Bottom Line

Less expensive and a little lighter weight than other similarly styled rolling backpacks for school.

Pros

Comes in three styles. Thick straps with a heavy-duty handle. This is actually a backpack with a rolling dolly, which means the rolling dolly can be completely removed if desired. Lots of pockets. Big zipper pulls. Two water bottle holder pockets.

Cons

This not a very deep backpack and is really best for younger children only.
