The best magazine
Firstly, although their opinion is important is it not always logical or reliable.
One day everything will need to be Spiderman based and within twenty four hours it will change to Batman! Secondly, they do no often think of the practicality of their choice.
Below are the three ways I have chosen my kids back packs - and so far it has produced perfect results - a backpack which they are happy to carry and I am happy for them to use.
1.
Always Buy Plain Colors - Whatever the color of a backpack you can always put stickers on it, add badges and dangle key rings.
This is a great way for them to personalize their bag, it also makes it easy to find when thrown in with other kids.
Also it is a great way put all the keyrings and badges to use.
2.
Think About Size - If you buy a back pack which is too big your child will fill it up and then complain that it is too heavy, you will then end up carrying it for them.
Equally, if it is too small there will be tears about not being able to keep their work flat.
3.
Cost - It is important not to spend too much money on a bag.
Firstly, it may get lost.
Secondly, once they are in school, bags get so battered that they will need a new one each year.
They will also have different requirements each year.
In a perfect world I would also suggest that you only bought washable bags - unfortunately these are very hard to find, so if you go, congratulations, but don't worry too much about this requirement.
A final word of advice, be careful letting your child come shopping with you as this may cause a dispute if they see something which they want and you think is unsuitable.
Try choosing it yourself and presenting it as a gift or reward.
Good luck and happy shopping.
