LLBean is the backpack guru. They guarantee their products for LIFE! Hole in the product - no problem send it back and get a new one for FREE. Zipper that breaks - No issue there, again send it back! I have a backpack that is over 20 years old and its worn out on the bottom and one of the zippers gets stuck. I called customer service, they said send it back and they would issue a new one for free!The Bus Driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259280794473075615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734712521038551440.post-14391985818962816012014-05-22T20:51:39.188-04:002014-05-22T20:51:39.188-04:00This just so made my day.

My middle child in Kindergarten is carrying her Pre-school backpack right now because I REFUSE to by a new one with 1 month to go and he one she has carried all year completely fell apart. My son has holes in the shoes and the oldest is squinching up her toes. We will persevere! Only one more month!!<br /><br />Love your blog!
