The Rolling Backpack
Another Great Invention!

A rolling backpack is the answer to soothing your sore muscles and resting your aching back. Are you tired of lugging your heavy backpack around? There was a time when wheels were only on suitcases! Backpacks that roll have come a long way in a very short period of time. Quite frankly, one may wonder why they weren't invented sooner! Rolling back packs come complete with wheels and a handle, and are perfect for kids. In fact, kids' rolling backpacks are the hottest sellers in this subcategory of backpacks -- and if you've seen the homework children are saddled with these days, you'll understand why they can use backpacks on wheels! A rolling back pack is ideal for travel, both for children and adults; because they are convenient and easy to maneuver.

A back pack with wheels for everyone

Bags with wheels are great for urban environments, since they have no problem rolling right along on sidewalks and hard floors. They may not be so hot on carpet, snow, or grass, though. That's why it's a good idea to make sure the packs come with straps, hidden or otherwise. Rolling bags that turn into backpacks are especially good for children, whether around school or for their walk there and back. Just be sure not to let them overpack: according to experts, for something that might go on a kid's back, anything in excess of 20 percent of their weight is too much. That's not such a bad rule of thumb for adult backpacks, either.

Common rolling pack features

There are many different features common to rolling back bags. Among these include the following:

• Sturdy wheels
• Quality exterior & interior
• Pull out & collapsible handles
• Extra storage compartments

One of these days, we'll all have robots to carry stuff for us (back pack droids?), but until then we have to make do with nifty conveniences like back packs on wheels.
