Is your child’s backpack safe?

In Back to School, Kids by savvysassymomsLeave a Comment


Last week was the first day of school for us and after Labor Day weekend even more kids will be starting there first day of school.  So as the homework begins to pile up,  you’ll want to make sure your kids backpack is safe!

Early this month I was a part of the Lands’ End Night School event in New York City where bloggers boarded big yellow school buses and headed to Night School, it was the perfect way to kick off the back-to-school season.  I was honored to be a brand ambassador for the event and work the Lands’ End “First day look” styling section.  Where bloggers got to style their most creative and fashionable outfits using all the fall clothing, accessories, shoes, backpacks and jackets from Lands’ End for a chance to win a $500 shopping spree!  The back to school and fall clothing for kids is simply adorable.

What would Back-to-School be without a brand new backpack!?

83% of parents said purchasing a new backpack adds to the excitement of a new school year and is something their kids look forward to.  Lands ‘End back -to-school parent survey

Buying a brand new backpack for the first day of school is always a must but I was shocked by this display showing just how heavy our kids backpacks can be!  Could you imagine having you child carrying a 10lb bag of sugar or a tire on their back?  Wow.

All Lands’ End backpacks are constructed with a host of innovative details including: a “no‐tip” design that keeps them standing upright when packed; adjustable chest straps; ergonomic design, padded shoulder straps and back panels; reinforced bottoms; finished interior seams; bartacked stress points; and reflective trim to help keep kids visible.

Perfect Packing – Make sure to follow these tips from our friends at Land’s End and the American Physical Therapy Association for a healthy and happy back to school season.

Shopping for Back to School clothes?  

It’s still hot here in Southern California so I tend to save some of my back-to-school shopping for when it gets a little cooler.  Which is great because I can take my time and find the quality pieces I really want to splurge for.   There are so many fun items in the Lands’ End Kids collection this year.  What I I love most about the collection is that, anything goes!  You can literally have your kids dress themselves, mix and match, layer up and they’ll look like they just walked out of the Lands’ End catalog!

71% of parents said kids will wear through their knees before the school year lets out.

Moms do not miss out on the IRON KNEE – which is an innovative interior knee patch that adds double the durability. The invisible polyester patch is soft, pliable and undetectable from the outside.  Iron Knee is available in styles for girls and boys and will stand up after more than 50 washes and the toughest abuse kids can dish out.
