[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to Target and let your kid pick out whatever backpack they like, whether it is a plain one, design or a character.  It doesn't matter much in K and they will definitely need a bigger one within a couple of years.  Their style and interests will also change.  Our cheap Target backpacks lasted for all of K and 1st.  Enjoy this time before they care about brand names and have to lug around a lot of stuff.  [/quote]

I disagree. The Target ones will fall apart. We've had our lands end ones for 4 years now, washed them regularly, and they still have a lifetime of wear in them. Get a high quality one. [/quote]

How did you wash them? Just in the washing machine? What cycle? We have a PBK one that's in great shape but in desperate need of a good wash.[/quote]

Pre-treat any stains, wash on the gentle cycle, and then hang to dry.[/quote]

I'm not sure we are even that nice to it. Dump in wash, remove and let dry.

Pro tip: be sure to check all pockets for food, paint, play dough.... it can go south quickly if you don't![/quote]
