Ni Hao Kai Lan Full Size School Backpack

My daughter is 20 months old. She was 19 months old when I bought this for her for Christmas. I think it goes without saying that when she opened her gift she was ecstatic. She runs around the house with the (empty) backpack on, it's true to its word in the description....it is a full sized backpack. Basically the entire length of her body minus legs.

It holds up to her running around and has in fact replaced the diaper bag for outings. My only beef is with the picture on the front of the backpack. It fell over, empty, when she first opened it. This one little topple with the design to the floor caused a pretty surprisingly nasty gash in the design. Now I find that strange because

1. It was EMPTY!

2. My floors are wood floors...this means my OCD doesn't allow the floor to be messy or ever have any crumbs strewn about.

So how on earth did a brief meeting with the floor mess up the picture? I don't know. My daughter doesn't notice, and it's not a huge deal by itself. My concern is that if after that strange incident, how much longer will the design even be recognizable? If I had known I would have just hunted for a patch I could sew onto another backpack myself.

Otherwise, it's a great product. She loves it, I love it, it's make it otherwise sturdy and durable...I can imagine we will be using it for a long time. Even after the picture has gone.
