school bags

What backpacks do your 13/14yo DDs have?

My DD is wanting a smaller one, like medium sized, this year.

Any recommendations?

She's had that one that starts with a K (can't spell it) but finds it too big and wants something else now. She also had a Jamsport one that was also too big apparently.

I keep telling her she might end up with lots of homework but she insists on a smaller one.

What dies she want? Usually at that age they know exactly what they want despite it being impractical failing that, sit outside senior school and see what everyone else has. At my teens school all the girls have handbags, and whilst I try and encourage dd to have what she wants I do still remember the desire to fit in.

A backpack that is smaller but she isn't looking for any particular style, she wants me to find one online and show it to her and she'll tell me if she likes it or not

My teen has had a Fjallraven Kanken for years, in fact she had to buy a bigger one last year because she had more books to carry but still uses her original one for out of school.
It was pricey but they last for ever.

Eastpaks are affordable and lightweight.
