Choosing the right backpack can make all the difference in your child's back-to-school experience, whether they're going into kindergarten or leaving home for college.

Among the things you should take into consideration when shopping are durability, a protective laptop sleeve, and style, all of which we considered when curating the list below.

From spacious and durable designs to stylish and functional options, we've got you covered with the following selections. JanSport, for example, is a go-to for school bags, while the lesser known but impressively built brand WAYB is not to be missed.

We've thrown in some laptop sleeves, too, which add another layer of protection and can be a lifesaver on days when students don't want to carry a full backpack.
