If you live in a big city or you’re someone who leaves the house early and doesn’t return home until late, it’s likely that you have a bag you put all your things into. Tote bags and backpacks are really popular these days, but which is the better bag? They each have their pros and cons, so let’s see which is best for you.
Backpack
Usually, a backpack will have lots of compartments, perfect for someone who has a lot of little things to carry around but still like to stay organized. Also, backpacks can be a little bit healthier to use than tote bags. This is because the weight is distributed equally on both parts of your shoulders, whereas a tote bag is only on one. With that being said, make sure you don’t overload it or you can still get back problems.
Totes
Tote bags are probably the better option for city slickers, because it’s harder for pickpockets to get you, and it’s a museum-friendly bag, whereas backpacks are almost always not allowed in or must be worn on the front. Tote bags are also better to travel with because it’s so compact, meaning that you can use a backpack and still keep a tote with you at the same time.
