Update Aug 2013: my son has now had this backpack for 1st and 2nd grade at school and is now entering into 3rd grade and will still have the same backpack! He loves it and it has held up extremely well. When it eventually does need to be replaced, I'm going to buy the same one. It is a nice looking backpack and holds everything it needs to. I couldn't have been happier with this purchase.

I bought this for my 7 year old for school. It has been sturdy and good quality. It is a little too large for him, but next year it should fit him perfectly. Lots of room and pockets for all his books, snacks, gloves, etc and it has a water bottle net holder on the side. Great backpack!
