teen rolling backpack
A teenage offspring of MellonC keeps destroying his rolling backpack. The offending part is always the pull out handles. I found out he was carrying like 5 text books in there and literally bouncing the darn thing going down the steps. Way too heavy! It must have weighted 35 lbs.
Anything out there that will survive this torture?

Nikidom Roller a product designed in South Africa is an interesting product for this kind of use. Not cheap though:

A little over $100 for the bigger version! It is supposed to be durable and easy to use up stairs as well as running with it due to the special handle and big wheels but it is not a back pack. Here is a video demonstrating it:
Here a quality control test:
This bag is popular in Spain and Poland.
As for back packs then perhaps these Chinese thingies can be of interest:

I do not know of the quality of those bags but are relatively inexpensive and the 3 wheel system made for stairs is detachable for when not needed.

Normal backpack is out of the question. The kid only weighs about 90 lbs. The bag was like 35 lbs. Too many full sized textbooks. They eat a whole Costco's worth of food every week but it all disappears into the thin air.......

Some of my friends bought their kids rolling backpacks from LL Bean that they are happy with. It also looks to be a single pole handle, but perhaps more sturdy than what he had before?
