My daughter started the school year out with a different bookbag with wheels. That bag started falling apart about the first week of school and it went down hill the weeks to follow. I found myself shopping for another bag. I asked different people where to go and what bag to buy. I finally realized that there was a student with the same bag in a different color who had the bag for 2 years, and it was still in excellent shape. I decided to go online and order the bag . We are very pleased with the product. I am so pleased that I am going to order another bag in a different color for next year.

Well, this backpack is awesome IF you don't use it for a student with heavy textbooks. To me this kind of defeats the purpose of a rolling backpack. We love the color choices. We haven't had any problems with zippers or wheels....yet The problem is that the weight of 3 to 5 textbooks made the bottom buckle and the bag no longer stands up on it's own. This doesn't entirely prevent the bag from being useful as it still rolls fine. It gets scuffed up more now, however because it falls over on the ground when he lets go of the handle. Unfortunately, this weak bottom isn't covered by the replacement plan I paid for. This bag is more of a take some clothes to grandma's house for a visit type of bag. It's not strong enough for student usage. Too bad because it's a great bag otherwise.I would recommend this bag ONLY if you don't use it for a student who brings home heavy books.

Had this backpack for about 4 weeks and the zipper pulls apart and will not stay zipped. I would not recommend this pack as it is not durable.

Very high quality, and compared to other rolling backpacks, very much superior. it's quiet and heavy duty, has just enough space/pockets and I love the way it's designed.

The zipper broke within the first 3 days rendering it unusable to my son. Very frustrating. It is also hard to get his books in and out because the top does not open as widely as needed.

I'm a teacher and pregnant and figured this bag would be a big help rather than carrying my heavy bag with all my books on my shoulder. Comes in very handy except for when I have to go up the stairs (which I didn't think about) and I have to carry it. Only problem is that it doesn't stand straight up, it leans forward. Other than that, it's great!

I bought this for my son who just started middle school. While I admit I didn't spend big bucks on it, by the second week it was already wearing in the corners from the books in the bag. Maybe it's not meant to carry books? My son also told me that the wheels lock up on it sometimes. Kids these days have to carry so much and I so wanted this rolling backpack to work, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I purchased this backpack for my 9 year old nephew. One month later and it is holding up well. We got the Marigold color. It is more of a peach, lighter than shows on screen.

I purchased this rolling backpack for my daughter who had spinal infusion surgery this summer. The backpack contained several compartments which is very convenient. However, as instructed by her surgeon, she is not to bend nor twist for several months. You can imagine my anxiety when she repeatedly stated that the backpack tips over frequently in class - how unfortunate, now I have return to her prior year's backpack which was firm and sturdy, however, not as attractive.

Couldn't be happier. Exactly as described. Great service.

I purchased the Olympia rolling backpack for my 10 1/2 year old daughter (whom is VERY picky). I must have shopped at 10 different stores w/her and purchased and returned 3 different backpacks. She seemed to find something wrong with all of the backpacks we saw. I did agree with her on most of her complaints. The color was to "boyish", the wheels not sturdy enough, the handle was too long, the material was too flimsy...etc. The price in my opinion was at the top of the list! So, when we received her Olympia rolling backpack, we both knew we had gotten a GREAT deal. The material is of great quality, the 4 wheels are comparable to rollerblading wheels (with bearings), the color and style are unique (at her school, the kids seem to all have similar styles, colors, etc), and the inside of the backpack is very spacious. And the price was perfect! We are both very satisfied with our purchase! Thanks, Overstock.com!!!! :)

I purchased the rolling backpack because of shoulder and back pain. I use public transit to/from work each day and carry my lunch, and miscellaneous "must haves" in the rolling backpack and it has helped me tremendously with the pain. I also feel I got a great deal on the price!

We have been very please with this backpack so far. It is for my 4th grade son who can be hard on a backpack. We've only had it for about 3 weeks, but it is holding up well. It is large and will hold quite a few books. The wheels look sturdy. The only potential problem is that the clip for attaching the shoulder straps drags the ground when using it as a rolling backpack. I can't figure out how to correct this. Overall, we are happy with this backpack.

I have quite a walk from the parking lot at work to my office. I bought this to help me tote things that are too heavy to carry. With the wheels it makes it so much easier!

These are the 3rd & 4th of these backpacks we have ordered. They last much better than any other brand we have tried. Most prior backpack did not last a single school year, these last at least 2. Wheels work exceptionally well.

The Olympia rolling backpack is the perfect transitional size for my son. It is made of high quality material and very durable. Perfect for rolling school supplies and homework to and from school. We were suprised to find the double wheels on both sides and the extra extension handle for people of different heights. Wonderful! Well recommended.

This backpack seemed flimsy upon arrival, (which by the way took only days!), and not as roomy as I had hoped. I wanted to send it back, seeing as the old backpack seemed sturdier. My son liked it, however, and wanted to keep it. So far, so good, but its only 2 wks into the school year. One thing I noticed was that there was no padding or reinforcement of the back where the handle slides into. If he had to wear it for any length of time, it would be digging into his back. So far no issues w/ wear and tear, but I honestly don't expect it to hold up, given its flimsy appearance. If my son hadn't insisted on keeping it, it would have gone right back.

I purchased a back pack from your company after my middle-school son quickly went through three others. This one was the only one that could withstand a middle school schedule. I now have another child entering middle school, so I ordered one for him too!

My daughter used this bag for a whole year now. We couldn't wait to replace it with another wheeled bag. At first, the bag would fall forward when books were put inside. Now, it barely can stand up on its own even when empty (leans forward a lot). The netting for the bottle holder started to rip immediately. The bottom edges of the bag started to rip/tear as well. The only thing we liked was the front pockets and the colors are great, too.

I bought 2 of these for my daughters and within a short time the bottoms of the backpack got holes in it since it is just fabric and no reinforcement. The capacity is good but the material is just not holding up with 7 and 8 year olds and they are not even rough with it, just rolling the backpack up stairs and the sidewalk curb wrecks the pack within weeks.
