaway. Entering is easy! – 

 

Coolest backpacks for older kids: MadPax space-themed backpack
MadPax space-themed Bubble Backpack ($80, MadPax)
We are so in love with this big, space-themed, glow-y backpack that we’re even giving one away in our back to school giveaway. All their Bubble Backpacks are terrific (including the solid red one at top) but this one should get some extra special attention on the first day of school.

 

Coolest backpacks for older kids: 60s Starlet Backpack by Miquelrius
60s Starlet Backpack by Miquelrius ($37.99 on sale at eBags)
For big girls turning into little ladies, we love Jordi Labanda Cameron’s medium sized poly backpack with a nod to some of the most enduring classic film stars of our time. In light of Lauren Bacall’s recent passing this week, we only wish her name were here too.

Coolest backpacks for big kids: OAK backpack - buy one / one donated to a child in need

OAK Old School Backpack ($60, OAK Lifestyle)
OAK actually stands for Ordinary Acts of Kindness, and when you purchase one of these durable, comfy canvas laptop backpacks, you not only get an awesome bag for back to school, but the company donates a backpack to a child in need. Hooray for school supplies that give back.

Coolest backpacks for older kids: Fjällräven Rucksack
Fjällräven Rucksack ($150, Zappos)
Also from Fjällräven (oh, those clever Swedes) comes this fantastic rucksack style backpack for kids who are going to be carrying more than a few composition journals each day – including a 15″ laptop. (And for more of the best laptop backpack ideas, check out our 2013 back to school tech guide. Also, aren’t you just dying to say, “Please to help me with my rucksack?”

Coolest backpacks for older kids: Jansport Superbreak Backpack
Jansport Superbreak Backpack ($34.90, eBags)
For an affordable option that still has style, we’re liking this gender-neutral, sophisticated striped print from Jansport. Stripes of all kind are always in style; the dark color will keep it looking newer, longer; and for under $35, hard to beat the price.

Coolest backpacks for older kids: Granite Gear Misquah Backpack

Coolest backpacks for older kids: saunders colorblock
Granite Gear Misquah Backpack and Granite Granite Gear Saunders Backpack ($34.99, 39.99, Granite Gear)
This rugged backpack from the cult favorite Minnesota company Granite Gear, has the DNA of a serious camping pack but with a lightweight design and cool styling that makes it perfect for school days. A.K.A. the times kids probably wish they were outdoors jumping streams instead.

 

 

Coolest backpacks for older kids: minecraft backpack
Minecraft Backpack ($39.99, Think Geek)
No one – no one – can tell our own kids that this isn’t THE backpack to own for fall.  Ask your own, and tell us what they say.

 

EXTRA COOL: WIN IT!

We’re so excited to give away one massive Back to School prize pack valued at more than $1000, filled with back-to-school essentials for both kids…and moms. Because let’s be honest, we’re going to be working hard too, this school year.  We deserve a designer handbag, right?

  7. Aimee baylor on August 13, 2014 at 3:40 pm

  18. Kim Temen on August 13, 2014 at 6:41 pm

  19. Wendy on August 13, 2014 at 6:44 pm

    My kids think the Minecraft backpack is coolest, of course, but I might just buy that Wonder Woman pack for myself!

    I love the monogram canvas backpack (though I wonder how well it will do in the rain…).

  53. Holy Moley on August 13, 2014 at 9:48 pm

    Holy FRUGGIN’ frittatas! That MadPax bag is sa-weeter than sangria! My wee lad would swoon for such. But I’m personally smitten by that nifty canvas monogrammed job- that cutie is the bees knees, and makes my current diaper bag/pursemajig laden with spoiled milk and such, which smells like a skunk that crawled out of the butt of another skunk, look like burnt Spam.

  54. Karen P on August 13, 2014 at 9:48 pm

    I like the Wonder Woman backpack or rucksack for myself, but I know my guys would love the Minecraft one!

  55. Shannon on August 13, 2014 at 9:53 pm

    Love both the Jansport and the Granite Gear.

  56. Pam w on August 13, 2014 at 9:53 pm

    Fjällräven Kånken!

  60. Beth on August 13, 2014 at 10:00 pm

    Love the space bubble pack!

  61. Laurie on August 13, 2014 at 10:04 pm

    Seriously digging several of them, but I love a company that gives back. I think I am going to get an Oak for my middle schooler who told me to pick one for him.

  62. Kate Phillips on August 13, 2014 at 10:05 pm

    I love the OAK pack. It’s cool in an understatedly confident way, and it gives to those less fortunate. Both of these qualities are character traits that I’d like my child to have as we’ll 🙂

  63. Shoshanna on August 13, 2014 at 10:09 pm

    Mad pax space themed bubble backpack

    The fjallraven all the way!!! Love the colors 🙂

  72. Bron on August 13, 2014 at 10:29 pm

    The Granite Gear Misquah looks like the sort of backpack my teenage son and I could agree on! I think my 6th grader would love the Minecraft Creeper.

    The Fyallräven Rucksack rocks. Love the unique shape that sets it apart from so many backpacks and the leather straps. The only hard part would be picking a color. The navy looks so rich!

    The MadPax space-themed Bubble Backpack is the winner, hands down, for me!!! So. Much. Fun! I’m going to have to arm-wrestle my son for it! Maybe we’ll have to have two of them!!!

    Love the Fjällräven Rucksack!

  171. Angela on August 19, 2014 at 8:22 am

    The Fjällräven Rucksack! Looks like it would last long enough for the kids to use and then for me to get as a hand-me-down!

  172. Melissa on August 19, 2014 at 1:03 pm

    Loving the Superman backpack!

  173. Sarah Austin on August 19, 2014 at 2:29 pm

    I like the jeans port. It’s boy or girl, pattern won’t show everyday grime. Shape will hold books well.

  174. mere on August 19, 2014 at 7:13 pm

    I love the stripes on the Jansport, but I know my son would go nuts for the Minecraft one!

  175. Marci on August 20, 2014 at 6:15 pm

    PBK stuff is always great, but I love the bubble pak! I’m going to have a hard time talking my son out of the Minecraft however, although I think it will get dirty really quickly!

  176. Lindsay on August 21, 2014 at 4:31 pm

    Wonder Woman, of course!

  177. Carla on August 22, 2014 at 2:52 pm

    The Medium Control bags are minimalistic and look like they could withstand rugged use.

  181. Cat on August 24, 2014 at 4:48 pm
