the plastic school bag

Kid's raincoats, gum boots, pencil cases and backpacks are usually made out of PVC (Vinyl) which is one of the very worst kinds of plastic for their health. I found these backpacks and lunch boxes from Crocodile Creek, they are made specially from non-toxic plastic. They are the only brand I could find that are making their brand PVC, BPA and Phthalate free and that are easy to get in Australia. A good website to find more really nice environmentally friendly kids products is Growing Up Green.
