Rolling backpack for adults/taller people?

[matrips]

Anyone have one?  How tall are the handles and is a comfortable height for teenage males?  I don’t want them to have to be bent over to roll it, so I want a good stable one with a long enough handle. This would be if I can convince them to use it for high school next year (just diagnosed with scoliosis).  So willing to get a decent one.  Any suggestions on features to look for that make it easier for classroom/campus use?  Most of the campus has one story buildings, no steps.   only one building has stairs but that one also has an elevator.  

Brands/models or links welcome! 🙂. Thanks.

I had my DS16 rolled my backpack as he is the tallest. The handle when fully extended is 1 meter from the ground, reach near his belly button. Link is the one I have since it can accommodate my old 17” laptop. https://www.amazon.com/Samsonite-Wheeled-Backpack-Black-Charcoal/dp/B002DF77OW

I am short so it is easy for me to push or pull. However it is heavy so DS16 usually helps me to lift it up one flight of library stairs to get to the reference section. My teens prefer not to use the library elevators even pre-Covid.

Heights of handles vary - but you should be able to find that information in the stats for the backpack.  Some are great for tall people, others, not so much.

Thank you for that!  I added it to my cart.  We’ll give it a try and see what they think.

You would think that would be part of the product information, but I haven’t found handle length mentioned. Or overall height when extended.

The overall height is not mentioned. These are the others I have tried in store. I went to Office Depot, Staples and others to try them out.  I only went with my Samsonite because my laptops are 17” and 15.4”.

These take 15” laptop

The Zuca is very popular in my neck of the woods. It also doubles as a seat when waiting for a parent to pick up 🙂

My son has one with light up wheels!
