Messenger Bag For Boys – Better Choice Than Backpacks

Messenger bags for boys, as with any children bags, come in great variety of patterns and sizes.Because of the fact that boys usually prefer backpacks, there is not as much variety as with messenger bags for girls. Actually, some of the boys messenger bags come looking almost like a backpack. What is the difference from a backpack-looking messenger bag and a backpack? Ease of access. Messenger bags are specifically made for quick storing and retrieving.

School requires a lot of books, notebooks and writing equipment to be placed and retrieved from the bag constantly. Messenger bags for boys provide the best experience when doing such tasks. Also, being made for children, they are less expensive than regular messenger bags. This is especially true with boy messenger bags since boys regularly find themselves running and jumping, and the bag inevitably gets damaged over time. While manufacturers try to make as durable bag as possible, the reality is that bags get damaged a lot just by being near active boys. You will have to get used to replacing the bag for your child. Luckily, prices are pretty low for these bags, they are mostly in 15-30$ range.

While there are a lot designers making specific bags, boys usually want the bag that they think looks the “coolest”. When you want to buy a bag for your kid, you will either go with him to the store, or if you know what exactly he likes, you can order the bag online. What you need to pay attention to is not to get him a “girl” bag. Boys really do not like that. The reason i am saying this here is that many store clerks will not know how to distinguish a boy bag from a girl one. I did not know either since there are many more bags made for girls than there are for boys. Be sure not to make that mistake, try to get as informed as possible.



As with any storage equipment, you need to take into account what your boy will be placing in the bag. Try to also account for things your child might need to carry around as well. If possible, always get a bag that will fit everything he currently needs, and have some extra space on top of that. Do not forget about the weight of empty bag. While boys are stronger than girls, you should not be putting unnecessary weight on their shoulders. Also, check the straps of the bag, they need to be as strong as possible, to endure everything your boy will put them through. Messenger bags for boys already have this in mind and the straps are usually reinforced in some way, but you do need to check for that yourself, not every bag has strong straps.

What i would recommend when buying a messenger bag for your kid is that you take some time and think about how, when and where will he use it. Once you know these factors, you will know the exact type of messenger bag he needs. However, i would always go for high-durability bag, not only because it overall cuts on costs, but because worn-out, but useful, bags are so cool. I had a messenger bag when i was in school and i love to take it out with me even today. It is almost destroyed but it holds so much memories and looks like an antiquity. It is a true vintage messenger bag. Then again, i have a similar bag which i threw out years ago since it was just completely destroyed.

Leather Messenger Bag For Boys

Almost in every case, i would advise against buying one of those for your boy. If my school was any example, leather messenger bags did not last long there. I also had a leather messenger bag which i carried for one year with me and what i hated about it was its weight. Leather is heavy and because messenger bag is naturally big, all that weight was really noticeable. All that aside, there will be children that will want to ruin your bag in one way or another. No, leather bags are just not for boys, in my honest opinion. With that being said, i recognize that there are boys that will love it and that will take really good care of it. If you perceive that your boy is one of those children, you can go and buy him a leather bag, if he really wants it.
