Big backpack but not functional
February 19, 2013
I was so excited to get this backpack for my son, I know how popular these are among parents. I could not believe there is only one big compartment and one tiny pocket in the front. My son has to fit all his school stuff in a single compartment, we've had $10 backpacks that were more functional than this. The compartment in the back is only to hold the straps and you can't use it for anything else because it won't close without the straps tucked in.

Nice backpack, although not holding up
January 30, 2013
I purchased the preschool-sized backpack for my toddler son a year ago. We've been using it a few times a week for preschool/church. He does not actually wear the backpack and it usually goes from sitting in our house to sitting on a shelf at preschool.
I just noticed that the material is starting to pull apart on one of the arm straps. I was pretty surprised at this, as it does not really receive much wear or tear at all.
The backpack is adorable, so I'm bummed it didn't hold up as well as I thought it might. We also bought the lunchbox to go with it and it has received a good deal of wear and tear and is holding up great. Perhaps I just happened to get a dud with the backpack.

Home Run but not white baseballs
January 30, 2013
This really is a great backpack and perfect for your little slugger; however, in the picture the baseballs appear to be white when in reality they are a greyish color- seems like it looks a bit dirty which I didn't like at first, but it has grown on me and it now doesn't bother me- if anything it probably helps hide dirt due to the color- I did not get the embroidery but hear the reds don't match.

Nice size and quality
January 1, 2013
We bought this backpack as a Christmas gift for our grandson. He and his mother were quite pleased with the size and quality. Of course, the personalization just makes it that much better for a soon-to-be kindergartner!

The Small is small
December 9, 2012
I ordered the small back back and it was the same size as the pre school size my son had. If you are looking for a back pack for elem. school by the medium. I should have used the measurements. The quality is great!

Perfect Pre-School Backpack
September 28, 2012
After reading the other reviews I was sceptical as to what size I was going to buy for my 2.5 year old. I decided on the pre-school size and I am so glad I did. It is the perfect size for him, even at 36" tall. It is able to fit everything that he needs to take to pre-school (no lunch). Even though you cannot fit a lunch box in the backpack, I would imagine it would be to heavy for a 2 year old to carry comfortably by themselves. Overall - this was a great quiality backpack and just right for pre-school. I will definitely order again in the future.

Nice backpack but beware monogram does not match
September 19, 2012
This is a nice backpack, and my son likes it a lot. However, I was disappointed that the red thread for monogram does not come close to matching the red in the backpack. The thread is a bright red, and the backpack has a deep darker red color.

Love it!
September 11, 2012
We just got this backpack in today and it is wonderful! My 16 month old started Mother's Day Out and I ordered this to send with him. I am glad I read the reviews first and went ahead and ordered the small -- it is the perfect size so I imagine the Preschool size would be way too small. This backpack and a retro lunchbox for my daughter were our first PBK purchases and I am thrilled, the quality is excellent and the bags are perfect-- and I am picky about the shapes/sizes/pocket number on our bags. I had this one personalized and it is so cute! This backpack will last him a long time. The shipping was lightning fast as well -- I just got the email yesterday that it had shipped and it was on my doorstep by noon today. I will definitely be ordering a backpack for my kindergartner too!

Preschool Backpack
August 22, 2012
I ordered this baseball backpack for my 2 & 1/2 year old son. He is going to preschool this fall. He is fairly tall for his age (37.5"), but the preschool backpack sounded like the size we needed. Unfortunately, it is VERY small. It is WELL MADE and arrived amazingly fast. The embroidery looks great also. We're going to try to get by with this little bag since I had it personalized, but if your child is taller than 36" order the small! I almost did, but it was on backorder and opted for the preschool size. Oh well, lesson learned. Great product though!! My fault for not ordering the right size!

Too small!
August 21, 2012
I ordered the preschool backpack for my 3-year-old - it's smaller than most of his lunchboxes! SOOO disappointed. Because it's personalized, I can't return. On the phone as I type trying to cancel the lunchbox which was on backorder - assuming it's even smaller and not going to work.

Excited but a little disappointed.
August 1, 2012
Every year we buy a new backpack and lunchbox weather we need it or not. I have recommended these backpacks to many friends and relatives because the quality is great and they last. We still use our 1st backpack which is now 3 years old. My 2nd grader is loving his new baseball backpack and retro lunchbox. We both noticed right of the bat that the inside pocket/divider is missing this year. This is our 3rd consecutive year to purchase these backpacks and we both were a little disappointed that this was taken out this year. We always used that back pocket as a way to keep his homework separate from other papers and to also store his laptop while on vacation. Please add the inside pocket/divider back. The quality is what keeps us coming back so please don't start skimping now.

Monogramming Suggestion..
July 27, 2012
I wanted the monogramming to match with the stitching of the ball, so I choose color red. It's way too bright and I would suggest a darker red to match. Otherwise it's a great little bag and my little boy LOVES it.
