School Bags in Stock?

I tend to notice timing on the back to school supplies being populated on the shelves of my local big box store, as well as with Christmas displays, and other holidays. The unique thing I'm noticing this year, though, is the significantly lesser amount of school bags for kids on the shelves. There are plenty of materials, but only a handful of backpacks. There are, in fact, only two styles that are obviously feminine, intended for girls, in matching floral designs, one pink, the other blue. Several solid color backpacks don the area, and I see no signs of childhood favorite characters. Meanwhile, at my favorite grocer, there are a total of 4 backpack styles, with only 2-3 of each in stock. Two of the 4 styles are childhood characters, and smaller in size, aimed at younger children.

Given economic conditions, it's likely that a lot of kids are recycling their school bags this year. If you need to replace a bag in a small shopping community, your options may be very limited. However, there are plenty of inexpensive backpacks for both boys and girls, available online. Watch for shipping discounts to make the most, if you are looking for something a little more unique than what your big box store has to offer...check out the under $25 selection of school backpacks for tweens and kids at Amazon.

One Strap Backpacks for Tween Girls

A one strap backpack isn't a good choice as a main school book bag, as the style is smaller than a normal backpack, and will not adequately hold the typical sizes and quantities of school books a middle school student can expect to receive at the outset of the school year.  However, as a secondary tote, this is a nice, lightweight style, and makes a lot of sense, given the manner in which many middle school students, and older tend to carry a backpack slung over one shoulder.

A one strap backpack can serve as a nice alternative to a handbag or gym bag, and is a great way to keep physical education clothes separate from other academic materials.  The sling style bag is also a great lightweight travel bag, perfect for a day trip during the summer, or on a weekend.
