I am not sure why I am being asked to rate this as a toy-it is not!  Got it for a Christmas present for an 8 year old to finish out the school year with the backpack.  It has held up really well and is still going strong.  The only spot on it that needs repaired before the start of another school year is the water bottle holder-it is made of mesh and has come apart at the top of the holder the rest is fine.  Believe me an 8 year old boy can be very hard on backpacks and this one has stood up.  It goes from home to bus than school and back again--still going strong with lots of use. GREAT for the money!
