Is this ideal for a 9 year old girl to use as a school bag?

Yes, has compartments for a drink, pens/pencils, generous main space for books, papers, etc.

Even though this is a very good Messenger bag, I do not think it would withstand the daily use in a school environment for much time.

I don't know...it's well made, but as I said in my review, it's huge. I'm a relatively large man and it's big for me to carry around. (I'd return it if I could). I would continue looking for something smaller. There's gotta be more choices for a child. Pay special attention to the dimensions.

it's a pretty big purse. fits my digital camera and accessories. I don't know how many school books it would fit, but it'll fit a few reading books

Yes, it a smaller bag, good for an 8 year old. We took them to the beach with us and took fabric markers and made fun totebags!!

Yes it would be. I use mine as a "school bag" carrying a 3" anatomy/physiology book, papers, handouts, etc.

Absolutely! This bag is very large. It doubles as my bag for school. 4 college level books with a two inch binder and I still have room for a snack, my wallet, and other incidentals.

Definitely! My 3 year old is long out of diapers and I still use this bag because it holds so much, it's functional, and still looks good! Will hold sneakers and more!

I guess it depends on what you want. I have a small 8 year old and the bag is definitely too big for him, but not unmanageable. I feel like we will be able to grow with it. However, if you want it more of an appropriate fit, you might want to go with the youth.

I got this bag for my nine year old granddaughter, she is a bit on the padded side (child size 16) and she loves it. It should last her a couple more years at least. Plenty long enough to snuggle down in. She loves it. Seems to be well made and can take several washings already.

I am sure the 9 year old boy will fit inside this pack but it would be a tight squeeze.

Its big enough for letter and legal size folder. and it will hold upright well, the material is thick and hard compare to a regular tote bag and also heavy. Don't know how thick is your books, may not hold too many. 1-2 should be ok. Aubergine color is more like dark purple. The bag looks great for guys, may be too big and heavy for ladies. In General is a great bag, good material and excellent finishing, stitching are all good. looks like a over $200 dollars bag.

I think it would work well for a school bag. It's a little larger than the typical school bags, but not much. It has two large compartments that would be good for dividing different subjects. More heavy duty than a standard pack.

It sounds to me as though you're looking for the same thing I was when I bought this bag. I do property inspections so I carry camera, tape measure, small notebook, small light, etc and honestly I had high hopes for this bag and it failed miserably for my purposes. I'm sure it's a great school bag but it doesn't have the reinforcements necessary to hold it's shape or provide easy access. Don't get this bag for what you're doing. I bought a UTG Multi-functional Tactical bag and it's perfect. I also like the Bestek SLR DSLR Canvas bag for what you're doing both of these bags I got from Amazon. I carry either depending on my location. Good luck and I hope this helped.

I don't think the style would be too young (it's very cute!), but is it a bit on the smaller side. Not sure it would store enough stuff for a class. It's perfect for my son's bedroom, he loves it.

This is a big binder. If you are using a good sized backpack it would fit, but the average school backpack would be quite a squeeze. This is also very heavy when used so if you have to carry it a lot, I'd choose a different direction. It has lots of built-in pockets etc so perhaps you could put everything in the binder in lieu of carrying a backpack at all.

No, it should be a great fit. I bought it for my daughter when she was four and she is still using it at age six with plenty of room. This is one of her favorite toys. It is very soft and has a large zipper pocket for treasures.

Absolutely, that's exactly what I used it for on my last trip. It is very durable. I have a thing for bags and this is my favorite. I even ordered another one and use it for school.

The bag is a little bigger than a standard school backpack. More wide than tall. Most swimmers on our team have this bag. My daughter is a somewhat petite 10 yr old and she carries it all the time. It's big on her, but not too big. She rides her bike a mile to swim practice and back every day with this backpack. It's a great bag.
