Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Kids Kids Deluxe Backpack

Awesome backpack. I use it for flights or when hiking. Three sections to keep stuff organized. There's a nice pocket in the middle section that is lined with soft fabric- I keep my phone, watch in here. I'm actually planning to buy the smaller version for my kids next year for school.

Excellent quality back pack. Purchased one of these years ago. Lasted many years (5-6). It finally wore out and we just ordered a new one. Glad to see they are still making it.

This deluxe back pack is very spacious. My grandson loves his color and initials he picked out. Very satisfied. I have relied on L.L Bean for my kids packs for over 20 years. They last for many years. My daughter still has hers from 15 years ago.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, you guys added the outer pockets for water bottles. Perfect!!

I purchased this backpack for my daughter who just entered 6th grade. I was looking for a durable backpack that could last her into her college years, and I think I've found the right one! This backpack is large and roomy and can easily fit all of her school supplies, folders, notebook, planner, binder, and matching lunchbox inside. There is an interior pocket for a cell phone that also has space for a charger which will be a great feature when she gets a phone next year. The key fob inside the front pocket is useful for bus riders as well. I don't worry about items getting lost when she's using this backpack. It seems comfortable for her and I haven't heard any complaints about the fit so far. My only real complaint is that the mesh bottle holders on the sides aren't as well suited for tall water bottles - her water bottle sometimes falls out when the backpack is jostled around. Luckily this doesn't detract from the other amazing features of this bag. It's a good value for what you spend and well worth the cost.

Always great doing business with ll bean great product an super service

I love this backpack, it has tons of space, multiple pockets, the straps are comfortable, and my 5th grade loves it too!

This is one of the best made backpacks I have ever purchased. I got it for my 6th grader it holds everything she needs and more.

I have purchased many of these book bags through the years for my children and grandchildren. They are excellent quality and last a long time. Highly recommend.

This backpack fits all my son's school things. It seems to be great quality.

I bought and llbean book bag for my daughter when she went to middle school. She is now 32 years old and still has the same bookbag. It was made with excellent quality. I am now going to buy 2 bookbags for my grandkids. I plan for them to keep them also along time.

I was looking for a backpack for my son going into middle school and remembered that I still have my LL Bean backpack from college (18 years ago) and it's in great shape. My son loves this bag and I see him using it through middle school and possibly high school. Very durable, great color, definitely a good quality for the money.

i order new ones of these each year for my grandkids and have never been dissappointed. they hold up better than any i have seen. actually they still have the previous years ones that could be used again with no problem but just like to get them a new design each year.

This bookbag is nice. But, it is a shame that they got rid of the light purple purple, pink, and brilliant blue. The only color they have for girls is mint green. The color is nice, but please consider making more color choices for girls to choose from. I'd like to see Sky Blue and Lime Green return. I know you don't make changes to the books bags expect for once a year. But, could you please consider at Christmas to releasing some more colors for both boys and girls to have a more variety of color choices to pick from.

Absolutely love this backpack. This is my second backpack from 'LL Bean and my son's last backpack lasted him 4 yrs longer than the other brand purchased. This one love the material very durable, waterproof, and love the addition of the pockets for water bottles. His last one did not have this. The other thing about the backpack I love is the inside pockets even the one pocket has a zipper pocket for his ear buds and change. Very happy with this purchase.

I got this for my oldest daughter last year for 3rd grade. It still looks brand new, and she carried everything in it. I just ordered another for my middle daughter, because they hold up so well. We got the jr backpacks for all 3 kids when they started pre-K, and they use those for sleepovers and travel. We liked them so well that there was no question about ordering the bigger ones. The colors and the prints are awesome!

I have had my original LL Bean bookbag since college (20+ years ago). I had finally worn it out and snagged a hole in the bottom. I bought this one to replace that bag which had been so good to me through the years. It's been on every adventure I have had. I'm confident this new bag will be with me for 20+ more. Thanks for making such good quality products.

I purchased one of these when my child was in preK.... shes 13 now and it looks as IF its 2mths old. This book bag is a GREAT buy

Love this backpack. So glad you added drink mesh holders on side. I buy these for my grandchildren's diaper bags and then they have a great overnight bag when they have outgrown the need for diaper bag!

I bought it for my seventh grade son. It has plenty of room. There is a place for his water bottle and it is sturdy.

Last time I bought I deluxe bookpack was probably 2004, and at that time it was fairly unchanged from the ones I bought through the 90s. I've held on to that one and used it periodically through the years when I worked at camps or traveled or hiked. This past weekend I went away and pulled my old trusty bag off the shelf. I forgot how much I loved it and how easy it was to organize, and it made me realize how frustrated I've been with my single-water bottle holding jansport. I thought on the way home "if they make this bag with two water bottle holders now, I'd never need another bag." Thanks to the future we live in, I got a targeted ad for this bag THE NEXT DAY! With great coupons to boot! I ordered it immediately and boy was I pleasantly surprised when it came in! Everything is better than you remember. The straps curve and have more cushion. There's a waist strap. There's a laptop sleeve in the main compartment. There's an iPad or otherwise screen friendly fleece lined sleeve in the second compartment. The reflectors are... different, and I assume use a better technology. There are two water bottle holders that are big enough to hold my 32 oz nalgenes. The bottom appears reinforced. I'm so excited. I'll use it for hiking and the beach and traveling. I'm in my 30s. My husband ordered one immediately when I opened it. Don't hesitate. Buy it!!!

I have purchased three backpacks for my son during his time in school all these years; they have all been from LLBean. The ONLY reason I have had to purchase new ones is because he simply wants a new design / color. His last backpack he has carried for the last two years and it has zero tears and nothing is broken on it. Sure, it could use a good wash, but that's because the boy is ROUGH! I keep coming back to LLBean because the quality of their merchandise is unsurpassed. I highly recommend their backpacks!

Great quality backpack - color and monogram awesome!

I love this backpack for my kids! My 13 year old has had the same one for five years and it looks brand new still and has no rips even starting. My 9 year old has had the same one since kindergarten. Just ordered my kindergarteners first one! Seriously buy this backpack!!! You will love it and save money in the long run not having to buy a new one year after year.

I brought this for my son when his was stolen. He and my daughter have had one since junior high school! My daughter uses hers when traveling and she has 2 children now! You won't wear it out but I can't guarantee someone won't take it!!
