Multiple pockets? Padded back panel and shoulder straps? Side water bottle pocket? Made in part from recycled materials? Internal laptop compartment that fits a 15 inch laptop? Check, check, check, and double check. Jansport is a brand that has been designing and producing rucksacks of the highest quality for years, and this laptop backpack from them can be trusted to perform to their supreme standards. There's a front utility pocket with organiser (aka a place that individually holds and stores loose stationery), a side pocket for your water bottle, the main compartment is large enough to store multiple books and folders, and there's an internal sleeve specifically for a laptop. Plus, it's made in part from recycled materials. What child, tween, or teen wouldn't want the Superbreak Plus.

Little America Backpack - Herschel Supply Company‍

Modern functionality marries iconic style with Herschel's best known backpack. Their custom striped fabric lines the bag, whilst magnetic straps and adjustable drawstring closures keep it tight shut. There's a fleece-lined and padded laptop sleeve which can fit 15 inch devices, as well as an internal media pocket with its very own headphone port. The front pocket also has a key clip for easy access, and the shoulder straps and back panel are both padded.

Original Mini Top Clip Backpack - Hunter‍

In need of a laptop bag that still fits all the essentials but isn't too large? We give you the Hunter mini laptop backpack. Weatherproof, spacious, but still natty enough to mean your kids (or yourself!) don't end up bashing too many people with it.  Crafted from water-resistant nylon with a leather trim, this can hold a 12 inch laptop, and side pockets allow for storing bits and bobs as necessary. There's both a parachute clip and zip closure at the top for extra security, and adjustable padded straps. We also love this vibrant yellow - it may earn serious compliments.

Seoul - Kipling‍

Kipling's Seoul is a lightweight but large backpack with a spacious interior, handy top handle, plenty of pockets, and groovy printed design. It also, of course, has an internal laptop sleeve, and the Kipling monkey - but this guy's been jazzed up to be a robot monkey instead. There's a top pocket, there's a side pocket, and there's a front pocket that includes its own zipped pocket, mobile phone pocket, and pouch pocket for your wallet, plus a pen loop and key fob. Phew, we did say there were a lot of pockets. Safe, secure, and organised with adjustable backpack straps - what more could you want?

Out Of Office Backpack - Eastpak‍

Eastpak is another brand that has been around for years, and has something of a cult following in consequence. These bags are amongst the best to head to university with because of their brand following, their functionality, their multiple colour options (currently at 76), their quality. Eastpak are so sure these backpacks will last that the warranty on these is 30 years - so your kids can take it to university with them and then have it for years after as a way of rekindling the nostalgia. 100% polyester means it's 100% vegan, with a main compartment that's accessible via a zip-down front panel, and a front zippered pocket. The internal tech sleeve is padded and will hold devices up to 13 inches, and there's adjustable padded shoulder straps and back panel.

There's a hidden back pocket too, for valuables, and a USB port by which to charge devices.
