Review on πŸŽ’ Everyday Backpack - World New York Edition by Jack Malloy

Revainrating 1 out of 5

TO UPDATE. Breaks down in less than 3 months

I am 11 years old and in sixth grade and ended up having to take a backpack on wheels because our lockers are too far away and I have to carry everything around with me all day. What I like best: (1) I really like the different compartments - they are big and you can put a lot of things in them. (2) Rolling works very well - easy to control. (3) Sturdy handle is easy to raise and lower. (4) I like my color. It's black with blue colors (5), I've had it for three months now and all the zippers still work very well. (6) I like that the shoulder straps don't get caught in the wheels. There are some other brands where the straps just get in the way or even drag on the floor. Here are the things I'm not thrilled about: (1) It's big, but my stuff is still packed so I wish it was a little bigger. (2) it's hard. The weight makes it stronger, but it's very heavy to lift, so you'll never be able to carry it as a shoulder bag if it's filled with books at all. (3) You have to be careful with the balance, because if he stands alone, he can tip over a bit. (4) The handle wears out a little. I know it's because the backpack is so heavy and difficult to get in and out of the back of the van, but it's just fabric, the same material that the backpack is made of, and I'm worried that he's torn apart by being questioned so much. Overall I am very happy with this backpack. My twin brother has the same model but in a different color. We're both very glad we have this and we don't have to become hunchbacks carrying all the heavy things we used to do in the backpacks we used to carry on their shoulders. This one was a bit more expensive than some of the other brands but not as expensive as the high end ones so my mom is very happy with it and so are we. It costs extra money. UPDATE: We bought two - one for each of our twins. In less than 3 months the grip on one of them is loosening and wobbling and the other is loosening. Since more than 30 days have passed, we cannot receive a refund. Revane sends two more. It seems to me that this is just a poor quality product, not that we "just happened to get two bad ones". I will update again but if I had to do it again I would spend more money for something that will last. This costs more in the beginning, but saves time and money in the long run.

Pros
  • Organizer - one place for everything with 2 large compartments, 3 exterior zipped pockets, 2 mesh pockets, plus interior pockets, key clip and pen/card slots to keep small items safe
Cons
  • Some difficulties
