I bought one for my 9 yrs old daughter few years ago , and now I ordered two more one for my son who's in kindergarten and one for my nephew for his x-mas present, these back packs are awesome.
I bought this backpack for my son for his first day of kindergarten. He fell in love with the blue backpack with the lizard and the light up wheels.
A few weeks into school we were told by his teacher that he could not bring this backpack to school because it was too big to fit into his cubby and that he needed a new one.
I ended up buying the critter backpack without the wheels for school and use the one with wheels for luggage. I wish that I knew that it was too big for a cubby/locker at school before buying the one with wheels the first time around.
My son loves this pack! The lighted wheels were the main selling point and he loves that he can roll it with all his heavy school books. Great material and lots of handy compartments. A big hit in our house!
I bought this bag for my third grade (9 yrs old) daughter in pink with the matching lunch box. The lunch box is big so you cant get it in the backpack once she has her binder. I would add a shoulder strap to the lunch box and/or a strap to the bag to hold the lunch box on the backpack. The backpack straps are never used because the bag is too heavy once you put her binders in. I would get rid of the straps or give the consumer an option to order without , add a pocket to the back, add a vecro strap to attatch the lunch box and it would be perfect.
