The buckle on the front keeps everything secure, and at 18 inches, it’s roomy enough for my daughter’s binders and lunch without looking bulky on her back. We grabbed the two-color pack so she could switch things up, and both hold up great after a month of daily use.

Grabbed these for my daughter’s middle school year, and the mesh front pocket is perfect for shoving a water bottle or a quick granola bar without unzipping the whole bag. The 18-inch size holds her binder and lunchbox with room to spare, and the buckle adds a nice touch so it doesn’t flop open. She

The front mesh pocket is perfect for shoving a water bottle or small art project without digging through the main compartment, and the buckle strap keeps everything anchored. Bought the two-color assortment for my daughters and it's held up through a month of daily school use and bus rides.
