FAQ's

We recommend choosing your ideal school bag size based on the age range of the student and bag capacity that you need. Look for a bag that is proportionate to their body size and won’t be too heavy for the student when it’s full of books and other school essentials. Our Backpack in Keep It Light Nylon has adjustable straps for your most comfortable fit, measures 12 inches wide across the bottom of the bag, 5.5 inches deep and 16.5 inches tall to be able to fit up to a 16 inch laptop.

Choose a backpack for school that fits all you need to carry comfortably, fits your style, and is durable enough to last the school year. We recommend bags that are easy to clean, too!

It’s your bag, your way! Generally, a backpack is best for grade schoolers and students that need to carry more. A tote is best for older students as it is versatile for lighter days and other activities. But why choose when you can have both? Many students have both options for different purposes.

A school bag can refer to a range of bag styles used for school, including a tote bag. A backpack is a specific type of school bag. We have both!

Here’s a few tips for packing your backpack for stress-free school days: 

  1. Pack it right: Put the heaviest items (like textbooks) closest to your back for better weight distribution and comfort.

  2. Protect your tech: Put your laptop or tablet in the padded sleeve or its own laptop case. 

  3. Every pocket has a purpose: Use the exterior pocket for items you need to quickly access–like pens or your student ID. The side pockets fit a water bottle or can be used as snack pockets. 

  4. Organize it with pouches: Use our pouches to keep similar items together and find exactly what you need. Keep all writing supplies in one pouch, tech accessories in another, and personal items separate from school supplies.

Our Keep It Light Nylon Backpacks and bags are easy to clean. While they are machine washable, we recommend that you hand-wash your backpack with cold water and hang dry.
