Your kid can feel ahead of the game style-wise, and you get the peace of mind that they won't lose all those valuable items like keys, phones and cards. And with so many versions out there, why stop at one?

Now is the time to get ahead of the crowd and find the perfect belt bag. And to help, we've had fun browsing and found five trendy belt bags we think you'll love as much as your kids will!

How to choose a belt bag for your child

You want a bag that your child loves to wear, but the best accessories are the ones that are fit for purpose. A bag is one fashion item that isn't just for show. Here are a few tips to help you choose a belt bag that's not only bang on-trend, but useful too:

• Size: Think about how much your child will be carrying and what the bag will be used for. A smaller bag is great for the basics, but if they need the bag to carry more items, such as water bottles or snacks, it's best to opt for a bigger bag.
• Adjustable: Choose a bag that can be adjusted to fit their body – this is particularly useful as the weather gets colder and more layers are added.
• Functional: A strong zip is a must, and handy pockets ensure nothing gets lost. A well-designed bag covers all those bases.
• Durable: Kids will be kids, which means they need belt bags that are going to withstand a lot of wear and tear.
