I chase around two little kids at least 12 hours on most days, and having two free hands for all of those hours is crazy important. I carry a diaper bag (though my kids are both officially out of diapers now!), a small shoulder bag most days or a wristlet for quick errand runs – but on any other day I am a huge fan of the backpack. I can pack all the extra clothes, toys, water bottles, snacks, my small shoulder bag and still have room for a few errand items while out and about – all while I comfortably carry one kiddo on my hip and hold my other little one’s hand. Here are 9 great staple and stylish backpacks for mom, sure to keep her looking trendy and hands-free!
