when closed, is the mini bag easy for a child to carry, that is, when closed, does the cord become two loops like handles? Hope my question is clear.

Depending on how you close it. They have to pull spring string stoppers but I also tie the left over string into a bow. It secure the opening a little more and provide easy handles. My 4 year old has no trouble carrying it this way. Note that with Legos the opening does not fully close, there will be space at the opening. We usually place something like the instructions book at the opening to seal it.

Yes, There is a zipper an a "O" ring at the end to put a small lock on it... Would be easy to pull that loop off though, but if your not leaving in unattended... it should be fine. If they want it, they can just walk off with the whole bag right. But all in all it's a really study/ruggard bag. Love mine...Comes to the range with the all the time!!

We have been able to close it with the gel case on BUT it is very, very snug. We have had this case for a year. It has held up well and worked fine when we only had a few games. On the plus side, it's a good size for my 4 y.o. granddaughter to carry; on the minus side, it would be nice to have a larger bag to hold all the accessories (chargers, games, headphones etc.) in one spot.

It closes fine but I have a 3 year old and he can easily get in it. My 11 month old can also pull it down but it's a,good size and looks nice. It's made for easy carrying and extends to hold more clothes so that may be why it doesn't secure tightly.

It is a mummy bag. It is sewn all are around save the opening at the top. It closes with a draw string. But think of it as a sack.

I haven't had a chance to use my bag yet, just ordered it a little bit ago for when I have my second child. I'm sorry you had trouble with your bag, I will be sure to look out for that with mine.

There is an elastic cord that fastens the small case closed. They are about the size of a cell phone.

It's not so much a matter of age as it is of child size. My four year old grandson stuffs all his plastic toy tools in all the pockets. He's taller then most his age but is slim. I've adjusted the belt as tight as I can make it and it's still a little large. Also the plastic buckle, similar to those on adult backpacks, seems to me to present a risk of pinched little fingers for a younger child. It hasn't occurred with our little guy.

This has straps on it like a backpack has. My daughter is way too little to use it as a backpack so for her it's perfect as rolling luggage. Our little one uses it weekly for trips to grandma's house. Maybe once she is four or five she will be able to use it as a backpack.

You are right, it doesn't fold closed. However, the handle slides off so you can store or pack them flat. Hope that helps.

I also would suggest one without the stool, it came make it a little uncomfertble on the bag. Unless you plan on using it for fishing or sone other activity that would require the child sitting, I would suggest one without the stool. Mibe is still holding up well though! I carry about 25lbs and use it almost daily on short 1-5 miles hikes.

I'm not really sure what problems you could actually be having. As long the bag is upright, and you give a decent tug at the handle, then it should come up with with relative ease. There is some resistance, but that is to make sure that the handle doesn't just fall back down. If the handle mechanism truly appears to be jammed, then you should return the product and ask for a replacement. I say ask for a replacement, because this really is a great bag in my opinion.

It will not go off unless you pull the trip cord. It's like a Hand Grenade. If you had the string hanging on the outside of your bag around your wrist and someone grabbed your bag then yes, it would go off inside the bag. I think better to have the alarm cord on your arm and if someone messes with you pull it and toss the alarm. It will continue to sound for one hour so that if you were knocked down the perp couldn't just stop the noise if you threw it out of reach. Well worth the small price for this much attention. Also, it would be comforting to someone to place one by the bedside if you hear something you could pull the cord and get that screaming alarm.

You may be seeing the loop that u use to carry the bag when it is transformed into its small packable, portable style. You use the loop to hook it to your belt or bigger bag, or just to carry it. It folds up real small. I hooked it to my bigger bookbag when we went to Rome, in case I bought something I would have an extra bag. I may be completely wrong, but that would be my guess if you are referring to the loop I am thinking of.

It kind of has a woopie cushion type neck that comes out, you tie it off with a rubber band. The end then tucks into the small whole (break in the colored piping). I thought it wouldn't work well, but mine had held up well. There are some small sand particles that will slip through the bag, but nothing too crazy.

There is no loop, just the 2 handles and an inside pocket the bag can be folded into.

Weird, I never noticed that in the picture. No, it does not have the strap and handle depicted when open. There is however a small handle (not nearly as nice as the one depicted) to assist with carrying it when it is closed. I do have the larger size (36 inches).
