I’ve used this bag as my unconventional baby bag for 5 years! It’s been through 2 kids. I bought this bag with intention that I could still use it as a normal bag afterwards. It has been one of my best investments, hands down. All the pockets it contains and space it has inside is none like anything else. The amount of times I’ve bent down to attend to my toddlers wearing this back pack knowing their drink bottles won’t come out because of the harness straps, or the fact that everything I had neatly organised in the pockets and space in the bag would stay intact in its place! No matter how many times I jumped or danced with my kids it never got mixed up. I always used the top pocket on the flap of the opening for my things, was easy access for a mum and was big enough for my keys phone, hat and other items. I’ve recently given it a wash and it looks brand new. My teenager has started using it as his backpack for school as my 2 younger children no longer need a bag. As sad as it is it is nice seeing all my children benefit from one backpack! Like I said, MY BEST INVESTMENT! Highly recommend.

I love my mini tote! I use it everyday as both crossbody and the carry handles, it’s not too big or too small- so can fit wallet/phone/tissues easily with room to spare for sunglasses case and the children’s little bits and bobs.
Material is very good quality and love the zip to keep the insides hidden. The inside pocket is big enough for a few lip balms.
Awesome everyday bag and a great price point for quality.

I bought this for daughter starting University this semester and she is absolutely thrilled with it! So many pockets makes separating each classes papers/notes really easy. JanSport another amazing bag!

The right size for everyday stroll ❤️

Its a nice bag, very handy, easy to carry, my every day bag!

Love how much room the Cool Student provides!

A good, robust bag. Best size for primary school, I reckon.

Have brought several bags all great and well manufactured lasting a year at a time

I wish the bag held its shape abit better for when it’s not full I put it down it tends to sag, and maybe additional pockets on the inside For the smaller items. Runs quite big loads of room. But overall very happy . Love the black on black logo subtle but still visible

Strong durable bag, survives a high schooler throwing it around. Second one purchased. Enough room for everything needed for high school.

The back arrived promptly . It’s beautiful and well made , plenty of space and my granddaughter will love it . She asked for it specifically .

Perfect size for our 8 year old who needed something bigger for school projects and sports gear

Hi we ordered a black school backpack recently and it performs perfectly,
My year 10 daughter luvs it and it stands up to the usual school beating.

I bought this for my 14 year old for highschool. He can fit everything in he needs for school - books, laptop, lunchbox, drink bottle, PE shoes and PE uniform. He said it’s super comfortable to wear. He’s been through two school bags in two terms. We were desperate to find a bag that will last and that is big enough. So far, so good, we’re so happy with it. Quick arrival too! Thanks Jansport!!!

Just moved to this bag from the Jansport Hatchet. The Hatchet is a great bag, I liked the large top opening flap, dual cup/bottle side pockets and amount of compartments it had to organize small things but I found that my laptop needed it's own compartment as well as a separate compartment for my course books as they were getting all banged up sharing the same compartment with all other bits and pieces I'd thrown into the Hatchet. The Main Campus had sorted all of this out. The laptop pocket has more than enough room for my 15" gaming laptop which is a bit thicker. The separated 2 main compartments are great for separating books from everything else and they are both quite large. The extra 4L capacity over the Hatchet is noticable and a welcome upgrade. This is now my every day use bag and it does the job really well. Only drawback of this bag I can think of is when it's fully loaded the bag extends out quite far so need to be careful turning around on public transport so as to not hit people with it.
