Backpack Clip Attachments: Which Ones Are Best for Kids?

Short answer: The best backpack clip attachments for kids are lightweight, smooth-edged, easy to open, and attached to reinforced loops. Small plastic clips, simple S-biners, and lightweight accessory carabiners can work for low-load items.

Keep the load light

Clips are useful for small accessories, not for adding significant weight to a child's backpack.
