Fenrici Galaxy Backpack for Girls, Boys, Kids, Teens, 18" Durable Book Bags for Kindergarten, Elementary, Middle School Students, Standard Large Size

I have had it for 5 years. Still works the same!

The backpack appears to be good quality. The fabric and material and even the zipper seem sturdy. However, after 6 months the zipper broke because it became unsewn on one side and the zipper fell off. I tried to fix it, but I couldn't. I contacted the seller and they solved the problem quickly on a Saturday morning. GREAT customer service.

I typically don't write a review but this item is really nice and durable. I was surprised about the quality. It is better than the backpacks at Target or Walmart. Typically I went through a couple of them since most of the time the straps did not hold that well but mainly because the side pockets for the water bottle ripped. My daughter is 8 years old and very tall. She wears shirt size 10-12. The Medium is a perfect size and if you hesitate...don't. You get a very great backpack for this money. I can only imagine how well made the lunchbox from them must be but $24.99 for the lunch box alone is just a bit too much for me. Ok. I hope this helps.

Second update. Great product. Using for third school year in a row. Still works great. No blemishes. Will purchase from manufacturer again. Happy mom and kiddo.Update. Backpack is in perfect condition and we are able to use for another school year. Would highly recommend, very durable product!!!9yo daughter LOVES design. Half way through school year and still looks and works great. May be able to use again next year. Win, win for all!!

So far so good. 3 months into the school year and it’s holding up well. No signs of discoloring or wear and tear. Fits everything my 5th grader needs. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is that it’s kind of heavy even before we filled it. Maybe it’s the many pockets in the front? We definitely don’t use the majority of them. So if they could be nixed to save weight that’d be great.

The backpack is a sturdy material and well made. The zippers are strong and operate very smoothly. No snagging or worry of zippers breaking as they often do with kids backpacks and the stress kids put them through. Very happy with it.

My 8-year-old daughter is really excited to replace her old backpack with a stylish new one in an "awesome" galaxy theme (Faith). We ordered the intermediate, which is still pretty big for a petite 8 y.o. girl, but little kid backpacks are too small for her. There are lots of interior packets, a very sturdy grab handle, and the zippers seem sturdy and well made. This backpack is a great value. AND on top of that all, a portion of the proceeds support kids with rare diseases.

Update: (2024)6 years later and this amazing backpack has been very good to my daughter who is now 12!Unfortunately the zipper busted and we will need to get a new one. My daughter loves this one so much I think I may just get her the same one again!My 6 year old loved it! Big enough but not too big. The compartments are functional and the cup holder a plus. (2018)
