I purchased this for my almost 4yo (she’ll be 4 in mid-October) for her first year of preschool. She’s tiny (27.8lbs and about 37.5inches tall). She LOVES orange, and that color is super hard to find in-store. This bag fits her so well and she loves snapping the little clip in front that’s for even weight distribution. Probably not necessary for us, since she’ll only really ever carry a folder and nothing heavy, but it’s a nice touch. The overall pack/material seems very durable. The zippers perform smoothly and don’t catch at all on any material. I love that there’s an inside pocket and only one main compartment and that both sides of the backpack have mesh water bottle pockets. The product is simple, straightforward and seems quality. I hope to use it for at least 2 years and that would be well worth its cost. I love the reflective strips on the straps as well. The part of the backpack that will be up against my child’s back is a gray mesh material that will be nice for breathability, I’d imagine. Again, probably not necessary for my child because she’s only using it for school and not any kind of outdoor activity. Still, the mesh is a nice touch and if you’re looking for a pack for hiking or something, this would probably be a great, cost effective choice for a little outdoors boy or girl. We haven’t used it yet, as school starts in September here, but upon first impression, I do recommend!
