Frankly - the Rocco would be my last choice for a school bag. The opening just isn't wide enough to fit a school book easily. You'd be lucky to fit maybe one small sized book in there. And forget about a notebook! Also, the weight of the bag itself would be way too cumbersome. If I add anything more than just my wallet, sunglasses and my small make-up bag it's painfully heavy. And I'm very very used to heavy bags.
Oh okay! Thanks so much for your input! I'm definitely not using the Rocco for school.
