The North Face Swerve Backpack - Youth - 850cu in

The North Face Swerve Backpack - Youth - 850cu in description

The North Face gave the Kids' Swerve Backpack youth-specific straps with extra squish for comfort on long school days. This pack's large main compartment holds your kids' binders and science books, but won't drag them down. The Swerve Backpack features an internal organizer, so your young student won't lose his pens and student ID card in the depths of his book bag. Side mesh pockets let him carry a drink and a snack within easy reach, and the large mesh pocket fits a few folders or an extra notebook. The Swerve pack's reflective details help your kid stay visible when she rides her bike to a friend's house after sundown.

Bottom Line: The North Face Swerve Backpack gets your kids to school comfortably and lets them bring everything they need.

This backpack advertises that it is large enough for the average school child. it ain't! it is a good quality, though!

This finally arrived and is PERFECT for my first grader. The straps are about 2 inches across and the length hits right above his behind. Though it is wide enough it BARELY accommodates the height of his two notebooks though and is kind of "dog earing" them. I don't imagine it will work for him after elementary though as it is WAY too small for the books, supplies and other stuff you need after K-6 is complete.
