Is zipper sewn in sturdy? (I had one that broke right away)?

I sent it back. Quality not sturdy enough for frequent use. Disappointing. Like the idea, just not the execution.

The zipper seems pretty solid, we haven't given it too much use yet so I can't say if it holds up. The whole thing seems pretty sturdy, especially for the price!

JanNo zipper at all. Stitched together- so if it got dirty could spot clean. Hope this was helpful

Yes. I have used them for quite a few years now. They have held their shape and are still soft and not very worn at all.The zipper even still works smoothly.

We have had no problem with the zipper nor with the fabric. My daughter uses this backpack for her larger dolls, and they go through everything with her and everything she puts in them. It is sturdy, great color, everything is workable and usable. We love it.

I have had mine for about five months. Going back and forth to craft shows. Zipper still works fine and bag shows no sign of ripping. I would say that the bag quality is above par but it's not the greatest quality.

No problem. It is a great piece. We don't use a safety strap. We feel the chances of zipper are so small it isn't warranted.

If you mean, how secure is the zipper, I've had no issues it has a velco patch to seal it & it stays close :)

Yes, easily! great bag, very durable. Considering getting another for when this one fails (if it ever will)

I have not had any issues with the zipper on my bag. I haven't had the opportunity to use mine as much lately so, I don't have a lot of wear. Right now, everything is solid.

The zipper is a heavy duty zipper. We have another stroller that has a flimsy zipper.

The backpack is well made, just the zipper is not. We've put an equivalent of approx. 7lbs but did not keep it on my child for more than 5 min since he is young but I'm sure that the bag would've held up.

The zipper is zipped into a pocket that is made of elastic material when it's zipped closed. I haven't had any issues with the zipper snagging on anything.

Zippers seem pretty sturdy, actually there is just one zipper on outside flap. I don't really like it, because its not very padded at all so would not do a good job of protecting laptop from a hard drop, etc. But the price is cheap so Its worth $12.00 I guess.

We just bought this item (twice) in 2013 and the zipper works smoothly (so far, in about a month of use). The zipper and pulls are deep in the groove. It's not a real issue/flaw, just a peculiarity of the design. I guess it keeps the zipper from catching on things in a bag. It's a tiny annoyance, for people who have big fingers or little patience--or both! We'll see how it holds up in longer use.

I was wondering that too before. Put both zippers together and just zip down with them at the same time. It might take a few tries, but I got it without trying once and thought I broke it.

Agree with the previous replies. Yes, the material is quite thick and a short exposure to rain won't hurt the contents. Unfortunately the zipper on mine broke very soon after I started using it :(

Yes you need to be careful with the zipper I purchased two of these for a mud run event fabric easily gets bound up in zipper, but for the cost you can not beat this. If you use it a lot may want to consider paying more for a higher quality one
