Sesame Street: Elmo Small Backpack
I bought this backpack for our 20 month old son, and he loves it! We hang it from the stroller and use it as his "diaper bag" for now, but as soon as he starts preschool, it's going with him. The backpack has definitely turned a few toddlers' heads on the playground.

This is such a cute backpack for my toddler son. He is just starting preschool and he looks like such the big boy. The quality is pretty nice and I like the outer zippered compartments.Read Best Reviews of Sesame Street: Elmo Small Backpack Here
My toddler started pre-k last fall and It was hard finding a backpack that could hold his school item and still be small enough for his little body. He loves Elmo, so this backpack was a great buy. Its very durable and is still intact. I would buy this item again.Want Sesame Street: Elmo Small Backpack Discount?
Came in great condition and was the perfect size for my 21 month old son. He absolutely loves it. Totally recommend this.
Quality Ogio Backpack 15.6" By Kenneth Cole
I'm a backpack junkie. Have at least 6, and always looking for a better one. The Orgio is the best one I have ever had.The one open pocket in the front is the best part. Holds your airline ticket, passport, newspaper, magazine whatever, without having to
unzip anything. Plenty of pockets. Also use it for the gym daily. Should have two.
Dakine 28-Litre Quest Pack (Black, 19.5 x 12.5 x 9-Inch)
I have spent a lot of time (over a month) researching camera daypacks and from all that I gathered, this is the most complete camera daypack available. Unfortunately it still isn't perfect, but as you will see all over the internet, no camera bag is. To me it seems like camera bag manufacturers are trying to create both "pro" camera bags and walk around bags in the same bag, and it just isn't working. A walk around bag doesn't need to be super deep or hold an entire collection of lenses, and it would benefit from common "regular" backpack amenities such as extra pockets or even separate places to put pens. I'll break down all this bag has to offer and where it falls short as I see it.-Look --
This bag looks great. Especially compared to the Lowepro Fastpacks (similarly designed) which just scream camera backpack to me. This bag looks like a somewhat average backpack. I'm 5'9" and when starting at the top of my neck it ends just above my waistline. It is a bit deep (9") for my liking, but I get the sense that most camera backpacks are these days.
-Comfort --
The bag is very comfortable when lightly packed. The more weight you add exponentially makes it less comfortable due to its size. The straps are padded nicely but once enough weight is added the hard edges of the straps begin to dig in and cause discomfort.
-Regular Compartments --
The laptop compartment will hold a 17" macbook pro (15.5" x 10.5") without having it protrude from the top as would be expected. Most 15.4" laptop PCs are about this same size so they should fit as well as long as they are not more than an inch thick. The laptop compartment has a lightly padded sleeve built in for the laptop as well as room outside the sleeve for other things (this will help keep spiral notebooks off your computer). There is also a small zippered pouch on the opposite side of the laptop sleeve which is relatively small but could possibly hold a power cords or extra accessories.
The front-top compartment has a couple little pockets, a large pocket, and a small zippered mesh pocket as well as a card holder. This area is great for small notebooks, or possibly an iPad mini, as well as zip drives and other knick knacks. There are no pen pockets but I just clipped mine onto the main pocket and it worked just as well.
In front of this compartment is a small felt lined pocket for valuables. It's not really big so I don't believe many sunglasses will fit but iPods, phones and other small valuables can be put here.
The rear-top compartment is the largest of the regular compartments. This one is very spacious and able to hold a couple sweaters or a few bottles of water and lunch. There are no extra pockets inside this one.
-Camera Compartment --
The camera compartment is okay, not great. It's pitfall is the dividers, the side opening, and the material used. The dividers are well built but poorly designed. They, along with the whole camera section, lack enough velcro to really customize the layout of your camera space. This would have been fixed if they just lined the entire inside with that felt material most other bag companies use instead of nylon. Also they are a little long, forcing the back of your camera to slightly protrude from the container. You could probably make your own dividers or find extras, which could help alleviate this problem, but for $200 I would expect more. The entire compartment is a pod that is (not easily) removable and built with hard plastic instead of padding for the walls. This makes the backpack unable to fold in and really hug your equipment to prevent it shifting around due to the compartment's depth. The whole thing seems pretty strong however and very protective, just not what I was hoping for.
Although I do not have a 70-200mm lens to test with, there seems to be enough room to fit one inside along with other smaller lenses or accessories.
The side entrance is nice but not the easiest to get into. There is an extra flap inside that was probably meant as extra protection, but seems to just get in the way. A gripped camera will not fit through the side entrance. This wouldn't bother me much except for the fact that they decided to make the camera compartment very deep (9 inches). If the side entrance wont fit a gripped camera then why make the compartment deep enough for one? I guess you could fit more lenses by turning them facing out, but since I am only looking for a daypack, I wouldn't be carrying my entire collection and this makes the backpack stick out a little far causing discomfort (explained under 'Comfort') while carrying it fully loaded. There are also small pockets on the inside of the main flap which are somewhat tight for filters or memory cards but should do the job.
-Extra Features --
The side opposite of the camera side-entrance has a hidden bottle holder zipped away. This is a really nice feature since most bottle holders (in my opinion) ruin the appearance of backpacks.
Beside the bottle holder is a very nice tripod system. There is a small zippered pocket above this that contains the strap to secure the tripod to the backpack. This is great for light tripods or monopods but anything heavier or larger greatly offsets the bag creating more discomfort. Luckily this is a snowboarding backpack so the 2 snowboard straps across the front of the backpack can also be used to carry the heavier tripods and avoid awkward weight distribution.
The backpack also comes with a deployable rain cover that is not attached. I like that it isn't so that you can stow it away easier or replace it if its damaged.
The waist strap is removable and comfortable. Although it is very stiff, once it's broken in and more pliable this becomes a great feature for the backpack. It also has a chest strap which is nice. The top snowboard strap and tripod strap are both able to be hidden.
Also as long as the camera compartment pod is inserted, the bag will stand up on it's own.
-Conclusion --
In the end I give it 3 stars because of its lack of customization, its discomfort even when not fully packed, and its unnecessarily deep camera compartment. This is not a bad backpack, nor is it poorly made. If you are still unsure if this is the pack for you I suggest you try it for yourself and then decide.

