We struggled with buying another cheaply made backpack out of a big box store for our 7 year old son. Last year he ruined his backpack in less than 2 weeks of school. LL Bean is known for quality in products and, although we didn't want to spend double what we spent last year, we knew that LL Bean backed their product with a solid quarantee in case it didn't work out. Well it's been 2 full months of school and it's been a great product. NO tears, NO bottom falling out, NO zipper pulls breaking, the entire backpack is in the same shape it was when it arrived. It's indestructible to our 7 year old! Actually we are so pleased with it we are going to buy another one for our 10 year old for Christmas. Thanks LL Bean!
After only one month of use by my 5 year old the straps have worn right off the bag. It says to remove straps when rolling but how does a girl do this when getting on and off the bus. Not a possibility. Too heavy and straps need to be reworked.
I love this back pack. Its a smaller size which is great for little kids to handle. Its still big enough to pack a lunch bag and school books. The best thing is the wheels because it takes a lot of stress off little shoulders when its full.
I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY DAUGHTER,WHO NOW CARRIES MORE BOOKS HOME THIS YEAR. VERY GOOD QUALITY,DURABLE AND WORTH THE MONEY. HANDEL WORKS WITH EASE,PLENTY OF ROOM,WITH POCKETS. SHE USES IT DAILY.WEATHER PROOF.EXCELLENT PRODUCT...
