Here's what other sites are saying:

From Campmor:
"Perfect for the junior day hiker to carry their own gear. 1.5-Liter Nalgene reservoir for maximum strength and no aftertaste. Complete with drinking tube, and easy flow bite valve. Packbag features a large main compartment, 3-dimensional pocket with organizer, and an outer mesh stash pocket. Padded back panel, shoulder straps, and webbed waist belt."

From Backcountry.com:
"When your kid asks if it's possible to fill the Kelty Starfish Backpack's 1.5-liter hydration reservoir with air and use the pack as a diving tank, give him or her points for thinking outside of the box. While this pack does have fully taped seams and tough polyester fabric for the occasion trail drizzle, we're pretty sure the large front organizer pocket and main compartment would get soaked after a while of ocean submersion. Better for your kid to take this Starfish on day hikes. *For ages 5-10."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The Starfish lets the junior day-hiker carry his or her own water, snack, and extra clothing."

From REI:
"Features an internal sleeve and hydration tube port for the 1.5 liter Nalgene a taste-free, bacteria-free hydration reservoir (included). Front mesh stash pocket with buckle release holds a hat, sunscreen or other often-used items. Organizer front pocket separates the small essentials such as snacks and found treasures. Padded back panel and contoured shoulder straps along with a webbing waistbelt distribute load evenly. Panel-loading main compartment is roomy enough for lunch and a layer of clothing. When your little hikers are ready to carry their share, this full-featured, comfortable hydration daypack is ideal for beginners."

"My son and daughter love their packs. Just big enough to carry some essentials. Kids will bite through the bite valve, but you can replace them with Nalgene replacement sheaths (part #2353-0012) 2/$4. Not a bad deal."

"My six-year-old daughter loves this pack! We do many day hikes and she insists on bringing it every time. Last summer we did a seven-mile round trip overnighter into the Wenaha Wilderness. She packed about 7 pounds total which include all of her clothes, hydration bladder, some snacks, her water bottle, and her flashlight."
