This backpack has been amazing for my daughter. She has a back condition that keeps her from being able to carry heavy loads in her backpack. This pack looks great, rolls very well and is so durable!
I don't usually write a review but I must say my investment in this bag is totally worth it. I bought this bag when my daughter was entering 2nd grade. She will be in 5th grade this fall and this bag is still holding up. The wheels are working just fine - we roll it to and from school - in the mud and in the snow. The zipper does get stuck sometimes but nothing major. ( It did not break! There is a little wear and tear but nothing major.
I am so happy with this bag and so proud to tell people that I never spent anymore money on other school bags.
I bought my son a similar bag ( a little bigger) when he was in 1st Grade and he will be in 3rd grade this fall. That bag is still in perfect condition - and my son has been rough with it.
I am sure we'll keep using it until he gets tired of it - hopefully when he is done with 8th grade. :)
My kids loved these, they have lasted for years. I bought one for my son that lasted for a few years of grade school and all through middle school and still looked brand new. The only reason he stopped using it was because he outgrew it and needed to carry more books in high school. Also got one for my daughter that has lasted several years of grade school, but now it won't fit in her middle school locker. It still looks brand new. : (
I agree with other users that the negatives regarding this pack are the lack of a water bottle holder and zipper closure covering. My daughter forget to close her water bottle completely and twice we were left with wet books and saturated folders.
