Stylish durable backpack or shoulder bag recommendations for carrying children’s essentials

[SnappyOliveWriter]

Recommendations for a backpack or shoulder bag. Must of 2 boys so carrying snacks, toys, change of clothes, water bottles (big!)
would like something stylish that will last years!
a lot of the backpacks are work focused, I need something with lots of water bottle pockets 😂

are you make sure you need a backpack? How old are your kids? Unless they're babies I don't think you need to change clothes all the time. (I've had three sons so I know what you mean.)

7 and 4 - it’s more clothes in the bag like jumpers etc. I wa just thinking backpack to free up hands but a shoulder bag would work too

Yeah, you don't wanna be rucksack Mum for too long! 😀

Eh? What's wrong with a rucksack? I hate shoulder bags, always falling off and they're terrible for your shoulders. I'd rather be "Rucksack Mum" than Hunchback Mum. What a ridiculous comment.

I'd recommend a Passenger Boondocker, they come in loads of colour ways, have two bottle holders on the sides, two zip pockets, properly padded straps and a chest strap too. But then what do I know, I clearly have zero style....

i Don't think the two are mutually exclusive.
