Love these. I think mine from high school & college is still up in the attic. I guess it's too big for my Kindergartner

Both kids have MadPax. One transhed his in 2 years and needed a replacement. The other kid has had the same backpack for four years and it's in good shape.

My son will be starting 3rd grade and has had his Pottery Barn kids backpack for 3 solid years. It still looks almost new!

Both kids have North Face backpacks and they last years. They don't seem to wear out, they get dirty, but don't tear or fall apart.

LL Bean. My son outgrew the junior one after 3 yrs so now he had the regular one. He still uses the junior one for sleepoves, plane trips etc. Still looks new!

Does TUMI make any for kids? I think those are very durable.

Ds had a garnet hill backpack for 4 years. It still looked great, but he outgrew the print.

Then he had a ful backpack from target that lasted 2 years and is now on its last leg.

My 3rd grader is finishing up his 3rd year with his Lands End backpack, and it's still in great shape for next year.

We purchased a Eddie Bauer bag for our son, paid a little more for it, but he's been using it for 3 years and it's still in the same shape as the day we bought it... Even better, it's guaranteed for life!!!
