Back-To-School
14 Cute & Practical Backpack Lunchbox Sets For Kids Of All Ages
From unicorns to fire trucks, these backpack sets keep it streamlined.
Show of hands if you’ve ever picked your kids’ (way too light) backpack off the kitchen floor and realized immediately that they left their lunch box at school, again. Kids are kids, and this is to be expected sometimes, but that doesn’t mean it’s not annoying, (especially when it’s Friday and you know the funky lunch remnants will be waiting for you on Monday). Fortunately, these backpack and lunch box sets will help your little one keep their lunch and their bag close together as some of the duos on this list actually connect via a strap or a zipper, and some are separate but the same fun print.
Whether your kid is into unicorns, dinosaurs, construction vehicles, outer space, or they have their eye on a glow-in-the-dark bag (bonus points: you won’t trip over it in when it’s strewn on the floor in a dark room) there’s a lunch box and backpack duo here that they’ll love. And some of these sets go above and beyond, offering corresponding pencil cases, water bottles, and even a pair of headphones. Maybe it’s wishful thinking that they won’t leave one behind if the lunch bag and backpack match, but at the very least, buying the two together usually saves some money.
