Back to School Backpacks – Character Bags for Every Fan

The new school year is creeping up—and nothing says "I'm ready" like a backpack that actually looks the part. Whether your child lives and breathes Mario, can't get enough of Sonic, is obsessed with the latest Stranger Things, loves Stitch (and yes, we've got more than one design), can't get enough of the magic from Frozen, or is all about the Super Mario crew—we've tracked down the best character bags for every kind of fan. From Stitch to Sonic, Stranger Things to Frozen, this edit covers the lot. Every backpack here is chosen with two things in mind: the kid has to love the design, and the parent has to trust the quality. Sturdy zips, padded straps, roomy enough for all the books and lunch—because a good bag should last the whole school year, not just the first week.
