Olympia 18" Rolling Backpack

My son asked for a rolling backpack this year because he had difficulty carrying his backpack loaded with books last year due to their weight and his small frame. I bought two of these backpacks for my twins. They arrived separately and one box came all banged up, eventhough the backpack was a little dirty it was fine. Going on week two of use, I have no problems with them. Actually, I love them. They are roomy enough to carry several books, lunchbag and a sweatshirt with some room remaining. It is well designed that there is no problem with it tipping over. No issues with the pull up handle either. Have not tried using it as a regular backpack because my kids enjoy rolling it around too much. Would have given it 5 stars but since this is only week two of use, I can't talk to its durability. Excellent buy at a good price. If it holds up, I will definately buy again.

This backpack is big enough for a binder and several textbooks. It's holding up well to day-to-day life with a kid. It's not the most attractive in the world, but it gets the job done.

Update 3/25/11 We had to replace it before the end of the school year. It didn't have staying power. By the time we threw in the towel, the legs on the bottom were broken, and the bottom seam was ripped out. We limped it along as long as we could. By mid-March, it was obvious that we weren't going to make it until the end of May.

Buy Olympia 18" Rolling Backpack Now

Bought this for my 6th grader just before Christmas school break so it has really only been used for 2 1/2 months and the rolling mechanism is broken already. Backpack portion is great but the handle/ wheels fell apart and that is what I bought it for. Product should last longer than that and was hoping it would make it through the rest of the school year.

I had expended some money by now looking for a lasting strong back pack for my now fifth grader son. I read the comments for this Olympia 18" rolling and I thought that I had finally found the right one.

After merely 2 weeks and 3 days of use, the main zipper broke, the bottom's two corners had holes, the strap-clip to use as back pack cracked in 2 pieces....

Sorry, I am very disappointed no as much for the product as per those who selected this Backpack as one of the best.

This backpack is not worth the money we paid. We researched backpacks for a month before we found one we thought would work well. The bottom stands broke off within a month of use, and then it just tipped over every time we tried to stand it up. Within 3 months there were holes in the bottom of the backpack and things were falling out. We are very disappointed this backpack didn't make it even half a school year.
