A little smaller than expected
February 28, 2012
Not as big as I was expecting but it will work. Love the side pockets. Great size for a school backpack.

My favorite backpack
February 15, 2012
I am delighted that the backpack is so right for a 5 year old grandson. He is crazy for dinosaurs. I love the blue colors and the personalized name looks great.

GREAT backpack!
February 4, 2012
It's well made, roomy, and the embroidery is very well done! I bought 2 of these; one for my grandson and the other for my great-nephew. (both were well received by their mommy's as they are both toddlers) They've used them for daycare, an airplane ride, and the beach - quite versatile!

Cute backpack
February 2, 2012
I was looking for a backpack for my son - he's almost a year old - just wanted something to put toys in ans use as an overnight bag. This is what I was looking for: many pockets, large enough to hold clothes and toys, and a cute but boyish design.

Waited sooo long to buy this and very disappointed
November 2, 2011
I have always browsed through the PBK catalog and could not wait until my son was old enough to purchase his backpack for Kindergarten. I have to say that I am VERY disappointed with this product and the lunch box as well. As I said, my son is a Kindergarten and does not put a lot of "wear and tear" on his things. The backpack already has unraveled on the bottom along the piping and the lunchbox has a tear on one of the seams. He has only used it for 9 weeks.

Excellent Backpack with room to grow!
October 26, 2011
I bought this backpack for my 7 year old 2nd grader. It is a perfect size for him, with plenty of room to grow into over the next few years. He loves that his name is engraved on it and that it is covered with his favorite thing... (tastefully, I might add) - soccer balls. Seems very durable.

Best Backpack Ever!
October 19, 2011
Fantastic backpack! We love it! Darling contrasting stitching for my sons name! He thinks it's a super cool bag because of the soccer stuff on it and his red name, and I think it's great because it fits EVERYTHING in such a compact, and easy to carry sized backpack for him! Thank you Pottery Barn for coming up with the best backpack ever! We will never go back!

So far SO Good!
October 2, 2011
Good quality, large enough for lot's of books. Like the large because it holds so much: lunch, books, jackets, hats, toys, swim towel..... the midsize OK, this one holds more books and he's only a 2nd grader. It will be too big/awkward looking if yr child's on the small size, but is very rugged for kids.

Straps unraveling after 6 weeks of use
September 22, 2011
We have the Navy Dino-- it is a great size but in just 6 weeks one of the straps is shredding and will soon be unable to keep the arm strap in place. We have a matching retro lunch box with the same issue to the handle. Last year similar items lasted all year long without issues...bummed.

Best backpack
September 14, 2011
We love Pottery Barn Kids backpacks. They are extremely durable (and still look great after 2+ years). I love the personalization. This year my son chose the soccer print with orange lettering. He loves it. You won't be disappointed.

Great Backpack?
September 14, 2011
I ordered this backpack for my 7 year old son. He absolutely loves it! I had it personalized with his name and it looks much better in person than it does on the website. It is sturdy and the quality is great, with lots of great pockets. We both love it and I think I will order his backpacks from pb kids from now on.

Dino Backpack
September 12, 2011
I love this backpack. I actually bought the lunchbox first and my son liked it so much that he asked for the matching backpack. If you are wavering between the large and small backpack and your child is in kindergarten - definitely get the large backpack.

Gray Soccer Backpack and Lunch Bag
September 10, 2011
This is my third set from PBK for my son entering 2nd grade. I LOVE the soccer pattern/color and I expect it will hide the dirt well through the year (he had the Blue Camo set all last year and they still look brand new!). However, upon opening the soccer backpack I immediately noticed the material was thinner and felt cheaper than the previous backpacks I bought-it won't even stand up alone/empty compared to the other two we have :( But the last two Mackenzie lunch boxes have held up perfectly!!!

My High School son is using this backpack and really likes that it has a soccer pattern and his personalized nickname on it. He wishes it was bigger.

Excellent quality, happy with purchase
September 6, 2011
A bit expensive but worth the money. It is very well made with quality material. I got my son the Dino one and it's adorable! I had purchased one at a store and one month later it was already ripping... Then I bought this one. U can just tell the huge difference. This one is sturdy and I'm sure it will last him a long time. It's cheaper than having to replace cheap backpacks at the store all year long! I will be getting another 2 backpacks for my younger kids, I'm sold!
