Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Kids Original Book Pack 24L Print

We started with the glow in the dark backpack last year and after seeing the abuse that it withstood from a first grader, we had to buy another "backup." We went with the original (camo landscape) this time and it feels just as sturdy! Theeen we bought one more (shark print) for our son who isn't even in school yet so that he could have a bag for going to the grandparent's house overnight. We won't go with another brand as long as these are available!

The granddaughter was very pleased with her new book pack and lunch box. Not her first Bean book bag and she still got a big smile on receiving it. More importantly, it was Mother approved. A winner all around.

Great bag. Looking forward to my son getting good use out of it.

Absolutely perfect for my granddaughter. I know the quality and it will be great for all her school needs

I purchased this backpack for my niece who'll be starting kindergarten, shes tall for her age so chose this over the junior original. I had purchased one for my son in preschool and he had his up through 8th grade. So I know hers will last her for years to come. The shoulder straps are strong and sturdy, zippers are excellent quality, the fabric is durable, and she is thrilled with all the pockets and compartments. LL Bean backpacks are always 100% reliable. Would never use anything else. (I even have my own for travel, etc.)

We love the colors and durability of LL Bean and this bag is the perfect size for my kindergartener to use up until middle school.

My new kindergartener loves her new big girl backpack. It should last her about 3-4 years (size wise) if I had to guess. We had the junior backpack the last two years for preschool and it was the perfect size for preschool. This bag can comfortably fit folders and notebooks and a lunch box where as the junior backpack was a tight fit.

My sons have old LL Bean backpacks that they have been using for the past 4 years! (no rips, zippers still work, etc.) I decided to get them new backpacks because its been so long & they need bigger bags not because of a quality issue. These bags may be more expensive than a lot of bags out there but they last SO much longer. My sons love their new backpacks & I'm happy because they are sturdy & appear like they will last for years to come.

I am a mom to 5 adult children and I am carrying on the tradition of LLBean backpacks for my Grandchildren! I bought this for my first Grandson who will be starting kindergarten this fall. They hold up to lots of dragging around and wash great! I highly recommend these backpacks! Lunch boxes too!

My granddaughter loves her backpack! Her brother had one I bought she liked his so much she asked me to get her one ... I have bought them for all 4 grandchildren... they love the drink holder on the side pocket!

Good size for younger students. I bought one for my son when he entered kindergarten and it is still in perfect shape as he enters second grade. We bought this one for my daughter in anticipation of its continued durability.

My granddaughter had a red one for preK - 1st grade, and is starting second grade with her new print backpack, she's very pleased. All three of my grandkids have LL Bean backpacks, they shop online with me and pick out their own designs and monograms. They all love them, what more can I say? Kid approved!

Not too big but big enough to carry it all! Great quality, lots of organizing pockets, and I love the pattern!

I got so many emails asking for a review. Calm down guys! It is a backpack with straps and pockets and is made of fabric. Seems good.

We got this for my son's 5th birthday. We've only had it for about a week, but it has lots of space, and an interesting pattern. Only problem with the dinosaur pattern is that there's an elephant chilling with them. My son did notice, but fortunately didn't mind. Just in case anyone's kid is a stickler out there.

I like to use something for a bit before I write a review. This has been in use for 3 months for a Kindergartener... everything about it is perfect EXCEPT for that little flap that "covers" the zipper. That thing gets caught in the zipper constantly!!! It's just at the wrong size so it matches up and gets caught. My solution has been to bend it backward and use large safety pins to secure it back out of the way. That was my second idea, as opposed to cutting it off which I feared would make a mess of it. So, if they could solve that issue, I would buy this same bag each year. As is, I wouldn't buy another or recommend it.

While Paxton loves his alligator backpack and is pleased with the quality, it is rather large for a kindergartener.

Roomy and sturdy backpack with a cute design. Material seems strong to withstand the hardships that children put backpacks through.

Excellent quality materials. Needs a taller water bottle holder - so short only small containers stay put. A second bottle holder or open side pocket would also be a good addition.

Decent quality backpack. Fabric seems a bit thin, but the pattern is great and there are lots of pockets

Great backpack. High quality like you'd expect from LL Bean. My daughter loves loading it up and told me every thing she was going to put in each pocket. The only reason it's not 5 stars is the Internet listing wasn't quiet true to color. This led to get name being kind hard to read. Still loved it, wouldn't trade it.

Good, sturdy pack. What I feel it's missing is a second water bottle pouch on the other side and a strap on each side handy for clipping wet or soiled things to.

Seems like it will be great but I wish it had a chest strap.

The print was very cheery & pretty. But the straps were hard and stiff. The backpack also felt heavy on my back, bc I used it as a book bag. Unfortunately, I returned it due to the straps and the weight.

It nice but wish it had an extra packet for water bottles, it has only one on the side . I won't get it again just because of that please llbean change that because it's off balance when the bottle is placed . I needs two . Color is nice and fabric is good . Zipper is good we have it for a year but next year I get other one with two water bottles storage .
