[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We bought a cheap backpack from Disney store and it fell apart right away!  So I splurged just a bit for LL Bean and it's lasted two years.  I figure we'll keep it one more year and then get a new, bigger one for her last 3 years at ES.

I don't think anyone really cares what young kids are wearing.  As they get older, they'll care more.  Save your money for the middle school/high school years when there is more pressure to look a certain way.  I knew when I moved into a wealthy HS boundary that I'd have to increase the clothing budget for my daughter.  She'll have enough battles to fight in her life; I don't want feeling like an outsider because of her clothes to be one of them.[/quote]

I STILL have my LL Bean backpack from high school. It's over 20 years old and looks great! I am a minimalist and almost nothing survives in my house if it doesn't remain useful. My DH uses the backpack for taking stuff to work sometimes and we use it on hikes now and then. [/quote]
