Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Kids Kids Deluxe Backpack

L.L. Bean makes the best backpack on the market, hands down! I have owned my backpack for over 15+ years, and it is still in excellent condition! So naturally, I purchased both of my kids these backpacks for school. The quality is still amazing, and my kids love them just as much as I do! I don't see is having to purchase backpacks for a very long time!!

My son has pleaded for the cheap character backpacks every year, and every year they rip. After his latest superhero backpack ripped two months into the school year we replaced it with the orange deluxe backpack. He's 8 and likes to bring extra books to school. He loves all the room in this backpack and I appreciate that his water bottle doesn't fall out. My daughter had the deluxe backpack for several years until she outgrew they nickname she had monogrammed on the outside.

This is the second backpack that I have bought for my twin boys who are high school sophomores. For one son, the first one lasted from 6th grade to just now in 10th until one of the straps began fraying. I purchased a new one for him and it is an updated, improved version with more pockets and water bottle mesh sides. The other twin is still using the original bag. I also purchased a matching lunchbox which one son still has and other other lost his in middle school! The lunchboxes are nice too. My sons really likes these backpacks. They are constructed well, sturdy and hold all their essentials. The first ones I have washed many times and let them drip dry and they were fine. I highly recommend this for your students.

My son was so excited to have a 'big kid' backpack just like his older siblings. Same quality with a few new perks.

My kids used this same backpack for over 20 years. Now their kids want the same one. Great quality.

I bought this for our now 40-year-old daughter when she was in high school. At some point, the zipper broke. I sent it back to L.L.Bean. The zipper was replaced free of charge. That was probably at least twenty years ago. She recently visited us for a weekend, packing her stuff in the same backpack that she has now had for more than *twenty* years. We got our money's worth when we purchased this for her!

11 Year old grandson loved the backpack. very spacey and comfy.

My grandson chose this backpack to start middle school And the color is perfect (black). He loves it and it holds all he needs. We had purchased this pack for his big sister 3 years ago for middle school and it has moved with her into high school. Great product.

I bought this backpack for my son because he needed more space for middle school. It's great because there is a place for everything! It has two large compartments and several smaller ones. I remember having this same backpack in college and it is the same great quality as always from LL Bean.

I work in the technology field so have had many back packs this one is so awesome light weight to start so that is great and the fit is so comfortable even when it has my 3 laptops, ipads, tool kit etc. would definetly buy another. Getting one for my son who is on his way to college next year.

I recently purchased my first backpack from LL Bean, even though I've been a Bean Customer forever and come from generations of Bean Customers. I am so, so impressed with the quality of the backpack. I am also impressed with how much stuff you can fit in the backpack. This backpack definitely give you a bang for your buck!

My son loves this backpack. He loves all the pockets and the padded insert to protect his laptop. He especially likes the pockets on the sides for his water bottle.

My old L L Bean backpack lasted me almost 12 years but the zippers finally were inoperative. I ordered the same model and it arrived exactly as orderd and when it was supposed to.

My son needed a new backpack going into 4th grade. He loved his previous shark one from llbean but he needed something with more room. This holds his lunch bag, school work, sweatshirt and soccer gear for after school with out being completely stuffed. It'll be great for winter gear as well. It's nice looking and much better quality than other sporty brands I've looked at. He loves it too.

my grandson is very pleased with his new backpack. Thanks for your service!

My son had this backpack from high school and when the zipper broke he needed a new one. Now that he is in his second year of college, he still wanted similar backpack, color, and even monogram. The monogram is important because he's almost had his backpack stolen---twice---yes, stolen not a "mistake" once you know the details. They just wanted the backpack. Can you believe it? Being a creature of habit and comfort all we changed was the font. Apparently we aren't the only ones who wanted this backpack.

Very functional but lightweight

Bought it for my granddaughter who is in third year High School. She carries many books and this bag is durable. Will last her a long time.

I bought this to use as a carry on for a recent trip to NYC. This was an exact replacement of my old backpack that I'd had for years, with some nice additions. Super roomy, was able to put everything in it that I couldn't fit in my suitcase. Great quality item, recommend 100%!

We actually made a mistake and bought this deluxe backpack for our five-year-old grandson as he started kindergarten. We were going to send it back if it was too big. However, he LOVES it, especially all of the "departments" (compartments.) And although it is big, it is not too big for him to wear to school each day.

First off, I had bought a 'design your own' backpack from LL Bean about 20 years ago. It was the best backpack I have ever had. Unfortunately, the inside was breaking up, making everything in it seem dirty and I needed a new one. I have tried all sorts of other ones from Timbuktu, Under Armour, Tumi, and NorthFace. No one was the one I needed. I came back to LLBean and I am thrilled. This model is lighter weight that the older one. But, just as good and sturdy. The shoulder harness is comfortable so carrying my laptop doesn't hurt. It has lots of room. I love it. My only wish would be for the little mesh holder that was sewed into the shoulder harness like the older model had. It was great to stick my cellphone into that so I could always see it.

Items were sent to a mission school. Not purchased for personal use. An LL Bean product; it is good!

This bag is for my elementary school kid. It's a great size and great quality. It holds all their stuff and is still comfortable.

We bought one for my husband a few months ago. It's very lightweight and has many pockets for organizing for travel. I liked it so much we went and bought one for me to travel with. By the time you pack what you have to carry on a plane, you don't need extra weight as the bag- this backpack is it. Doesn't hurt me carrying it loaded at age 56 either. Change of clothes, medicine, iPad, chargers, bottle of water and small purse to start.....then add any purchases on return trip :)

No more buying a new backpack every year. My kids have had 2 LL Bean backpacks each and the only reason for the 2nd was because they outgrew the elementary school sized ones. Got them both the Delux Bookpack for middle school and have never looked back. Monogramming is such a great addition to the backpack. It is incredibly sturdy - such great quality. I highly recommend this backpack to anyone looking to stop replacing flimsy backpacks every year. My kids love them. Got them the matching lunchbox and tech tote and am very happy with those as well. Stop debating and get this backpack today!! You will be glad you did!
