MATEINRolling Backpack

I bought this bag for nursing school in January 2021. I've only used it for 1 semester to carry my books and supplies. Now the summer semester has started and the bag is falling apart. I read reviews and looked at many bags before I decided to get this one. 60 something dollars down the drain. I'm hardly working now and I am struggling to get by because nursing school is so hard and time consuming. Now I will have to buy another rolling backpack to tow all my books etc around? I'm so disappointed in this bag. I thought it would last longer than 1 semester.😢 If I could have given it 0 stars then I would have done so. For durability 0⭐, for sturdiness 0⭐, for travelling 0⭐.Updated 12/21/2021 - The manufacturer has replaced my bag free of charge. I've used it for the past few semesters and it's still holding up quite well and is still in excellent condition. It's actually a pretty decent bag and will save your back from having to carry those heavy nursing books. I guess the one I had before could've been defective. Dont be afraid to buy this bag because the company stands behind their product. I've therefore changed my rating to 4⭐. Maybe I'm being petty but I kept 1⭐ off because of my previous experience.

Very pleased so far. I’m teleworking so once a week I have to pack up the mobile office (laptop, cables, charger/docking station, soft phone, keyboard and mouse) and drive an hour into work, park a block away and trek to the office. The laptop bag I had was fine, just an over the shoulder kind of strap, but when you add a purse, lunchbox, drink, phone, keys, umbrella, etc, my hands were getting full and back was getting sore. Same with my backpack. Enter this little gem and it holds all of it with ease and room to spare. The wheels work great rolling up and down the city sidewalk and are super quiet when I’m inside. It’s only rained once and the bag has held up nicely and contents stayed dry. I’ve only had this for about a week or two but I’m quite pleased with it and was surprised to see it’s now out of stock. Glad I ordered when I did.

It was time for me to stop lugging everything on my back all the time, so I wanted a replacement for my previous computer backpack which had lots and lots of zipper compartments and a padded laptop compartment, and which fit under the airline seat. I went looking for one exactly like that one but with wheels and a handle for pulling like a rolling suitcase. This was by far the most reasonably priced and yet lightweight I could find. It has slightly fewer pockets than my old non-wheeled one, but I can live with that. It's been with me now on four airline trips with connections in busy airports and it has held up very well. No issues with TSA or fitting in most models of plane. (In one puddle-jumper it wouldn't fit under the seat that is a single row but was fine in the middle seat.)

We needed a bigger rolling backpack in a hurry for my 5th grader due to COVID restrictions at his school the kids do not get lockers this year so alot more needed to fit than last year. This one gives another inch or so to squeeze in a laptop along with many books- so far it has taken a month of abuse and still intact. I would purchase again.

We bought this for our grandson who is in high school and is also disabled. It went on the school bus with him every day for the last couple months of the 2020/21 school year and all of the 2021/22 school year. It held up very well and only started showing some wear around the bottom corner edges towards the end of the 21/22 school year. I think he pulled it, rather than carrying it, most of the time he was using it. However, I think there may have been a few times he must have used the backpack straps to carry it and they didn't get pushed back under the covering on the back before rolling it again, because the buckles on the straps were ripped off by the end of the school year. I can picture the straps getting caught up on the wheels and then dragged on the ground. I think we will still order this one again for the coming school year because it was so sturdy, didn't tip over, and we never had any problems with pulling the handle up to its full length or pushing it back down into the bag and it was big enough to hold any extra items we had to send to school for him. We'll just work harder on helping him understand how to stow the backpack straps after carrying it on his shoulder(s).
