What rucksack do your yr 4,5,6 dds us for school?

[Ecover]

DD is so indecisive. Please help inspire us.

Hello, this thread is a little old now and some of the links are out of date. Take a look at this handy page for a round up of the best backpacks, chosen by Mumsnetters.

Ooh can a woman in her late 30's have a floral adidas rucksack?!

these are all great, keep them coming please.

My dd just used her book bag, some that didn't had handbags. But they were also the ones that got in trouble in yr 5 for putting on hairspray in the toilets.

My DDs both have Joules rucksacks which are pretty indestructible.

Smiggle here. I groaned to start with when she said she'd like one but it's actually a good bag. I was going to get one for 6 yo DS too until dd told me they were very uncool for boys

DD is about to start year 6 and has had one like this since year 4.

DD2 (yr4) likes the Tinc backpacks, they are like smiggle but a bit cheaper.
DD1 (yr6) is desperate for a harry potter backpack (which I have yet to find one that doesn't require a mortgage) or smiggle will, in her words, have to do!

My DD going into year 5 has chosen this fluffy cat bag. She was also indecisive and wanted a smiggle one at first then reversible sequin bag from Claire's but it was out of stock so chose this. Have a look on Claire's website they have a offer of £10 off wit the code BACKPACK.

Smiggle here too for my DD age 7. As well as Smiggle pencil case, pens, water bottle...... ! Definitely her favourite shop.

DD needed one from last September, after extensive (she usually hates shopping) a Smiggle one was selected, it's lasted the first year well and washed brilliantly too.

Mine has a MiPac one.

It's the galaxy print.

They all seem to have a selection of that kind of thing.

another smiggle one here too. Last year DD had a cheap character bag (secret life of pets) that didn't last the full year. Hopefully we'll get a couple of years out of the smiggle ones.

Joules one here too which has lasted the year pretty well, bit of scuff marks but nothing major. I'm debating getting another bag but feel like it would be a waste of money when her other one will do 😳

RueDeWakening is that one waterproof? I saw something similar in France on holiday but it was oilcloth and kicking myself I didn't get it but can't find the same thing online.

These are great. Dd has two. They've been through the wash a few times and come out looking brand new. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B071JDSQGV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_TJuNzbNNDWKQR?tag=mumsnetforum-21

Thank you these are all great but dd still undecided

The smuggles rucksacks seem really large / tall, in your experience do they really need such large bags?

DD1 has a Minions rucksack - you can't get much in it, but it's so cool I kind of want one for myself!!

Smiggle do a smaller sized rucksack for the littler kids. My DD6 has one and loves it. It's already lasted a year and there is nothing wrong with it!

My DD loves Star Wars so has a stormtrooper backpack. It's white so it gets filthy but at least it's distinctive so she's easy to spot in the playground.

The about to be y1 beast has a school book bag.

The about to be y6 beast has a small walking rucksack that my mum gave me. It used to have one of those water bladders and a long pipe straw in it. We gutted it, and it's the perfect size for his junk. He uses it for everything, not just school. It's so far proven indestructible. If he ends up in mainstream school we'll just size up I think.

smiggle or hype seem popular with DD's classmates as do the hot tuna ones from sports direct linked to below.

I LOVE those satchels RueDeWakening. Is there anywhere you can get those in the uk?

Are you being unreasonable to ask for rucksack recommendations on the AIBU forum? I'd say so.

Adidas originals or Superdry
