Here's what other sites are saying:

From Campmor:
"Simple in design, the Skeeter gives kids 35 ounces of hydration whenever and wherever they want it. Features Camelbak's new taste-free Pure Flow tube- incorporating a polyethylene liner, the trilaminate design of the tube keeps water tasting fresh from the first use. Easy to fill and clean 35oz. OMEGA Hydrotanium with tether strap. Ergo Angle keeps bite valve positioned for easy use. Moisture wicking Superknit back panel keeps you cool and dry. Low-profile design will not interfere with a helmet. 5 mm closed cell foam insulation keeps water cool for hours. 3-M reflective strip for increased low light visibility."

From Backcountry.com:
"CamelBak made the Kids' Skeeter Hydration Pack with a super low-profile design, so this pack feels comfortable all day and won't get caught on tree branches as your kid careens down the bike trail. The Skeeter's wicking back panel keeps back sweat at bay. The HydroTanium water reservoir prevents residue build-up, so your kid's water or sport drink doesn't taste icky. This CamelBak pack has reflective stripes for nighttime safety, and the Skeeter is machine washable for easy de-dirtifying."

From Moosejaw:
"On Sale. CamelBak Kid's Skeeter 35 oz Pack (Fall 2009) The Skeeter Hydration Pack by Camelbak is our simple, 35-oz. system is perfect for the park, bike rides, or a trip to the beach. With enough water for 1 to 2 hours of fun, this system keeps the kids thirst free with their own Camelbak system.Specifications: Capacity: 35 oz. [1 L] Features: Easy fill, easy clean via the OMEGA HydroTanium Reservoir with Lifetime Warranty First kids ages 5 and up Reflectivity for increased low-light safety Wicking mesh back panel keeps kids comfortable"

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Sized to fit kids ages five and up, the Camelbak Skeeter Hydration Pack features a compact design and an internal 35-oz. OMEGA Reservoir. Camelbak recently refined their entire OMEGA Reservoirs with a HydroTanium polyurethane film that further enhances the integrity of one of the most burst-resistant hydration reservoirs in the industry. The Skeeter Hydration Pack doesn't have a clutter of pockets, but it does have plenty of reflective elements to increase rider visibility in low light conditions. A breathable wicking mesh backpanel helps pull perspiration away from your child's back for better comfort on long rides and hikes. Camelbak suggests that a liter of water should keep a kid hydrated for one to two hours, but this often depends on environmental conditions and how long the novelty of chewing on the self-sealing Big Bite Valve lasts (in field tests we found that a few kids under the age of five chewed through the Bite Valve until it wouldn't properly seal--you may want to pass this parental advice along to your eager riders, hikers and campers)."

"My 2 year old hikes with this filled up in the mountains of Montana and never complains about the weight. He actually drinks more water when wearing this. I have also rigged this up to his crib for naps/night (he has a broken leg) and it works out great. And I rig it up in the car when we are driving and he is in his car seat. Multiple uses!"

"My 4-year-old daughter LOVES this pack and so do I. It carries enough water to keep her hydrated for an all-day outing and even has enough room for some trail bars, her rain shell and extra socks.

We wanted to find her a pack that wouldn't wear her out but would still be functional and allow her to start carrying some of her own gear - this pack is the solution."