Hello Kitty Large Duffle Bag
I'm a 23 year old student who does on-call overnights for my internship, so I needed a bag that I can pack a ton of stuff in without worrying about it. This works great so far. The canvas is on the lighter side and definitely won't be the best for weather, but for a change of clothes and some contact stuff and makeup, it'll work great. It's nice and big! Would even be a great diaper bag if needed because it's got the side pockets and zips closed to protect your items.Seems to be pretty secure and I love te fuzzy HK patch on the front. :]
Sumdex Fashion Place 15" Backpack
I bought this backpack for school and upon receipt realized that, yes, it is sturdy and well built for carrying a leptop, but not large enough to carry any books with the laptop. I like the bag overall and have resorted to carrying my books in my arms instead of ina bag. If you don't have a need to carry around much else than your laptop, a folder, and a notebook, this bag is perfect. If you need to carry your books around keep searching.
JanSport Covert Backpack (Pink Prep Hippy Skip)
When I was looking for a backpack for my midleschooler I asked her what did she need to fit in there and she listed:one 15" 17" laptop;
two big two ring binders;
1-2 textbooks (the science and math books are really big);
pencil case;
snack box;
water bottle;
possibly PE clothes or any way a change but I begged her not to pretend to also fit the PE shoes in there.
I any way was a little skeptical I would ever be able to find any thing as big as she wanted it to be and when I was reading specifications of this backpack I was happy but, as I said before, also a little skeptical. Well, it arrived and since still in the box it really looked big, much bigger then it looked on the web.
It fits all!! I was very happy. Two weeks have passed only since my daughter is using it but she is telling me daily how much she likes it.
It has enough space for all she needs to fit in there.
It has many compartments;
Even the pockets are big enough and with enough separations to contain many different stuff.
Padded enough, the computer sleeve but also the back part (I probably would have preferred a bit more padding there but my daughter doesn't agree. She said more padding make the bag look more voluminous;
One of the things we like a lot is the way the straps in the back allow for it to be also hanged in hooks at school or elsewhere;
The color and design is really beautiful (blue + turquoise + black squares, like Scottish pattern);
It is so nice that she decided to take this as hand baggage in trips. I am really happy with this item.
When I saw this backpack I noticed it fitted more than my mesh backpack while still looking slick and it had a laptop compartment so I ordered it thru Amazon. It just arrived and I was eager to try it.
My first complain is that the backpack arrived with a cut on the side, so it was already damaged. I then proceeded to load it with what I would normally load it with: laptop, camera, lenses, and notebook. To my surprise the material of the backpack is super cheap, and not of good quality. Additionally, the strap on the top put a ton of pressure on your neck so that the weight of the stuff in your backpack doesn't rest on your shoulder but your neck.
That said, I'm returning this backpack ASAP.
:( Bad, bad Jansport.

