Where can I buy wheeled backpacks for girls?

admin — Sun, 08 May 2011 21:16:00 +0000

I’m looking for girl wheeled backpacks. I like the ones that are colorful and have colors like pink, green, yellow, white, those colors. I went to Target and Big 5 and there were none of them. There were only hiking ones and ugly boy ones. I need one for school! My family went looking EVERYWHERE yesterday. HELP!
I don’t want to buy online.
