Whether it's carrying books or outdoor essentials, these backpacks are made to last through every adventure.

From hallways to weekend hikes, The North Face has the perfect kids' backpack to match your child’s daily routine.

When back to school time rolls around, send your little one off to elementary school or middle school with all they need to tackle the day. The main compartment offers enough room for a lunch box, water bottle, school books, pencil cases, and more. Inside and outside, zippered and mesh pockets let them organize their school supplies. The Youth Recon Squash Backpack even has an interior name label. They'll never lose their bag again. Plus, each bag looks great with their new sweatshirt or camo fleece.

If the littlest members of your family want to match their older siblings, the Recon Squash bag doubles as a great toddler backpack or even a diaper bag.

What sets The North Face kid backpacks apart is the attention to the details that matter most to both little ones and parents. Each design blends comfort, functionality, and ease of use, making them ideal school backpacks as well as reliable companions for extracurricular activities and weekend adventures. Features like spacious main compartments, internal name tags, and easy-to-use zippers are thoughtfully included to support growing independence and organization.

But it’s not just about what’s inside. With a wide range of color options—from bold red and bright blue to fun, standout purples—there’s a backpack to match every child’s personality and style. Whether they want something classic or colorful, our kid backpacks let young explorers show off their individuality while staying ready for anything the day brings. It's the perfect combination of style and everyday utility that makes our backpacks a favorite season after season.