Ogio Hamptons Women's Tote
I really want to like this tote. It is absolutely perfect EXCEPT for the fact that it doesn't actually fit a 15" laptop. I have the newest macbook pro and with the way the tote is structured to taper at the bottom, there isn't a way to get it into the sleeve horizontally. If you put the computer in vertically, about 4 inches stick out above the padding, making it pretty unusable protection-wise.This would be a good tote for a 13" laptop or smaller.

I really like this bag. I bought it to use for work and it comfortably fits my laptop, notebook, folder, water bottle, and other miscellaneous small items like pens, keys, sunglasses, etc. I have already received lots of compliments on it from colleagues! However, I would note that the polka dot lining inside the bag is also visible on the underside of the straps. Additionally, I haven't found a good use for the little side flap pockets. Too small for a phone. Otherwise, love it!Want Ogio Hamptons Women's Tote Discount?

I like the appearance of this book bag for my son. In terms of quality, this book bag is a piece of garbage. At this point the book bag & lunch bag are completely unusable. Lunch bag was never used opened & closed maybe once, zipper came off track. My son had his first day of school yesterday, used book bag once, went to pick him up, both zippers are now off track & can't be repaired. For the book bags marketing age range, you would think this would be made a more durable. Mind you, no textbooks, just a folder and a small book were inside. Save your money & put it towards something with better quality. Quite disappointed.

Yens® Fantasybag "Cross" Laptop Mono Strap Backpack-Royal Blue, 3BP-12
I bought this bag to use as a pseudo-diaper bag for flying with my toddler. It holds a lot! I was able to fit snacks, 2 sets of headphones, wipes, pull ups, outfit, Google Nexus 10 tablet, and medicine for the trip. It is easy to open and get things out without taking the bag off. It seems to be pretty sturdy to hold all the stuff I need. Works well for how I intend to use it!

My daughter got this for school. Her binders and notebooks fit more comfortably that most slings, but it's not a huge bag. Water bottle holder comfortably holds a very large bottle. Padding makes it pretty comfortable to wear. Bag is NOT waterproof and she ruined a bunch of notebooks in the rain last week. Lesson learned we've now put a 2 gallon ziplock bag inside to keep her supplies dry.For the price, I am happy with the bag. It doesn't feel super strong, so I suspect it will be ruined in 8-9 months, as are most of her school backpacks.

Deuter Race X Air w/2L Res. Hydration Pack
I just logged into amazon to see if they still make this bag so I can buy one for my brother who is getting a bike for his 40th birthday. Yup they do. This is a great bag. The mesh back has no comparison.Not only does it keep me cool, but I no longer warm my water through my body heat as I did with my cannondale and camelback. The quality is there too. While my mountainbike is trashed, the bag still looks fine, if a little soiled. My only comment would be to make sure you don't need the larger size of the Race EXP instead. While the Race X is very sleek, it only has room for a jacket and maybe a pair of flipflops in the main compartment when it's full of water.
Also, I must add that the Dueter water bladder is the best I've ever used. I love that the top completely opens and the mouth piece is easily taken apart to clean. Has never leaked. Really great.

My husband hiked 28 miles in one day with this on his back, and loved the amount of storage and the weight. He can't stand a sweaty, overheated back, and the construction of this pack kept his back nice and cool. Also, have successfully used the rain fly to keep our stuff nice and dry. The hydration pack insert is easier to fill than the camelback, but the part that goes in your mouth is slightly harder to clean, as it has a spring and small parts that have to be disassembled.Read Best Reviews of Deuter Race X Air w/2L Res.

Electric Recoil Backpack
So far I've had this bag for a little over a year...and I'll be ordering another just so I have one as backup for the future. The bag is made out of a high quality, durable canvas material that has definitely been tested by me over the past year. It's got easily accessible compartments, an amazing padded laptop section, and a sunglasses case as a bonus. There is literally nothing that could be better about this backpack. And on top of the durability it's comfortable and stylish. I ride my bike wearing this bag with ease and comfort. Would highly recommend this backpack for anyone.

