[quote=Anonymous]Interesting thread. I can't recall what I used before middle school. In middle school, I got a new, cheap backpack / tote whenever the old one wore out. Something like the ubiquitous Esprit tote or Benetton bucket bag. In 9th grade, I got a basic Jansport and used it all through HS. For a graduation present, I got an Eddie Bauer backpack that I used all through college & grad school (still have it 21 years later). When I was doing my PhD and commuting by Metro, I got a big, huge, more ergonomic Jansport with a laptop sleeve. I try to be pretty minimalist, and choose quality and practicality over novelty. DS is only a toddler, but we got the LLBean junior backpack as his diaper bag and hope it takes him through 3rd grade. We have a new LLBean stashed away in the next size up that I assume will take him through middle school. I'm sure there will be a sport bag or something else in there at some point. [/quote]
