What backpack would you recommend?

[Mikeb1892]

I'll be traveling to the world in June with my wife, mother, and two sons (8 & 2). We will be renting a single stroller (not from Disney), but I'm also going to bring a backpack to the parks and I'm looking for suggestions as to which one to get. I'd like something very high quality that is going to last us for years, and I don't mind paying extra to obtain this. Any suggestions?

For Diapering needs, I have the Fisher Price Backpack Diaper Bag and absolutely love in. In terms of a normal backpack, I have a bunch from Lands End that have gotten me through the years with no issues and are still in fantastic condition.

I have an awesome lands end backpack but for my park bag I got the lightest weight one I could find (happened to be from Target).

I didn't want any extra weight at all.

Lands End or LL Bean. They last forever.

We love our ju-ju-be diaper backpack. Tons of organization with a special "mommy pocket", insulated side pockets to keep drinks cold, antibacterial lining, cool designs, matching changing pad, and does not look like a diaper bag at all. We only use it for travel, but we have 2 other diaper bags (I use one for work) that we beat up consistently and they still look awesome.

ETA: We got gender neutral designs since I babywear while hubs wears the bag. I do second LL Bean though - I had one that lasted middle school - college.

We have a few that we have used over the years as the size and space requirements have changed with the ages of the kids. Our most successful have been from Eddie Bauer and Kelty. No matter what the brand find something that is comfortable on YOUR back.

LL Bean backpacks are the best I have found so far.

LL Bean and Jansport are my two favorite backpacks. Both are incredibly durable and large (not to mention cute!)

I've used the Rick Steves Civitas Day Pack for many years. It has practically no weight at all and is machine washable. Mine has lasted...uhm...13 years?
