    Great quality

    Great quality, my daughter had the same backpack but smaller size for 3 years and it looks like new except a little dirt. We purchased the same item but bigger size this time.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Cheap matetial and rips easily.

    I bought this for my 6th grader and I expected it to last atleast until Christmas but it has already torn. It’s a cheaper feel than I would expect for this brand. He has only used it for 6 weeks. Thankfully I’m about to return it and get my money back.

    Cheap discount store feel

    This was such a disappointment! I thought it would be great, but the backpack felt like it had come from a cheap discount store. Or like a “free gift with purchase” kind of quality. The quality and the fit were all wrong.
