I absolutely love the Jaxon backpacks. They come in a range of animal styles from penguins to frogs, but it's the shark one that my son would go bananas for.
As well as being extremely cute they are also made to be hard wearing, which is great when you're up against the Irish weather and kids.
My son's first year at school I think he went through three backpacks he was so rough with them and always leaving food containers that leaked in the bottom of the bag ruining them.
The Jaxon packs are made to withstand everything your child can throw at it as well as having comfy padded straps and extra pockets for important stuff like rocks and pine cones.
Now that the rain has made its return (why though?), a good waterproof jack is a must have for autumn.
My son has some lovely coats but if he gets caught in the rain they often soak up the water and remain damp all day.
Regatta's range of Betulia waterproof jackets are absolute lifesavers and I even have an adult sized version for myself.
Not only will they keep your child dry they also come in a wide variety of colours and styles to suit any style or school uniform.
Also in the back to school sale are waterproof trousers, walking shoes and fleeces perfect for keeping little ones cosy on cold morning school runs.
Sale prices start at €7 and all school sale items are available to buy in-store and online.Explore more on these topics:
