Picking a Dora the Explorer Backpack

With so many choices on the market, picking a Dora backpack can be a task in itself. Before heading over to the store or searching on-line, you’ll first want to consider a few pointers:

1. Size: In the world of kids school bags, as a general rule, there are three different sizes to consider; Toddler, mid-sized and full-sized. Dora toddler backpacks tend to measure in height around 9 – 10 inches where as mid-sized and full-sized backpacks for dora tend to measure 13 and 16 inches in height respectively.

2. Color & Characters: This pointer is BIG. You’ll want to consult with your customer (the Dora fan) for this one. Choose your colors. Dora backpacks usually come in various tones of pink, purple, and red. As for characters, you’ll want to decide who you want on the bag. Will it be Go Diego Go, Swiffer, and/or Boots.

3. Rolling or Standard: We all hear these days about kids having problems with their backs, caused by lifting of heavy books. Manufacturers have responded in recent years with the introduction of rolling kids backpacks. Look for a Dora rolling backpack if you think your child will have lots of books to carry. For lighter loads, a standard bag is acceptable, but it’s a good idea to choose a dora school bag with padded back straps.
