My 5 year old son, who is mad about Gormiti, was delighted with this birthday present! It seems to be a hardwearing material and good padded straps - only time and use will tell! The photo is true to reality - (though unfortunately websites only show the front view! I wanted to see the quality/style of the straps before I ordered it). Unfortunately for the item ratings, 'fun' and 'eductional value' don't really seem to apply to a bag! It misses a 5 star overall for me as I'd have preferred a printed photo directly onto the fabric rather than the plastic one(which i feel makes it look 'cheaper')
