J World Sundance Laptop Rolling Backpack for Girls Boys. Roller Bookbag with Wheels, 20 Inch, Vintage Rose

My daughter loves this backpack for middle school. She has a lot of stuff to stuff in it and it has several pockets and zippers. We have had it for almost 9 months and the backpack itself barely shows any wear. We live in a warm climate so she walks outside between classes. She also walks home with the bag nearly every day over asphalt, concrete and a section of dirt. Because of this rough uneven surface the wheels have a hard time. In January one wheel literally feel off. Now another wheel has fallen off. Since the backpack is under warranty, both times customer service has been fast to send replacement wheels. (To contact their customer support, go to the company’s website.) Definitely recommend but watch out for the wheels.

Very sturdy, love how spacious it is. Love that I don’t have to carry it on my back and can roll it everywhere but if it’s light or I need to it has straps and can be worn as a backpack. If worn as a backpack, the handle doesn’t stick out into my back and the whole backpack is padded so it’s very comfortable. Very lightweight and easy to use. Used for school and traveling. Highly recommend.

This was an answer to a real problem I had. I used to carry around an insulated bag for water (and other drinks) to keep my drinks cold as I was out and about, as well as a purse. If I were attending a meeting, I might also carry a tote bag with papers, notebooks, reference books, or even a laptop computer in it, depending on what I was doing. All of these, I carried on my left shoulder. Then, I injured my shoulder pretty badly. I could no longer carry my insulated bag on my shoulder. And it was really weird trying to carry stuff in other ways. I kept trying to throw stuff on my shoulder and instantly regretting it. A lifetime habit is hard to break. So, I got this. You can pull it behind you, and it works great. It carries everything I need. Yes, it has a section that is semi-insulated. It's not quite as good as the actual insulated pouch I used to carry, but it does keep the drinks cold a lot longer than a regular bag. Meanwhile, it has other sections that can carry pretty much anything else I might want to carry. I can transfer the stuff from my purse if I want to, or I can still carry my purse separately. (I've done both ways.) And, as an extra bonus, unlike my old insulated bag, there is a netted area on each side to store a bottle or a cup that I'm actively drinking from, too, leaving the semi-insulated area free to keep the refills cold. The wheels are smooth. They can be a bit loud, depending on what surface you are pulling it along, but there's no harm in that. (You won't be sneaking up on anybody with this in tow, though - that's for sure.) In short, this bag makes my life a lot better.

Lasted 2 years and 2 months. I only use it from my car to the office and back- not a student who uses it all day. Good compartments in the front. Wish it could have lasted longer. Now one wheel is getting wobbly and crooked.

Sturdy, convenient, seems durable. The wheels make it a little heavy if you want to use as a backpack. Love all the pockets - it has really helped my daughter stay organized. Planning to also use as a carry-on bag for travel.

I purchased the bag for my middle school daughter because she loved the pattern. Although I read the review on the handle problem, I still went ahead because I thought it might be an isolated case, and even if the problem did occur later, it would be covered under the manufacturer's three year warranty. I was wrong! In less than three months, the handle malfunctioned - it could not be pushed down. By all means, my daughter used it normally. She is a gentle girl and takes care of her things. The bag still looked very new, and there was no physical damage at all. I contacted the seller. Their reply was that manufacturer "stated if the handled worked properly initially, the handle housing must have been damaged by some sort of shock and causing the housing unit to be bent. This would not be covered under the warranty as, only manufacturer defectives would be covered". This was a very irresponsible statement made by the manufacturer and the seller. It is ridiculous that without asking for any information or looking at the bag, a conclusion was made that it was the customer's fault and not a manufacturer's defect. The seller said they could not help me and asked me to contact the manufacturer directly. I then looked up the manufacturer JWorld's webiste. There was NO phone number listed on the website, only email contacts. I have sent them two separate emails and to date still have not heard from them. While JWorld's bags do look pretty, quality is clearly an issue, and the manufacturer's warranty is a hoax. Update on January 9, 2013 - The manufacturer responded after two emails and the above post. They sent me instructions to take out the handle and said they would send me a replacement handle. I spent some time to take out the handle, wrote a reminder email to them and expected the new handle would come soon. Two weeks later, I still had not received anything nor did I hear from them again. I sent them an email again, inquiring about when they were going to ship the handle - no response from the maunfacturer. After a week, I sent another email - no response again. I'm going to write them an email again today.

Bought this rolling backpack for my 9-year-old son, and it’s exactly what he needed for school. The storage capacity is impressive – it easily fits all his books, lunch, and even his laptop when needed. The organization is great with the multiple compartments and side pockets. The straps feel sturdy and supportive when he chooses to carry it on his back, and the travelability of the wheels and handle makes it easy for him to roll when the bag is heavy. It’s a little on the weight side when fully packed, but overall, the protection and space it provides makes it worth it. A solid choice for kids who need a big, reliable bag.

One of the wheels fell off in less than 4 months use. For the size, kids may keep a lot of things inside the bag. It’s a decent bag but if your child likes to keep a heavier load this might not be for you. Not sure why they would make such a big bag if the wheels can’t handle it! My child with a lighter load hasn’t had problems.
