Great quality & looks! If you have a miniature pack rat (folder, book, sweater, athletic shoes, etc.) I would highly recommend the larger bag. This is perfect for the Light Packer types!
Bought it for my forth grader, really useless...so sad, not cheap. I think it is good for K-3, but why bother buy the bigger a little more money it will last all through Elementary School. Don't buy this one , it is really small,
Do not buy this, it is NOT worth the money buy the bigger one it will last through Elementary school. I made a HUGE mistake. $20 difference is not worth it.
I must say that I have always been a fan on the LL Bean backpack. I had one which lasted me all 4 years of high school in the 80's-90's and into my freshman year of college. Superior quality that cant be beat. This roller bag for my 3rd grader is very well made but there are two areas of disappointment. First, the handle makes it wobbley when my son rolls it. I am a very experienced traveler and notice that bags with this type of handle are not as stable as those with the two a rods instead of one in the middle. It seems to through off the center line and rocks back and forth more. He ends of dragging it on its side instead of rolling. The second is the lack of water bottle holder. Since it is a must now for kids to carry and wate bottle with them it is inconvenient to place inside the bag as when there is fresh cold water, the condensation gets items wet inside.
