The bottom is the same as the rest of the bag. Nylon. I wouldn't think it will hold up if dragged

Dear Henry, The bag is a good choice. I think kids would use the bags very rough and tough. In that case any bag is the same!!! Otherwise, the bag is a very good one! The bottom is quite okay... Regards, Tejasvi

The bottom of the bag is just one piece of material. It's thick, heavy-duty, canvas-wannabe material, but still one piece.

Yes. The bottom of the backpack is well cushioned as is the rest of the compartment where your PC is stored, with the possible exception of the very top of the compartment on the inside of the bag. It seems and feels very secure. You shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Yes, you should'nt have a problem with that. However, the liner inside the backpack is very cheap and will rip with normal usage. It didn't take long before the liner started coming apart from stitching above.

For the past year, I have used the Jansport Driver 8 backpack. I have never experienced a problem with the bottom collapsing, even with it loaded down by multiple heavy textbooks and a laptop. It wont tip if the largest compartment carries the most weight. However, it will tip if the front compartments have the most weight.

I don't carry a backpack, so cannot test it, but the cover is always on my T100 and we take it on trips feeling it is very protected. I throw it in a bag with other items with no worries.

I have had the backpack for a year and it's really hardy. Rain, sleet, and snow the bag hasn't failed me yet. I ride a bike in inclement weather and it's kept my gear dry as a bone.

Well they are kind of flimsy if you can understand what i am trying to say but i would not recommend putting them in a backpack because many things can happen such as been crushed since it is plastic and it comes with a fabric bag it has 0% protection . But ive seen this guy do a test one them and they can get a good amount of hard falls before breaking . But it all up to you on how you take care of your stuff .

I can't imagine any toddler opening the bottom. I have a 14 month old, so it isn't an issue of interest for him yet, but it is a really heavy duty zip-loc type bottom...I don't see it being a problem.

Not at all. I had the same concern but my it isn'tand mmy daughter also takes it to school to play with during before and after school. Only reason why I mention that is because she can't stand when her bag is too heavy. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

I think this backpack will have plenty of room for off of your sons binders & books. The zippers zip all the way down the side so you can pack it pretty good and there are plenty of compartments to keep everything organized. That is also the one concern I have is that it can get heavy especially if your carrying a laptop or iPad, but if he needs to carry that much stuff you're going to have that issue with any backpack.

Water-proof? No. Water-resistant? Probably. I've had this backpack for approx. 2 months, and have had zero issues commuting to work in the rain without an umbrella. My laptop/notebooks have always stayed dry in light to moderate rain, although I haven't tested it in heavy rain for long distances...and I don't plan on taking the risk, unless absolutely necessary.

No problem at all. I was reluctant to buy this unit since it costs so much more than other ones on Amazon. This one is built really tough and I expect it to last awhile. Plus, our son can haul in all of the groceries at one time vs. making separate trips to the car. The bottom of it is is a rubbery non-skid surface so it doesn't slide around. Best of luck.

I've had mine for a little over a year and the bottom is loose. My husband's is also. Not a huge deal, but I would buy something else if I knew it would not do that.

Yes, there is a stabilizer in the bottom. But at times, to be specific (50% of time), it falls off. Its better if its leaning against the wall. I carry my laptop usually, but even if its slants down there is good support in the front / back of the bag so there not a percentage chance of any damage. I personally like this backpack.

I would get a protective case for it. I have mine in a case logic zipper case and keep it in my backpack that goes everywhere with me. Haven't had any issues so far.

It's done pretty well for us... As drops go... I would be afraid if a little one threw it... So far our devise has survived a few drops... It also depends on what edge it lands on... The bottom is substantially thicker/better protection than the top. Hope you find this helpful.. Jc

It's not so much a matter of age as it is of child size. My four year old grandson stuffs all his plastic toy tools in all the pockets. He's taller then most his age but is slim. I've adjusted the belt as tight as I can make it and it's still a little large. Also the plastic buckle, similar to those on adult backpacks, seems to me to present a risk of pinched little fingers for a younger child. It hasn't occurred with our little guy.
