I see people had knocked the Disney ones, however, my 2 kids are seasoned travelers, approximately 5 plane trips per year and probably 10 weekend trips per year. My daughter has had a Disney princess child size suitcase for 5 years now and it has less scuff marks than my bags do, this one is heavy cardboard with vinyl on top, on wheels. My son has had a Thomas suitcase that is real heavy canvas for 2 years now and it shows no wear at all.
