    Still good

    I got the same one for my older kid, it's nice and tough. My younger one wanted one too so I got this. I used to have a Jansport when i was a kid. It's nice to see that the quality on some things haven't changed over time. Got it in store. Five dollars less if you buy it online.

    Terrible Zipper Design

    Nice looking, sturdy backpack, but I can only give it 2 stars as the zippers are very problematic. There is an overhanging fabric to cover the zippers that constantly gets caught when zipping. Now, the zipper to the main compartment has gotten so caught in the fabric that you can no longer fully access that part of the backpack. Super disappointing since it’s not a cheap backpack and we are outside the @Target return window. $60 for a half a year’s use.

    Diaper Bag

    We have been using this as our diaper bag for about a week and I love it. it trumps any diaper bad we have seen in the store or online or have tried ourselves. I love having one pocket for diapers, wipes, and back up clothes; one pocket for formula, burp clothes, and bibs; one pocket for health and safety stuff; one pocket for bottles; and water, and one pocket for my stuff. I'm going to have to get a couple back ups when they go on sale again just incase a zipper breaks.

    The best backpack for school

    My kid used for three years and still good. But I bought the same one to be nice but my kid said I could still used it. I said sorry I threw it away because you were using years. It’s super durable and basic nice design!

    Good storage, poor zipper quality

    The size and variety of storage have been great for my high schooler. However the zipper on the main compartment has constantly gotten caught on the fabric, jammed, “off track”, and is now just broken. After only 3 months of use it is very disappointing

    Disappointed

    Cute backpack, but the bottom fell out right away. Tried to fix it, but it didn't last. The leather bottom is definitely not supportive enough.
