Robust, little backpack
Sturdy small backpack, that has held up on various trips and their respective weather conditions, with multiple pockets including one on each side that is big enough for two 18 oz water bottles. Comfy- from easy to adjust straps to padded back. Overall, excellent quality. Love this backpack!

Nice backpack- 1 Flaw
The pattern is beautiful and I love the material. It's a perfect size for me right now. However, it would be ideal if the side pockets had a closure, like the zipper on some of the bags.

Looking for a New Home
The colors are incredible. This backpack will be one of many mini and small backpacks my family will have to choose from. It's going to be a little big for my great-nieces under ten years to handle. I see a late teen or early adult picking it up. Hope they like it as much as I do.

Love it!
Love the size for a summer purse! Big enough for the "mom needs" but not too big that it becomes a catch all! I like the material, easy to spot clean when needed, and durable for the parks, zoo, and daily use!
