This cart is big enough to hold all sorts of bulky and heavy items like books and art projects. The included insert has a lot of pockets and sections for keeping you organized. Plus, the cart folds down flat when you’re not using it.
If you’re looking for a bag with a dedicated space for your laptop, this is a pretty choice. One reviewer even notes that it’s great for teachers, saying, “I love this little bag! I have loaded it with books, papers, and items that I usually keep in my purse and is still holding up great.”
It may be one of the pricier rolling bags for teachers on the list, but this wheeled tote is built to last. We love the professional look and telescoping handle that tucks into its own pocket when not in use.
This rolling bag is nothing fancy to look at, but boy, is it tough. It’s built to hold tools, so it will definitely hold up to heavy books and other teacher gear.
The telescoping handle on this pack folds down when needed for use as a regular backpack. One reviewer notes, ” My wife and I are school teachers. We needed a bag that could double up as a backpack on days when we didn’t have so much weight because of the books, and the option of rolling it when we were loaded with books.”
This affordable tote gives you lots of options. Fill it up and roll it with the extendable handle. Need to go up some stairs? Use the straps to carry it on your back. You can also collapse it and move it around with the shoulder handle.
Easy on your back and fashionable to boot! This rolling briefcase is heavy-duty and fully padded with lots of room for everything you need to carry back and forth. Need to switch between rolling and carrying? No problem! This bag also comes with a removable shoulder strap.
Here’s another reasonably-priced rolling tote with plenty of room in its large open compartment. One reviewer says: “I researched many rolling bags after my physical therapist told me I had to stop carrying my heavy school bags on my shoulder. I’m a teacher who has to walk two blocks from parking to the school. I didn’t want a ‘suitcase’ looking bag, but I wanted something sturdy and roomy. I often carry lots of books, or, as a drama teacher, lots of other odd things! This bag is PERFECT for me! It’s sturdy, but amazingly light when empty. SO much room!”
If you like the idea of a rolling backpack but don’t want to spend a fortune, this is a great option. It comes in 25 cute and vibrant patterns and colors, making it one of our favorite rolling bags for teachers.
Vera Bradley fans, here’s your rolling bag! It collapses down when not in use, and the separate bottom compartment is a great place for your laptop or stacks of papers to grade.
Craft bags make amazing rolling bags for teachers. They have tons of compartments for storage and organization. This one rolls along on smooth wheels and has an extendable handle too.
One reviewer calls this her new favorite teacher bag. “I am SO happy with this bag. I love the big zippered top, the spacious front pocket (where I store my personal items, like my wallet and keys), and the flexibility of the shell (so I can stuff oddly shaped items in there if needed). The bag also has an inner laptop pocket to protect and secure my laptop, plus ample interior space for my iPad and many folders and textbooks.”
The classic leather rolling bag. Sturdy, roomy, and professional, this bag is king when it comes to heavy papers or books. Stash your laptop (up to 17 inches) in the special padded compartment, and you’ll still have plenty of room for binders, snacks, and more. This bag also locks, so you can keep everything inside safe.
This rolling shopper tote is available in five great patterns, including a zebra print and Hawaiian daisies. It’s lightweight but sturdy, so you can trust it with all your teacher stuff.
At less than twenty bucks, this tote is such a bargain that everyone should buy one just to keep on hand for emergencies. It has shoulder straps, it’s expandable, and it includes rolling wheels. Reviewers note that it may not hold up to extremely heavy loads, so be cautious if you’re hauling stacks of books or something similar.
