Hehehe ... It's like you could see right into my son's backpack, which is similar to the maw of madness! Good ideas here - And you're right: isn't it funny how all those pockets are such a selling feature when we're shopping for the right back pack, but then our kids rarely even end up using them to their full advantage! Hmmm ... really must do something about that ... Thanks for the tips, and bringing the 'scary backpack' issue out of the shadows! =) No fair — you peeked!!

You might scratch the cover on a wheeled bag which will scrape the edge of the curb or stairs, so it would probably be best to do the traditional "lift it up and carry it" on a bag with tiny wheels.

I always look in his backpack before reaching in. I never know when a pencil will be sticking up just waiting for me to reach in. :) Thanks Deanna, My son is 8 and I have been working on him for some time and the concept of pockets still has not set in.
