Great Quality!
February 21, 2013
I bought this as a gift and was very pleased with the quality. The associate I spoke to advised to get this size rather than the preschool backpack since that one only accommodates very small items and the small backpack will hold more items including books and folders for later. The persoanlization was also of great quality. Very clear in the orange color I chose and stitching was top-notch. I would defintely recommend this product!

Very disappointed for the price
February 6, 2013
I bought the larger backpack for my son who is in 4th grade, and he doesn't have very much homework and never carries big books home. The seam is coming apart on the top of the bag and it now has a huge hole. The bag began coming apart in December and just keeps getting worse. I am so disappointed that a bag for $70 can't even last a full school year. He takes car of it, its not abused or thrown around. I will be shopping for a new backpack somewhere else and would not recommend Pottery Barn bags to anyone.

Preschool backpack
December 11, 2012
This is a great little backpack, but it is small. It is the size of my older son's lunchbox, also from potterybarn. It fits perfectly on the back of my two year old, and it can fit some diapers and an outfit if you're wanting it for a mother's day out program. It will not hold a lunchbox though. The backpack very well made, as well as the small or large backpacks.

Great for Little Man
December 4, 2012
Perfect gift for my best friend's little man. He's only 5 months right now, but we got a girly one for our two year old that she's been using to go to playcare for a year and she loves it! Great quality! Two thumbs up. The sharks and fish are fun and the colors are sharp and clean. The personalization looks good too in orange!

Small size is perfect for preschool
October 18, 2012
I ordered the small size and it is perfect for a 3 or 4 year old in preschool. The print is so cute! I ordered the matching lunchbox and it fits inside the bookbag along with a change of clothes and a folder. I am going to order another one for my younger son but I'm trying to wait unitl they go on sale.

Great quality backpack!
August 5, 2012
Knowing that the pottery barn backpacks are a bit small, I decided to just go ahead and order the large backpack which is perfect for preschool AND elementary school. My son is 6 and he loves his new backpack. The padded shoulder straps are comfy on his shoulders.

cute backpack but way too small
July 31, 2012
I was so excited to order this backpack for my 3 year old who will be attending preschool this fall. When the item arrived I was very disappointed in its size- it is TINY! I can barely fit a change of clothes in it let alone a drink and snack.
