My son has thrown this around now for 2 years.  My only problem was that the photo advertised showed the lunch box attached.  I assumed for the money I paid that I was receiving both.....after I only received the backpack, I saw in small small letters that they are sold separately.  Had I paid enough attention, I would not have spent the money.  A back pack is a back pack, however, my son is the only one in school with this.  So, I do like that I can spot him easily.  haha I also like that he is getting used to being an individual.
