As your little one gears up for a new school year, the list of what they need just seems to keep growing. Once you've sorted their uniform, including a sturdy pair of school shoes, and stocked their pencil case, you'll want to turn your attention to the best school bags.
As opposed to school shoes, which you'll need to replace faster than you can say 'plimsoll', a proper school bag can last for several school years if you choose something practical (without sacrificing on the playful factor).
With a range of different school bags to choose from, you can be sure to find the best school bag for your child. From Spider-Man to Barbie, personalised to fabric, we've scoured the internet to find you the best school bags to take your children from term to term.
