" ... Great material and compact but spacious at the same time. ... "
" ... The side pockets are somewhat small, since they use up the inside space of the backpack, but anything from sunglasses, a phone, or even an umbrella or your laptop charger can be put in those two side pockets in no time or effort!! ... "
" ... Many people said that the bag was smaller than expected but honestly this bag is the perfect size for me. ... I can fit a small laptop and all of my school supplies plus plenty of other small items in the front pouch. ... "
" ... Well-made, sturdy, seems like it will last a very long time, but quite a bit smaller than the average American backpack, so, if you are buying this for your kid, pay close attention to dimensions. ... None of that seems likely to happen with this bag. ... "
" ... The backpack size isn’t you’re average backpack size, it looks smaller, but can hold a decent amount. ... We use this as a diaper bag and can fit everything we need. ... "
" ... This bag is amazing! ... It is so simple but durable and holds so much more than my backpacks that are larger in size. ... "
" ... Wish side pockets were wider for her water bottle. ... "

" ... It holds everything I need! ... "
" ... As far as practicality, the backpack is big enough to fit my 13 in laptop in the inner sleeve, but anything bigger probably won’t be able to fit back there. ... Also the water bottle cubby on the side is a bit small but will fit a standard size water bottle (big enough to fit one of the fancy Voss bottles all the kids on ig take pics with). ... "
" ... I can fit my computer ( macbook pro), A waterbottle ( camelback), wallet, camera, and books in here with ease. ... "
" ... It fits my 15 inch MacBook perfectly with room for a couple books. ... "

" ... We use them year after year, no buying new ones. ... "
