This post brought to you by Walmart. All opinions are 100% mine. Years ago when my nephew was a toddler, Teddy Ruxpin was the ultimate in animated toys.

To me the best backpack designs are simple and streamlined, like the Link backpack from Modern Industry.

We live in a high-rise condo building, and the main hallways and stairways are all interior and windowless.
