Summary of reviews

The backpack is appreciated for its sturdiness, ample space, and multiple compartments, making it ideal for school and travel. However, there are concerns about the durability of the water bottle pocket and zipper quality. Guests find it useful for carrying laptops, books, and other essentials, but the recent decline in quality, particularly the water bottle holder and straps, has been noted.

    Got the strawberry print and it’s adorable! Since the fabric is a light color, it does tend to get dirtier easier. I treat mine with 3M fabric spray to help protect the fabric from getting stains/dirt on it. But it’s a great backpack. Lots room, pockets and compartments. Good to travel with.

    I really liked this backpack a lot and especially it being pink which is my favorite color. This backpack is perfect for school or for traveling since it's has lots of space to put lots of things in it, including your laptop!

    It has a lot of space to put a lot of stuff. I packed for Florida in my backpack. I also use it for school and I really like every thing about it except that there is only one water bottle pocket.

    I didn’t get this bag free to write this review. I bought it. This backpack is truly a powerhouse, it has somehow made it to the week before Christmas without crumbling into a pile of fabric. This bag holds everything, including a rotting apple. Now my dear sweet 9 year old, last cleaned this bag out right before Thanksgiving and this apple Injist found was simply a pile of mush, and smelled like a distillery. Somehow though, zipped up I never once smelled the apple, until unzipped it in the dark car put my hand in the pocket to look for a hair tie . I did not find a hair tie but I did discover a new smell proof bag.

    My son has had this backpack for 3 months and the water bottle holder has already ripped. He now doesn't take his water bottle yo school anymore because he can't put it in his backpack. For the price of this backpack, I expected it to last for years!

    For the price, this backpack seems quite durable. So far it fits all that i put in it; jacket, gloves, food container and laptop. The last of which has its own dedicated slot which is nice!

    Super bummed. These have always been such great backpacks. My son’s zipper is already messed up on the big part of the backpack. I didn’t even have it a month prior to breaking. Backpack is sturdy and has a lot of space though. Was hoping to use this through junior high.

    I bought this backpack in a smaller size and exchanged it for this one to get more space as well as bottle holders. This bag is super roomy, with multiple large and small pockets. It's a great option for elementary school age. Feels sturdy as well.

    This backpack is fine, the zipper feels pretty flimsy and not quality and the fabric is a little thin. It will probably last 2 years with regular use. However, the main issue with this purchase is the terrible shipping. I only ordered this backpack because its promised delivery was in time for the start of school. However, the backpack wasn't shipped until the day it was promised to be delivered. It arrived a week after its promised delivery with no shipping updates at all. It is unreasonable to provide this poor level of service.

    Doesn’t feel as nice of quality as the same type of backpack directly from Jansport. The straps are thinner, the material is rougher/stiffer, the zippers stick. Hoping it makes it through the year for the price paid. Cute print.
