Can you hang backpacks securely on this product? I have three elementary school aged children who need a place to hand there stuff.

Your children are likely too short to reach the coat hooks. Otherwise, backpacks that don't exceed the weight of a winter coat on each hook (4) would likely be okay.

I hang my heavy purse and a small backpack on it. It would depend on heavy the three backpacks are. Also, the hooks would be high for kids. I have been quite happy with it but it really use mostly for coats.

It depends on how heavy they are and if they are evenly distributed throughout the rack. I would not hang 10+ pound backpacks as I used to carry in my day.

you certainly can, but it all depends on how heavy the backpacks are. What we do is hang the heavy ones along the umbrella stand with kitchen caddy hooks we got from ikea.

The weight should not be an issue. We have had a backpack, a messenger bag, and many coats on it one time, without any issue. As noted already, the lowest hooks are out of most little kids reach. Depending on the item, we have to place things on and get them off for our soon to be 5 year old.

I have several on a shelf I mounted on the wall. They are partly open in the back, so you could try putting 2 picture hanger-type hooks in the wall (level and about 7 1/2" apart) and catching the back of the unit on the hooks. I'm not sure how secure this would be, so I'd squeeze the hook as tight as possible to make it hold snuggly. I'd give it a good firm wiggle & tug before putting anything in it. Don't use it if it's not really secure; you don't want it falling off the wall once it's loaded. A shelf might be better.I think if you try to drill holes in the plastic it will crack the plastic.

I love the one I bought for my grankids to hold their stuffed animals...I have about 20 in it, so it holds a good bit...as long as it's hung properly. My husband used wall anchors. It looks great hanging in the corner of their rooms and keeps clutter at bay.

That may be a bit too much weight for there lockers. Excellent for kids to store their school materials. Not sure about that much weight.

Well, yes and no! I lean more toward the NO side though!Yes, you could put a "very small lock" through the zipper pulls which will keep the bag from being open. This may work if you don't want your "younger children" getting into the bag. However, if someone just twisted the lock I believe the pulls would just break, they don't look very strong and that's why I say NO. This is a very nice bag though and will keep your things together.

I don't think these are sturdy enough for books. I have handbags stored on mine and they get very wobbly with too much weight. If your 4 and 5 year olds are like my nephews, they'll have lots of books. Better to go for something sturdier. I think you'll have more flexibililty.

There's nothing to secure them so I don't think you can. I would not recommend it as they are very heavy.

Absolutely. I have 4 kids on them ranging from 3 to 11y...from not so strong to very strong. Part of the wall I positioned the holds ergonomically and part of the wall I turned them "upside down"---in a way not so easy to grasp. You could do a whole wall with lots of holds in easy to grab positions. Then, in time, pull some holds off and turn others upside down for more challenge.

if they were small stockings then maybe. Also you would need strong anchors to hold that kind of weight. The ones that come with the the hat rack would not support a stocking for each hook unless empty.

I think you could. You might want to find a way to secure them together if you're stacking anything remotely heavy or breakable though. For light/unbreakable items, you'd probably be fine.

Yes BUT... you would be need to be very careful what you place on the upper shelves and how you placed those items in order to create the right balance so it would not fall forward. The only real way to be safe would be to use a wall anchored bracketing system to ensure it can't fall forward. Think about those advertisements for TV stands and child safety; those same dynamics would apply here.

I don't hang mine up but if nothing else, you could tie a piece of rope around the handle and use that as the hanger. Do you have the handles loose enough to move them? Sorry I can't help more.

Yes. I am a teacher and bought a class set of these. There is a little thing in the middle of the clip board that pulls up to be used for hanging.

If you mean by hanging them on the hooks, I'd have to say no. I use them to store my slips which are very light.
1555024
Actually yes you can. If you had a lot of weight on the hangers I think it would wear on the holder over time but a few empty hangers or really light items would probably still work.

I agree with the previous responder... They may be able to hold that weight stationary, but are not secure enough to provide safe resistance. They slide around when I just take towels or my bathrob on/off the hooks. Also, I don't know if I would trust them to not bend against something pulling against them.

Yes. You need to anchor it using something, even if loading with smaller items.
