Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $35

I bought this pack for my 5-year-old son. I chose this pack over the others due to the fact that it had all of the features of adult backpacks plus a few kid friendly features including a waist belt with pockets, a bladder pocket, and cinch straps.

The chest strap even includes a built in whistle in case the child becomes lost. All zippers appear very sturdy and the price was more than fair
