Lots of parents are shopping for school bags for their children for the new year This post is for parents with kids just starting school in the following year. Other parents would be pros by now, with lots of school bags stories, strap broken in a week, bag fell off the stairs, too big, too small etc. Plenty of stories, the most common of them all would be too heavy. Not the bags per se but rather the books in the bags but then that's another story for another day.

Then when you have decided, remember to take your child along to try the bag out for size so you get the right size for him or her.
