Love the size and durability of this pack. My daughter has used it for p/t preschool and nearly a year of kindergarten (where it gets a little abused) and it still looks brand new. It fits a regular sized folder well (this is required for a lot of schools since they put a folder in and it stays there for school/home correspondence).
Also love the size; I see a lot of kids with backpacks that far too big for them, but this one fits her perfectly. Cute too (we have the woodland critters version). It has just enough pockets to put extras, but not too many to make finding things difficult. Younger daughter will be starting school next year and we'll definitely be getting her the same kind!
I purchased this backpack for my 3 yr son, who will be starting Preschool this year. I have looked all over for a backpack that will last a few yrs until he is in Kindergarten. This is the one! We just received it the other day, and it fits him PREFECT! I love the color (Royal Blue), and the compartments on the outside of the backpack, we also added his name to it. I've seen other brand name backpacks, that only have enough room to put in a change of clothes and snack ,that are more money. This LLBean backpack has enough room for, books, change of clothes, snacks and more!
LLBean has great quality merchandise, great pricing & return policy. If you are looking for a backpack for a Preschooler, this is the one.
I got this when my now 3 year old was an infant...simply because it was cute and on sale. I started using it immediately for all of her daycare stuff that we needed to take weekly with all of extra and needed items. On mondays I pack it with her clean blankets, animal and extra clothes and on fridays they fill it for me to take home for the wash. It still looks brand new. She can even carry it herself now, and she thinks she is big. Im sure this will be her kindergarten backpack in a few more years. I had llbean backpacks as a child too...and they were the only ones I didnt have to replace.
This bag is the PERFECT size for preschoolers! It's small enough that our almost 4 year old can wear it comfortably (and it doesn't look odd) but it's big enough that she can actually put things in it. I'd say this size would be perfect for pre-k up to 1st or 2nd grade. Maybe longer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
