I didn't even know there was such a thing, but you better believe when my son Dalton is school age he's getting one!

Amendment II sells a "ballistic" backpack for children and teens for $300 bucks and they are available in Swiss Gear, Avengers and Disney Princesses styles and claim:

"Our ballistic backpack provides built-in ballistic protection in a backpack that weighs just ounces more than a non-armored backpack. RynoHide carbon nanotube armor is lined in the back panel of the backpack. Sewn into the rear of the pack, you can always be confident that the armor hasn't been accidentally left at home and that you or your child are protected in case of the unthinkable. The backpack can be quickly brought to the front as a shield or can serve as center of mass protection while fleeing the scene of the shooting."
