We did our homework and the results are in. The Lands End Kids Classmate Backpack is better than ever and far superior to the competition. Unlike flimsy other backpacks our Kids Classmate bookbag is extra-durable and built to last school year after school year. This is the perfect back pack for school to get your children through Kindergarten and all the way into those well-planned-for college years and everywhere in between. The sturdy side mesh pockets hold a full-size water bottle and the convenient front loops are ideal for clipping a lunchbox or keys to free-up space inside.
