Kids backpacks

[disneysteve]

Does anyone know if Jansport/ll bean replace backpacks bought on ebay? or do you need a reciept?

You do not need a receipt at LL Bean. We did not have a receipt when we made the return recently.

I bought a packback at Eddie Bauer when I was in college in the late 1980's. That thing is a rock. I use it to this day. Looks like new, not a stitch loose. My kid's backpacks fall apart before the end of the year. I usually just buy cheap because they are still at the age of wanting the "cool" thing like Spongebob or whatever. However, now that they are getting older, they don't seem so concerned and I am more inclined to get a better backpack

Yeah llbean is by far the best way to go for a backpack. I used to rip up my backpacks by the end of the year. So when I was a sophomore we decided to get an llbean. The back doesn't have a single rip and is sturdy as stone. Just in case it ever does rip, I saved the return form that they give you when you buy it. From what I've heard, they replace it no questions asked.

So I looked online at LLBean and the smallest backpack they have says for kids ages 7 and up. Does anyone have an opinion as to whether that particular bag would be too big for a 4 year old? His little cheapie spiderman bag is falling apart day by day.

This one is meant for 4 and up:

Or you could look here:

$19 is a bit much for a 4-year-old's backpack IMO. Of course, you can always hand it down to younger kids if you have more, or sell it on ebay if you don't.

Thank you! I need anything that'll take a beating. This'll do wonders.
