Reviews around bag (4.51 of 5)

  • However, within 3 months of ownership my daughter showed me that the loop on top of the bag, the one you would use the hang the bag up on a hook has completely come undone
  • Overall, a great bag and plenty of room for any student.
  • I don't recommend stuffing this bag, and most definitely don't put all your textbooks in it.
  • Only issue is the zippers are only a 3/5, but otherwise the bag is great.
  • The entire bag looks like it will fall apart after the first use.

  • My son loves the design, for whatever reason this design was cheaper than the others.

  • But this year, this is his 3rd one... they have to carry around all their things in 4th grade so this will keep his computer separated from everything else as well as keeping his school stuff organized

  • Worked great for my senior year of high school, and all throughout summer (used it for sleepovers, camping, road trips, etc), but three days before my college classes started the left strap broke
  • cupcakes are so cute, and I get compliments everywherewhen a strap broke, JanSport replaced it free of charge
  • But this year, this is his 3rd one... they have to carry around all their things in 4th grade so this will keep his computer separated from everything else as well as keeping his school stuff organized

Reviews around day (2.23 of 5)

  • Usually love JanSport, but this one's side mesh pocket ripped the first day
  • And the handle broke the day after I got it.
  • The strap broke two days after I bought it
  • This is for my 8 year old son and he usually packs it full and definitely is not gentle with it and it still looks just as good as the day we got

  • The zippers are constantly getting jammed in the backpack fabric.
  • the zipper to the main compartment broke off the first day she took it to school
  • This was a gift for my son and within two weeks of carrying, the top strap completely broke and the zipper on the front pocket broke as well.

Reviews around bite (1.38 of 5)

  • I hate when there’s no side pocket and her water bottle is just thrown in haphazardly with school work as even the most secure water bottles have the tendency to leak a bit.
  • I do wish that the front small pocket was just a tiny bit larger, but other than that, absolutely no complaints!
  • A bit stiff material but may soften up with time.
  • I'm a little surprised by the inner white material; it's a bit thinner and cheaper than I expected
  • Little bit darker than in the picture ( the plain blue) also many pockets used to have the same one but in a different
