Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had high hopes for this backpack after reading reviews, but it didn't last an entire school year. My daughter is in 2nd grade and not especially hard on things and doesn't carry much in her backpack. This backpack started to develop small holes in the bottom after about 4-5 months. The holes were tiny enough that nothing was falling through, but they got bigger. They're now big enough that pencils and pens will slide right out. I was able to 'fix' it with black duct tape and that will hold her over until the end of school next month, but I wouldn't order again. ETA - Several days after submitting this review the seller sent me an email asking me to give them a 4-star or higher rating or delete my review all together in exchange for $4. Incredibly shady business tactic, in my opinion. Basically they want to deceive future buyers. Not only am I not going to take the $4, I'm going to decrease my rating from 3-stars down to 2-stars.
