DD currently has a Land's End Tiny Take backpack. But she's constantly complaining it doesn't fit her stuff at school, that it's too hard to put her folder in (and it is kind of a PITA, I'll admit that), etc. Today is their school play with a party after for the parents, and so her teacher wanted to make sure that her classroom was clean--so she had DD put everything from her cubby into her backpack. Well, DD's backpack was stuffed to the brim! I don't know, honestly, if even with a bigger backpack she will put her stuff into her backpack. Right now she just puts it in her cubby because it's "too hard" to put in her backpack... and then it builds up to a massive pile and finally the teacher helps her pack it all up and bring it home.
SO I've decided to get her a new backpack to use for the rest of this year and next year. The tiny take backpack is small, but also, hers is light blue and I can't believe how grungy the fabric has gotten! I machine wash that and her lunch box probably once a month, and yet they're SO dirty looking. Which is why I'm not certain if I should go with another Lands End bag, or an LL Bean bag (which I had when I was in school and remember the material being thicker/stronger and easier to wash).
Which bag would you choose? The LL Bean bag is wider, but otherwise the dimensions are the same.
