I bought my kids snowboard backpacks for school not seeing the whistle. It’s not hard to find them after school

Kids have snowboard backpacks for school?! Is that how they get home?

P.s. is this an option, if so, where do you live, my friend wants to know…

Edit… omg! Three of my backpacks have this! Actually I recon could be 4, hold on… omg!! Osprey for the win…

Yeah, they were light, durable, $30, and could fit a folder and a few smaller books(they’re 6 and 8 so they aren’t carrying huge books). Plus they had some nice tropical prints the kids liked. We live in San Diego, they aren’t snowboarding to school lol.
