It's that time of year again and the kids are eyeing up new Fortnite backpacks for the new school year. Whether back to school sales have you searching for the biggest discounts, or you're simply after the most comfortable and spacious carrier for next semester, we've got you covered. 

We're rounding up all the best Fortnite backpacks that we've found around the web. Not only that, but we're keeping this search limited to officially licensed gear. There are a lot of fakes running around on the internet these days, so we've separated the wheat from the chaff and brought you all the highest quality bags on the digital shelves. 

We'd recommend you start your search at Amazon. The retailer is currently offering Prime members a 'try before you buy' guarantee. That's perfect for picking a kid's backpack - you don't pay anything until you test it out and find out if it's the right fit or not. You'll find a range of official Fortnite backpacks available at Amazon, but we've also found luck browsing Target's shelves as well. 

How do you make sure you're getting a solid backpack? It's easy to make sure you're choosing a bag with ample space, but we'd also recommend checking how comfortable and padded the straps are, and whether there's any additional padding for more fragile items. Thankfully, the current line of official merch offers a separate pocket for a laptop or Chromebook, as well as thick, padded straps as well. If you're after something a little more robust, we'd recommend looking into laptop backpacks specifically. 

You'll find all our top picks just below.
