Choosing between types of backpacks
This report covers backpacks for school and commuting, including rolling backpacks and kids' backpacks. We also take a look at laptop backpacks, which include a padded compartment for a notebook computer. ConsumerSearch has a separate report on hiking backpacks for camping and hiking trips, but for short hikes, many of the packs included in this report could be pressed into duty. Related Searches

Backpacks come in a wide variety of colors, shapes, sizes and prices. Unlike some other consumer products, paying more won't necessarily get you a higher-quality pack. In fact, many of the top-rated backpacks are classic styles from JanSport and L.L.Bean that cost less than $50. These simple backpacks score highly for durability, but they don't feature many of the bells and whistles found on pricier packs, including those from The North Face -- another top-rated brand in reviews. Although you won't necessarily get better quality in an expensive backpack, you will usually get more extras such as internal organizers, mesh bottle holders, key fobs, headphone ports, ventilated back pads and laptop sleeves. Keep in mind that all of these extras add weight to the pack, so it pays to consider whether you really need lots of pockets and zippered pouches.
Backpacks for adults and older children in high school have capacities starting at about 1,800 cubic inches and ranging up to 2,700. Some smaller packs are available at about 1,500 cubic inches, like those designed specifically for women. For younger children, it's important to select a backpack that's appropriate for their size. The smallest packs for kids in preschool and kindergarten have capacities of about 800 cubic inches, while larger backpacks for elementary and middle school children can reach up to 1,200. Experts recommend that children carry no more than 10 to 15 percent of their bodyweight to avoid back strain. See our What to Look for page for more information on sizing and weight guidelines.
We found the best comparison tests of backpacks at ConsumerReports.org, even though the site hasn't updated its review since 2009. Editors test just six packs, rating each one on construction, durability, water resistance, convenience, comfort and safety features. ConsumerReports.org's testing is well-documented and very solid, but there's no analysis to accompany the backpack ratings and we wish more packs were included. Good Housekeeping also conducts a detailed test of backpacks, putting 32 packs to the test using a panel of kid testers. Each pack is tested for practicality, comfort and durability, and only seven earn a recommendation for children going back to school. A similar review, also from Good Housekeeping, evaluates 17 backpacks for storage capacity and organizational features. It recommends just one back for younger children and one for high-school-age kids.
Because backpacks are so frequently used as a convenient way to transport laptops, tech-focused publications also delve into backpack ratings. CNET.com, for example, says of backpacks (after mocking their less-than-sophisticated look when worn by adults), "Despite years of bag evolution, they're still the best way to carry a laptop, books and other assorted gear around campus." A related section on CNET includes dozens of individual product ratings and descriptions of backpacks, but most reviews haven't been updated since 2009. PCMag.com has a similar section, including individual backpack reviews with editors' ratings, most recently updated in 2010.
Owner-written reviews are also valuable when evaluating backpacks. Some of the best parental and kid assessments come from eBags.com, an online retailer that has thousands of reviews on a variety of different packs. Some backpacks attract hundreds, if not thousands, of individual reviews on this site. Likewise, LuggageOnline.com offers hundreds of backpacks, many of which earn a few dozen comments or more. Buzzillions.com, which aggregates consumer feedback from around the web, and Amazon.com are also good sources for backpack reviews.
