Is this bag suitable for a 9 yr. old boy weight approx. 85 lbs.

Yes. It will probably be pretty big for him, but it's super comfortable and you can't fully zip yourself in or anything.
270966
Yes, I believe so. I purchased it for an adult who is 5' 7" and about 150 lbs and it worked well.

Yes it would definitely be suitable, I used it for a family visit and my nieces and nephew used them. And they are around that age and height.

Yes. My son is 5 10 and has ample room and is also very comfortable. We highly recommend this product.

Hi Sharese B. I'm 5'9'' an 190 lbs and I have to adjust the shoulder straps in the medium position. I think the bag is a little big right now for your son. I recommend you look for a 40 or 45 litters backpack.

Possibly. My daughter is 5 and its perfect for her. I believe it may be a little small for a 9 year old.

Probably not, it's a pretty sturdy bag, it should hold as much as will fit.

In my opinion, yes. It is a very sturdy bag so the con is the weight. I use it for two kids under two and it gets fairly heavy but the plus side is that it fits everything well!

I bought the "large" bag for my 13 year old son - bantam major. It was a bit tight for all his gear, but worked. I think it would be really big for her.

It would be, its very big, youd be able to fit a small child in it. Shouldn't have a problem with multiple changes of clothes including shoes. side pockets could easily hold any shower gear/chargers for electronics you might wanna bring, but don't pack breakables... Bag can hold maybe 50+ lbs...

It currently holds my 8 yr old son's helmet, several baseballs, 1 bat, 1 water bottle, and 2 gloves, and there is still room left over. It's a nice size bag--a little big for my son actually. He will get to grow into it, which is what I was hoping for.

I have a 19month old and a 5wks old. I carry skiphop grand central which accomodates almost everything. It's quite roomy. I will not go for a bigger bag than this. I don't know about the other bag which you have mentioned.

No. The bag will not be too big. You should be fine, if you are at an average weight.

The bag should be the right size. The inside measures 17widex12deep. As long as it is not to thick it should fit.

Yes if your of average size, i.e. Not a kid or a little people. It is about as tall as a backpack most kids use as a school bag. There are straps on the bag to use for accessories as well. Great bag for using as a daypack on a hike or for hunting.

Not trying to be rude in any way here, but as long as he is average size and not "over wide", it should be fine. We plan on buying two more for our kids. The locking straps on this model are a GREAT feature.

Unless you are a regular weight lifter I wouldn't recommend it, and I am pretty sure he exceeds the weight limit, anyhow. I was no longer comfortable carrying my son for any length of time in a front carry after he was 15lbs; he's about 25 lbs and this *may* help a bit with a hip carry still. You should look for a toddler soft structured carrier (I think most are rated up to 40 lbs), or I think a Storchenwiege wrap could work. Either way, you'll have to shell out around $150-180 new for a carrier that will work for you. The structured carriers are very nice for back carries if you need to carry him for a longer period of time.

I think you would be OK, but agree that the height is critical. I have found that the shoulder straps stitching could be better.. all in all, not a bad bag..

This bag would not be too small for him. I am 5'8" and I have a lot of empty space at the foot end. Also, this bag is quite wider than most this shape giving me plenty of room to toss around.
