[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]personally, I prefer to get 1 backpack per year per kid at Target for $15, and then throw it away, because it is so filthy and the kid is so done with it.[/quote]

Curious, when are you buying that you get them for $15?  I've seen them for $30 and up.  Even during back to school last year I never saw them that low.  Which brand are you buying?  Are your kids able to fit books, lunch, boots, snow gear etc... into it and not have it rip open?  I'm not being snarky.  I'm curious.  My kids take lunch daily with nice sized lunchboxes that take up a lot of space.  Plus cubbies at my DD's school are smallllllllllll and shared with another student.  She has to be able to keep her stuff in her backpack or it all gets mixed together and lost immediately.[/quote]

I just throw the kids' backpacks in a gentle wash cycle now and then. A little oxyclean additive and they come out looking truly great.  Going on year 3 with the Lands End backpack, and it happens to be my favorite one, too--it's gone to school, hiking, camping, tooling around town, to sleepovers, on raft trips, you name it.  The pouches and loops and elastic bunjie cords are great for holding and attaching all kinds of stuff.[/quote]
