This backpack was used by my granddaughter for school, and did not hold up well. The pockets fell apart too easily, and make the pack look worn and ratty.

Good backpack.
Used for: Casual or Every Day
We like the backpack. The size is perfect for my 1st grader. We love all the pockets. I wish the top carry handle had padding. It does not feel very high quality.

Loved it, but side pockets developed holes

I loved this backpack for my 2nd grader, but the mesh pockets for water bottles developed multiple holes within 6 months with daily use for school. I was hoping for a longer lastin

Very durable and lasts a long time. Kids have yet to break them. First time we have had a bag last two school years plus summer camp.

The backpack quality, color, storage, utility are all great! The only problem I have, which is a deal breaker, is the fit. I find the straps very wide set and they are constantly s
