This was for my 9 yr old daughter. She loves it. The colors are beautiful and the quality is extremely good. The pack is a good size for her--not too big, not too small--but looks like it will also continue to be a good size as she grows. We had to cinch the waistband down a lot, but the way it is designed we can at least do it, unlike some other pack that only tighten so far. She's able to do the clasp herself but it is plenty sturdy. Overall, very happy with this!
