Kids Eco Friendy Backpacks

Today was my daughter's preschool orientation - next week she goes all by herself. So, I was thinking I'd get her a useful little gift for school: a kids (toddler) backpack. Obviously, there are quite a few to choose from, but we like to keep things as 'green' as possible in our home. I began looking for some eco-friendly kids backpack options; they were a bit hard to find. But after some time I came across enough to share this short list of the cutest, economical, practical, environmentally responsible kids backpacks available.

My daughter truly enjoys the Stephen Joseph quilted kids backpack in the ladybug design.

    I was drawn to your Mimi the Sardine Coated Organic Cotton Backpack and when I read the description that it was made in the SanFrancisco Bay Area, coincidentally, I have a lens about an aquarium there. I SF Bay is calling to me.

    Some little ones seem so loaded down with their backpacks too large for their little bodies. I prefer the smaller versions and that Cold Feet Penguin Backpack smiled back at me!

    I love the owl backpack. But yes I think that older kids are sometimes required to carry way to much on their back.

    As a Doctor of Chiropractic and single father... I can definitely answer YES. Kids are carrying too much weight around in their backpacks. To make matters worse they carry then on one shoulder on a narrow and thinly padded strap. It's a battle I'm constantly fighting with my son. Luckily pre-schoolers and younger students don't usually have to carry around much so all of these cute and green backpacks are safe and adorable!
