Find me a sturdy school bag please!

[buildingmycorestrength]

I am so sick of school bags that break! Does anyone have any recommendations?

I have a girl and a boy, don't really want characters anymore, and would like at least two good size sections (one for book bag, one for water bottle and lunchbox, and they usually take hat/gloves/something else too).

Many thanks.

We use Lands End rucksacks,absolutely fantastic.My boys are in year 5 and have had the same rucksack since year 1, looks brand new.Dd is on the second year of hers.

You could try herschel too. Sometimes in urban outfitters

We go to Sports direct and get sports rucksacks. They are cheaper, bigger and sturdier than any character bags from Tescos etc.

Thanks all. Some good recommendations.

Karrimor rucksacks from Sports direct. Not too expensive and they even (at dd's secondary) seem reasonably 'cool'.
