Personlized Backpack for Toddler Boy

We are ready to move from the diaper bag to a backpack for my son so I'm looking to purchase a cute, decent quality backpack for my son who's almost 2. I would like for it to have his name on it as well. As far as size, I need it to be big enough to hold extra changes of clothing, snacks and a few toys but not so big that he can't carry it.

Does anyone have recommendations for a good place to order or purchase one - one that will last? I want to keep the cost under $50. I've looked in a couple of magazines but it's hard to tell the size sometimes and I definitely cannot tell the quality just based on a picture.

Any recommendations are appreciated. Thank you!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?™

Thank you all for all the great suggestions for backpacks. I actually ended up finding one at Children's Place this weekend on clearance for $5! I've found that their clothes tend to hold up well so hopefully the backpack will as well. Also, thank you for the warning about putting his name on it. I think I will just have it monagrammed with his initials. I am definitely going to save all of the responses so that when this pack wears out, I can look back at all the recommendations. Thanks again!

They are very well made and a great size. You can put their initials, nickname, graphics, whatever you like. They will embroider it on for you.

Jansport makes a great backpack that holds up well and they a small style for little kids. Unfortunately I don't know where to tell you to get one, but maybe if you look online at the jansport website they will have a list of retailers that sell them. As for putting his name on it, I do embroidery and would be able to do that, as would any embroidery shop.

Hi K.:

I just received my order from Land's End. My 2 year old started preschool, so I wanted one that was also big enough to hold a light folder.

They have toddler and little kid sized backpacks, embrodered names in a variety of styles, and embroidered pics (i.e. football).

Land's End has always had very great quality items. They even have a guarantee on their clothing and shoes that states if anything falls apart while your child can still fit into it, they will replace it free. If you buy mittens from them and your child loses one, they will replace the lost one free of charge.

I believe I paid about $40 for the backpack, name and an embroidered football.

Good Luck.

Hometown Threads inside of Walmart has some cute backpacks. I got my nephew one as a baby shower gift. They even put the name on the backpack for you. Lots of designs to choose from!

Another place to look would be inside of Willow Bend Mall. On the second floor near Dillards is another engraving type place that sells lots of nice things. I am pretty sure they have backpacks too.

Look on ebay for Stephen Joseph Backpacks. They are super cute and really practical for the little guys! You can also have them monogramed. I've noticed that different ebay stores carry them. I purchased mine almost 2 years ago and we still use it. I tried to remember which ebay store I bought it from but for the life of me, I couldn't remember...sorry!