Lowepro Fastpack 350-Red
I bought this particular backpack for several reasons. I like to have a bag/back pack that can hold both my computer and gears and my photography gears. I have looked into several models which can be really expensive. Since the main purpose of this back pack is to transport my equipment during travel (air plane), I though this would be a good choice. When I received the backpack, the first impression was it is huge!!! Yes, it is but it will fit the space on the airplane (carry on) with everything loaded. However, it may be slightly high (tall) and can be difficult to place under the seat in front of you for the small jets (regional jet). In addition, it can handle a 17" wide screen lab top easily.The construction of the back pack is good quality and there are ample space to put the equipment. However, it is a little difficult to use this backpack to carry any letter size document without using the computer compartment. Hence, you will not be able to carry lots of document and might need to carry a portfolio on the side.
The packpack as designed will be able to be sling and open the zipper to get the camera. I tried this and it does work nicely. It is comfortable to carry with a full load all day.
Overall it is an excellent designed pack pack for computer and photography equipment transporter. It is bulky but possibly required for the type of equipment it will house. One thing that I had not tested is whether it is rain proof.
Buy Lowepro Fastpack 350-Red Now
A great bag. Compact for its size, I can carry my D-200 with 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, 18-55mm f/2.8 lens and flash in the lower section. Upper section has plenty of room for my KATA raincover, windbreaker and pullover cap, which is accessable with ease. This is extremely handy, especially when the weather takes a turn during football games.My 15-inch laptop fits in the side pouch with no problem. All that gear can be heavy, but shoulder straps are padded and The hip and sternum straps help to distribute the weight correctly.
Unlike other combo bags that I've owned, which were much wider, this Fastpack 350 is compact and should be no problem being a carry-on for taking along on plane trips. I highly recommend this bag.

I have had this bag for only a day now and I have to say it's awesome. it's camera gear compartment fits my current EOS 40D with Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras attached plus my Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras, my 430EX flashgun and two more lenses.It's comfortable to carry and walk around in, but it does get a bit uncomfortable when you have the laptop with you during long walks, but I guess that is to be expected with such backpacks.
It may not be everyone's cup of tea, especially for Photographers who want to carry a lot of gear around. But I also like the easy camera side access, which for me was this bag's selling point. I can reach in and pull out my 40D with complete ease.
Great bag if you're considering it and you have about the same gear I do.

EnteraLite Infinity Mini Backpack for EnteraLite Feeding Pumps
These back packs are cheaply made and do not stand up to the intensive use required for my son who is a very active toddler , even with his special needs and we take it out and about with us on walks, visits, and it gets thrown around the play area by him while hes playing, The seams start to pull and fray very quickly and the zips are really cheap and catch easily and break really quickly. They are cheap, likely made in China and the medical companies are charging a fortune for them. Please can they be more hard wearing and durable. They need to be able to be put through the washing machine on a weekly basis too as they get really stinky with dribbles of milk on them too and general dirt over time. Please help. I am so frustrated by the poor quality of them, Fins Mum.

This backpack is cute. It holds the pump and feeding bag well but there are some serious issues with durability. The zippers and fabric usualy last 6-8 months then we are holding the thing together with safety pins. Very irritating! You would think for the price they could make that better. It is an esential part of the feeding system for an active child on a feeding pump and allows my son to interact with the world instead of being hooked up to a pole. My son is fed for 18 hours a day. However, I would really like them to work on the durability. The seller shipped promptly and in good conditionRead Best Reviews of EnteraLite Infinity Mini Backpack for EnteraLite Feeding Pumps Here
If you or your child has a feeding tube and is fed with the zevex infinity pump, then this backpack is a must have. Check with your insurance to see if they cover the cost as mine did. The backpack made life much easier for our family as my baby was on continuous feeds for quite some time. We were able to go anywhere and not worry about an iv pole to drag around.The straps are nicely padded, and the bag itself was the perfect size for me. This bag would be too big for a toddler under 3 to wear in my opinion (especially if your child has a low body weight). If you are looking for a backpack for your toddler or young child to wear themselves, then I would get the EnteraLite Infinity Super-Mini Backpack.
It is worth the money if your insurance company won't cover it.

Nuo Chloe Dao 14" Laptop Attache
I ordered this bag for my new 14" Asus because orange is my favorite color and I love international-looking patterns, so it was a win-win for me. It arrived in good time and looks exactly like the picture. When I got it, I felt like it looked a little cheaper than it had looked online, but I went back and looked again and there was no mistaking it was exactly what I had ordered. The fabric is a relatively sturdy canvas, and I hope it will be easy to clean since there is a lot of white on it. One of my favorite things is that the shoulder strap has a nice, very comfortable mesh padding and doesn't get twisted like a lot of others do. I'm sure it helps that my computer is sooo lightweight. When I zip up the top of the bag, it is pretty tight at the corners of my laptop--at first I wondered if I should have ordered a 15" instead, but mine just barely fits. My particular laptop model is very thin because it does not have a built-in CD/DVD drive, so I'm not sure if having those features would make a difference in the fit. Because the bag is very lightweight, there isn't a ton of extra storage space, but the front pocket has enough room for me to pack the cord, a mini-mouse, and, if I pack really efficiently, my Nook touch with its charger, so there is plenty of space. There are two smaller pockets within the main zippered one, plus space to hang two pens. I've been using it for a little less than a month now, and it's definitely a keeper for me.
