I have had this backpack since it was first made- really- I got it for Christmas the first year it was offered. I now have five children of my own and the backpack is still going strong.
I carried it in grade school, high school and college. I have used it as a diaper bag, knitting bag and travel bag.
My brothers and sister have carried it. My children have carried it.
It has been loved and loved more, beaten, tossed around, stepped on, over-stuffed, stored under piles of stuff in the closet and it still comes back for more.
Like all great warriors it has its scars, and its running on its second zipper, but WOW! What a backpack! More than just a bag, it has earned its place as a member of the family. Thanks!
I bought this backpack for my son eight years ago, when he was a toddler starting daycare. He has USED IT EVERY WEEKDAY FOR EIGHT YEARS, to go to school or summer camp. He has taken it on most of our family vacations. He has not treated it gently. And it is STILL IN PERFECT CONDITION!!!!! My son is almost ready for middle school. I'm replacing the backpack now only because he would like a different color. I'm a fairly picky person, but I have nothing to complain about here. I've never seen another product like this -- it is truly amazing.
I purchased the red camo backpack for my grandson for kindergarten this year. My daughter just loves it because of the great quality and she can see him enter the school because of the reflector on it from across the parking lot. Everything fits in it perfectly. Great product!!
