3 gripes I do have about the bags which would prevent me from giving it 5 stars:
-size is somewhat small. If they made the bags only a little bit larger, you can fit a regular sized book/papers in much nicely. Right now, putting in an 8.5"x11"-sized anything would cause the bag to close looking "warped" and even cause bending to the book/papers.
-Initially, the complains about the shoulder straps at the top of the bag being set too far didn't bother me. But I have noticed, especially with my now-2yo, that one strap is always falling off her shoulders.
-Lastly, b/c the velcro closure in only attached to the lining of the flap, even with a light load, the flap constantly "pulls" upwards when the bag is worn causing the velcro bar underneath flap to be exposed. It just makes the bag look a little sloppy and "soft".
I would still buy and recommend these bags in a heartbeat. They really are great for little kids who want their own backpacks. But they definitely need to be replaced with larger, more substantial bags once kids are in school. BTW, my 2yo and 4yo still wear the straps at the smallest setting.

Quite different from the photo. In the photo, the bag looks elegant with hard sides holding straight and giving the bag its "square" allure (like a satchel). But the bag is actually made with a very soft (and padded!) fabric that wouldnt stand straight by itself. It sort of "sink" and looks more like a pillow than the photo would have let you guess. Since the tissue is padded , the bag feels like a cushion. Eventually the look of the bag is quite ordinary. If I knew that before I placed my order, I would have chosen a funnier tissue that would have given this bundle-like bag more style.Read Best Reviews of Sugarbooger Kiddie Play Kid Picnic Back Pack Here
Was really hoping my girl would go for the darling robin's egg shade, but she asked for the pink. I'm pleasantly surprised: the shade is fresh, youthful, and sweet -like a pink geranium, not the sickening overdone hot pink of girls' departments far and wide. Super adorable, nice hand, too soon to predict durability, but it has as good a shot as any. The price and size were right for our two year old; nice tight cotton construction; and it's quite simple -no glom, no glitter, no noticeable label or logo. Simple, innocent, childlike -shouldn't be a rarity in the child industrial complex, but it so often is! So glad I found it.This backpack is well made and adorable...but it isn't red. I ordered it for my son...and it was a pinkish-orange color. Definately more coral colored than red. I returned it and purchased a different one.
