I have purchased this exact same backpack for my son twice. Once last year, and then again at the beginning of this school year. He is in middle school and they don't use lockers, so he has to carry around 7 classes worth of books, binders, and supplies in his backpack. This one has compartments for literally everything, and he still has enough room to put his jacket in when he's not wearing it. It's excellent quality, and comfotable to carry around.

Great storage but horrible quality. One of the straps is hanging by threads and the handle has come off. My child only ever carriers a chrome book and a few other items and he it’s lasted not even 3 months.

Dissapointed - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
This backpack is terrible. We bought this for my 11 year old to finish out last school year. It held up okay for a few months of use in elementary school but he’s been using it this year and it’s ripped (water bottle pocket) as well as the top handle. I thought buying him a more expensive bag would get us something that was better quality, but this bag didn’t even last an entire school year.
Cheap

Alex - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
I bought this backpack for traveling purposes. I love that it is very comfortable and it has a lot of space. Nice amount of pockets. The price is a little high, but I bought it with a special offer that was going on at the moment so I bought 2 and I was able to save some bucks. Other than that, it is recommended. :) Also, I must say I like the color. The black one looks nice too, so I got one for my hubby and a burgundy for myself :)

phall09 - 8 months ago
I've purchased this backpack from Target multipule times for 2 kids and they love them, until this last purchase. The material feels differnet and it's smaller than the ones we've bought in the past, for the same price. I've been searching other sites to see if we can find the older version because that was so much better. I'm disappointed in the changes made to this backpack.

Barely lasted through the year. Finish came off within a week and iPad interior sleeve ripped. Backpack shoulder straps are both ready to come loose due to weak stitching.
Doesn't last!

Won’t even last a school year. As you can see from the pics, most of the seams are ripping. The inner pocket in the larger side is also completely ripped out. Don’t waste your money!
