My daughter really likes the LL Bean Rolling Deluxe back pack but it doesn't have a water bottle holder on the side. Any recommendations for another good rolling back pack with a water bottle holder?

We have a garnet hill rolling backpack that has the 2 mesh pockets on the sides to hold water bottles.

I just checked the site, and it looks like the only pattern currently listed in a rollie backpack from Garnet Hill is the one with ponies. We have a polka dot one from a year or two ago, so I know they often have multiple patterns - in case that isn't the pattern you wanted, I've found that their customer service is very helpful in terms of letting you know when they will have other products in, etc.

Bookmarking! DD1 also wants a rolling backpack, and she loves the GH designs but she wanted the peace signs not the ponies. Bummer that they only have one option. We saw the Hanna rolling backpack in store and she LOVED it. Both GH and Hanna are $$$! Hanna also has the water bottle pockets.

Thanks for the Garnet Hill rec! We had the Hanna rollie this past year but it's on the small side and often found ourselves out of space for all her books and things.

PBKids rollies appear to have water bottle pockets. Here's an example:

Are they allowed to having rolling backpacks?

Yes, they are allowed to have them. Looking at all these recs, there is a wide range of size differences between the smallest (Hanna) and the largest (LL Bean). Garnet Hill one looks like a decent size but not sure if she will like that pattern. Wish they had other options!

I just got the one from Lands End. It arrived 2 days ago. Super nice and water bottle pockets on both sides. I like it a lot!
