When I remember the back to school rush, I remember the excitement of choosing a new backpack. One of the best parts about getting ready was choosing which bag would accompany me each day. Since I was the second child, I didn’t always get a new bag but I was stoked the years I did. I have found a great company called Bixbee that has a great assortment that is sure to thrill. The best part about this company is that for each backpack purchased from Bixbee, they send a schoolbag with supplies to a child in need.  This vision for improving educational opportunities for all children took shape in 2010.  After co-founder, Luis Garcia, spent five months exploring and volunteering with children in developing countries.  Launching School Bags For Kids in 2011 brought Luis’s vision into reality.

I was sent the Rocketflyer-Blue Backpack for review.  If you have a little boy, this is a must see bag.  It is definitely eye catching and will be the hit of the classroom for the little boys.  It is a smaller sized backpack that would be good for younger children.  I’d say perhaps 3rd grade and younger.  This backpack is more horizontal which is perfect for keeping supplies organized and easy to find.  There is a zippered main compartment and six additional slip or zippered pockets throughout to hold additional gear.  I like that there is an id card holder under the main flap since we all know that children don’t always keep track of their belongings.

Our boys both love this bag and our (almost) 3 year old doesn’t want to ever take it off.  If he’s awake, you can find him wearing it.  I just can’t get over how stylish and yet functional this bag is.

I remember, when I was doing daycare, one of the parents used a smaller backpack as their diaper bag for their boys.  This bag would be perfect for that.  How cute would that be at a baby shower?  Pack the bag with baby essentials and you wouldn’t even need to wrap the gift.

Buy It: Head over to Bixbee to see for yourself the great selection of  products they offer. Check out the Sparkalicious Collection if you have a little girl.  Our 8 year old daughter is smitten with them and would love to get Sparkalicious Butterflyer-Purple.  If you have a slighter older child, be sure to check out the Signature line.  They also carry lunch boxes and accessories.
