I've purchased this backpack twice now, as my teenager used it until the handle couldn't collapse into the bag anymore (which took well over a year of Monday through Friday use), and they loved it so much they wanted the exact same one again. It's big enough to haul their laptop plus all of their notebooks, folders, and big, heavy textbooks. We got the matching set this time so we could give the lunch box to our youngest when they start full-day schooling next year. I'm sure they're going to love it. It's cute enough for a younger child to enjoy, but it's not actually "childish" at all. Heck, if I needed one, I'd use it! All around it's a great quality product and when number two gives out from heavy use, I'm sure we'll be back for number three.
