We have long wondered whether we buy a new satchel for our 8 year old or not. That it is necessary in a 2nd class to buy a new we did not expect. Also not our daughter too large for hardshell satchel are. So Well, we searched for a new, stable and of course a space saver. Recommended (for multiple selected products) then became the Satch us on Amazon. First thought "hm a normal backpack should be more stable than the hardshell things ??" So clever made on the internet and got what I seen has convinced me. I had a product video on a known channel Allerlei found what fascinated me. The backpack is stable, made of PET bottles, washable, adjustable with regard to the size of the back-friendliness, to close the front, to stabilize at the hip with, etc. It was simply a product what you would want from every knapsack / backpack, The colors are great and pretty strong that the notice in the still dark season guaranteed. It offers plenty of space for small items and the organization of the subjects is top. Also that the compartment for the heavy stuff by a rubber is additionally stabilized pleased me. That we did not have at our old knapsack. This can be set on the back of the carrier on the size of the child based on a measurement scale is also great. Did not know that it will be displayed there. The only thing I would have to complain about are the side pockets. These are still very tight and if it makes sense there the Bottle accommodate rather than to do, if space in the knapsack, I may doubt. We have accommodated there our raincover. All in all, recommended the Satch. I'll buy it again if still one of my daughters needed a new satchel :-)
