This is one of the most well-designed backpacks I've ever seen for a schoolgirl. The size is absolutely perfect for my second grader. There is a multitude of pockets, and organization is perfect for keeping track of her things. Shoulder straps are soft, well-padded and comfortable. Stitching looks to be well done and durable. My favorite part of this backpack is the straps to keep tall water bottles from tipping out of the water bottle pockets on the side. No more lost or forgotten water bottles because they tipped out of the pocket and spilled. The pocket is deep, and the extra strap is places perfectly for those tall tumblers. The soft pink, aqua lavender colors go together perfectly. My daughter is completely in love with it and so am I! Perfect for school and traveling!
