We got this as a little trip back when our daughter was about 18 months. We wanted to use it to hold a few toys and things to do on car rides and things like that, and it is perfect. After she outgrew the diaper bag stage, it has worked wonderfully for day trip to grandma's house holding a change of clothes, the small bunny she sleeps with, and a couple other random items. She loves having her own bag, and I love that it is just her size and she can carry it around herself.
No, it's not large enough for kindergarteners. We'll probably try to keep it when she's in preschool, but I'm not sure it will be able to handle that. We will definitely still use it for car rides and such.
However, I wouldn't trade it- it holds snacks, a water bottle, gloves, hats, and toy cars. Works really well for school and on the "go." I also use one for my toddler when we didn't need a whole diaper bag. It holds several diapers, a wipes pack, first-aid baggie, extra outfit, socks, a few books, small magnadoodle; plenty of room for snacks, bibs, spoons, and a sippy cup on the side. If it's not too full, she can carry it on her back quite well. Well done, Skip Hop!!
