I like a backpack that my son can’t rip a strap off of or break the zipper.

I like a backpack that is heavy duty and will last a long time and keep my laptop well cushioned. I also like backpacks that are zippered and will keep my valuables safe from pick pockets.
I look for quality but my daughter has to have a certain backpack, design, color, etc.
I look for durabilty and a good zipper since that is what my daughter seems to break first every time.

Cost has always been the biggest issue but now that we’ve gone through a couple with my 1st grader beginning to realize that quality should take top billing.
