Tilami Girls Carry-On Luggage

I read the reviews and did my homework. I honestly didn't think a first grader would need such a big bag with wheels, but my daughter wanted one like all her friends, so I splurged and bought this for her, hoping that at this price, it would be durable enough to last 2 years. This was purchased in August 2023, and now it's March 2024 -- so this bag is falling apart before finishing the first year.The bag itself is big. And HEAVY. Take into account that without anything in it, it already weighs quite a bit. So having shoulder straps is not something the kid will be using. And if you (the parent/grandparent) use the shoulder straps, they are padded only on the top and the rest is flimsy webbing tape which connects with a shackle. It's not a strap that's comfortable to wear and it hurts your underarm area.The bag looked like it was made of quality materials. When you look deeper at things, you notice that they use a long stitch on high-pressure areas, like attaching the zipper. It was obvious the zipper wasn't going to hold. See image.Also, the velcro thing in front didn't last. The stitching there fell apart.So while the materials look like quality, they weren't put together well.The wheels have lost their alignment and are no longer straight. While it's only a block to school, it feels like my daughter is struggling with the supermarket cart with a crooked wheel. You know the one... She can't run to school with her backpack like she could at the beginning of the year.The handle is still in tact - I was worried about that, due to other reviews. Inside, the handle takes up a lot of room, so if you need to carry a laptop, or hard cover books, you're losing a lot of space due to the handle.My daughter loves this bag, but she's 6 and I'm the one dragging it around most of the time. I wouldn't buy this again. I hope that next time I buy her a bag it won't have wheels and will hold up better.

I wish i could give no stars! I am extremely disappointed. The bag looks like it was being used for years. It is torn up and ripped all over. It is dirty. The tag is torn off. The wheels are dirty. There are crumbs in the bag as if someone was eating a snack and left it in the bag. This is ridiculous. And now I am being told I have to return it to get a refund. I live in a 3rd world country. There isn't a direct UPS location in my country where I can go and return it. And if I find one, the fees are going to be exorbitant.

Today is the first day of school and she stuffed it and proudly rolled it into the building. An added bonus is the backpack straps, just in case she gets tired of rolling.

Good quality and size. Wheels are smooth. You can wear as a backpack or roll it. It does have some weight to it though for wearing it on a small kids back.

I got the bag for my 10 year old for school because books and laptop was to heavy for her to carry
