Good Quality. Smaller than I expected when compared to other brands
My 5 year old had a cat and jack brand back pack (which was wearing out) so decided to give this one a try. Both were from target and they both were 16 inch back packs, but this one is actually quite a bit smaller. So even though the lengths were the same the actual overall size is a little smaller than most backpacks rated for elementary. I do like that it does have two side pockets for water bottles.

School backpack
This is great size backpack. It’s durable and easy to zip for smaller kids. We love the color. The side pocket holds water bottles. There are different zipper areas to store things in the backpack.

The quality is awful
I bought my kiddo a Lands End backpack 4 years ago and that one is indestructible. This year she needed a bigger one at last so we ordered the same style one size up. It broke after one month. I requested a replacement and that one broke after one month too. (The same top loop. An important feature.) My child does not carry heavy books, just a lunch, a water bottle and a jacket most days. I am really disappointed in the drop off in quality for this product. She loves the pattern so she’s disappointed too.

Nice bag
This backpack is nice has one large zipper compartment and a front small zipper to put small stuff or snacks. And has two bottle pockets on sides. My son loved it until one of the zipper loop came off on the first day of use. Definitely it should be more sturdy for this price point. If they improve their quality than I will recommend it

Great!
Just bought it last week, but I love the medium size for my 2nd grader- it's not too big. Seems very durable and is adorable!

Zipper broke after 6 months
My daughter loved this bag and it did a great job until the zipper broke on the back compartment. Now the bag is unusable. Others have stated the same thing happened to them. This must be a design flaw of the bag. The zipper first broke one direction, now it won’t work in either direction. Really disappointed as I was hoping for a good quality bag that would last a few years.

Super disappointed
It’s already coming unstitched and falling apart 😔 my kinder kiddo has been using it since September and is very careful with her belongings. I’ve had Walmart backpacks last longer and for way cheaper.

Perfect in-between size, small exterior pouch
Love this excellent quality backpack. It's the perfect size for my petite kindergartener. Furthermore, the interior has space for a full size folder and lunch box. And the fabric and it's bright colors have held up well to repeat washings. My only complaint is that the size of its exterior pocket, which I like to use to pack convenient school snacks, is very small and shallow. One cannot zip it shut with a lot of standard size Tupperware inside or multiple snacks. I wish the manufacturer would increase the pocket size to match the size of it's larger backpacks.

Coolest backpack : grandson approved
My grandson requested this backpack due to the camo print. Because I had previously given him a LE backpack ( which is still in great shape) I knew the quality would be worth the price. He loves it and is very cool in kindergarten.

Just okay.
Gets the job done but not great quality. I can’t imagine this is going to hold up the whole year

Lovely daisy design
I purchased this backpack for my niece. She is in the 2nd grade. She loves it. Just the right size for her. She can put her lunch and all her pictures and papers in it. The daisy design is perfect for a young girl.

Granddaughter Loved It
My granddaughter, was so excited to tell me that she was getting a new backpack this year. She told me it was in their Lands End catalog. We looked it up online and it was on sale and that day was the last for the sale. Anyway I told her if she would help me with a couple things I would order it, along with the matching lunch box and pencil case. It was such a good sale that we had to order something else to get free shopping and she picked out a pretty top. It made my day to get something special for her, thanks.

Very cheap quality - will return immediately
This is the type of backpack I would expect to get for free at a conference or camp giveaway. I just received it, but can already tell the zippers will break, the water bottle holder will rip and it will not be comfortable. I was expecting a basic, quality backpack - nothing extraordinary. But even at the 40% discount, this bag is not worth it. I will be returning immediately.
