I need a backpack bad. We are about to travel and mine is fraying at the straps - just won't make it another trip. I'd like it to be "pretty" but mostly I don't want it to be cheapy material. I went to Target to see the 5 backpacks they offered in my store and most of the Jansport were big enough but the material felt like a windbreaker. I just can't see that lasting very long with a kid, being shoved in and out of a car, airplane, under the seat, etc. And those were 30 bucks for those!
I'd love to hear your recs with links if you have them

I leave in a week so I need it fast!
Thanks ladies!
Re: NSAIFR: Rec your large backpack under 75 bucks
splurge on something from REI, or check their outlet for closeouts.
We've taken ours around the world and back again, and not even a stitch is loose. The brand escapes me at the moment, but they're all black, and their logo has a worldglobe on it, I believe? not cheap, but worth every penny.

Find a super nice one that you like....
THEN go get it off ebay for half price.
Voila.... good quality.... great price.
