I needed a suitcase for my 4 yr old son and didn't want to spend a fortune for something character covered that would seem too young for him in 2-3 years and cost an arm and a leg. The red suitcase achieves the fun and specialness, the price can't be beat and the quality is just what I expected for the price, a little iffy looking on the stitching but better construction than you see on cheap kid suitcases.. I don't expect it to last till he goes to college but think it will stand up to a couple years of rough treatment. We've yet take it on a trip but it has survived being sat on and played with, so I'm hopeful.
