[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine's using last year's version of this: https://www.landsend.com/products/kids-classmate-backpacks/id_393365?attributes=8833,43321,43376,44151,44623 Northface also makes great backpacks that are more durable but also bigger.[/quote]

Lands End is just cruel to buy for a tween.

North Face or plain old Jansport.[/quote]

NP. Why?[/quote]
There's nothing wrong with Lands End, some of my DD's friends have them. That PP is just a rich nasty snob. Normal kids have Lands End, kids whose moms' sole purpose in life is to stay pretty so her lawyer husband won't leave her maybe don't have them.[/quote]

Plenty of rich lawyers buy their kids Land’s End and LL Bean. In fact, those brands are popular among that set and their backpacks cost more than a Jansport. [/quote]

We’re talking about middle school girls. [b] Why would parents be choosing their backpacks? [/b]  My 7th grader chose a Lululemon backpack, black with small black logo so you can’t see it.  Not something I would choose but I’m not carrying it. When her friends come over they dump their backpacks and I wouldn’t have any idea where they all got there’s.  I think anything goes with backpacks, they all have different taste.   [/quote]

I took my teen to LL Bean and said "pick a backpack large enough to fit your stuff" and she picked out a pretty mint green backpack. We're not made of money, my kids don't get a new bag every year and they're not buying whatever brand is popular at any given timer. That's just now how we operate, and it's never been an issue. I guess I've done a good job not raising materialistic brand obsessed kids.[/quote]

She picked her own style backpack, you just picked the store so it’s not about you.

I looked online just googled kids backpacks and they all look the same. I couldn’t tell what company each of them was from.   It’s the colors and designs that are different.   [/quote]
I don't know what you're talking about but PP said parents shouldn't be choosing their kids backpack and I was responding that I picked the store and my kid picked the backpack. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that - LL Bean has a good warranty (although not as good as it used to be) and the products are good quality. I know it will last a long time. And my kid has been happy with her backpack for years, so I don't know why I'm being criticized. No, LL Bean is not the height of fashion, but my kid doesn't care.[/quote]

You’re not being criticized [/quote]
