I bought this as luggage for my 5 year old for our recent trip to South America.  I had looked at more sturdy luggage with 360 degree wheels, but decided in the end that it was just too expensive. This bag turned out to be a great choice. It held plenty of clothes and also held up to being checked onto the airlines and being tossed in and out of cars, trucks, etc.  It has various pockets, most of which we didn't even use.  Most importantly, my 5 year old could handle it through the airport without assistance.  The handle and wheels work very easily and smoothly.
