" ... She is a teacher and carries a wheeled backpack every day to and from school. ... I got the bag and right away there were issues. ...

" ... My son has a lot of books, to be in the 4th grade, & the fact it has wheels makes this a great bag, when he needs them, to be so little & books so heavy, I would recommend this bag, it has a lot of compartments, easy to switch from pulling to carrying as a backpack, if your child can have a rolling back back this is a good one ...
