Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Kids Kids Deluxe Backpack

Our 11 year old Grandaughter had this item on here Christmas list. I ordered it and it arrived very quickly. A happy young lady on Christmas morning!

Bought this backpack in the light purple color. Love the size with the capacity and compartment to hold a lot of stuff. Plus, its good quality. I would buy again.

We buy the Book Packs for our granddaughters. They like the packs we bought them 3 years ago and wanted a different color one for this school year.

Lots of space, compartments and pockets. Zippers work easily. Overall a well made product.

This was not a durable backpack. With two months of having it, the top handle ripped. LL Bean was great about allowing the return and giving store credit.

My son loved this book bag. He loves all the pockets and the fact thats its his favorite color.

The bag lasted less than 12 weeks. Zipper is useless.

Our second one of these for our second son, its pretty much the perfect backpack for middle school!

My daughter loves this book bag. Plenty of room for all of her stuff plus some.

Absolute disappointment. I bought two of these backpacks this summer and the zipper is constantly sticking on both of them. Zipper keeps getting stuck on the fabric that covers the zipper. Its a bad design! Why does a zipper need to be covered anyway? So disappointing for how much these backpacks cost!

Bottle holders ripped after a few days of usage, apparently this is common

This book bags zipper has already broken & the bag is unusable. Is there anyway it can be replaced?

Had an L.L Bean original backpack as a kid over 30 years ago and loved it. Needed a backpack again for travel and thought Id get another (but larger) one. I love it, holds so much and is quite sturdy!

This bag although sized at 9.5 inches deep barely fits my 10 yr old's 5th graders books, folders, notebooks. It is such a tight fit that I have too fix it for him every evening/morning to strategically place his school supplies. Would not recommend for child age 13 & up as recommended, unless they have lockers and/or use a ChromeBooks at least 90% of the time (meaning very lfew items to put in the bag daily- this bag cannot fit a lot). App wouldnt allow me to upload pics.

Bought for my daughter. She was not very happy with the way the straps fit around her neck but otherwise was a great purchase

Very disappointed to see that one of the outside mesh pockets already has a hole and my daughter has only been in school since August 17th. I grew up using these bags and they were nearly indestructible. I kept them for many, many years.

needed one for hunting this was emrodierd wrong i guess so..

Quality has really gone down. I started purchasing these backpacks 20 years ago. They lasted forever and could really take the abuse that teens give out. Now they aren't flimsy and noticed made well. I doubt this latest backpack will last 4 months. I will definitely be shopping around for a less expensive option.

It felt like the straps at the top are too close so it pinches the neck a bit, so I gave it to my son.

This is a large backpack that is well made & has lots of room for everything, with just the right number of compartments to prevent items from getting lost inside. However, the straps are very stiff and this is surprisingly uncomfortable to wear.

Lots of room, but waist belt strap broke away from the pack almost immediately

Bag arrived with the stitches on the right shoulder strap not securing the strap to the bag. Quality control evidently missed it when the bag was made and when the bag was monogrammed. It's still a "good" L.L. Bean book pack but the company is better than this. Their standards are higher and these types of issues are unacceptable. The L.L. Bean I grew up with is sadly becoming a thing of the past.

It is a great pack...but the material scratches quite easily, leaving marks.....After 2 days of use (I am super careful), I have scratch marks on the fabric.

It fits a great deal of items and is light weight to carry, but we have had to replace it twice for broken pulls. Quality is dropping.

This should be a 5 star backpack; we've bought them in the past, and they are still good. This one we received (it was backordered) had a flaw in the zipper pull that has rendered one side useless. It is monogrammed. My son didn't want to be without it, so we kept it. I blame the manufacturing flaw on the general problems all manufacturers are having--and trust me, they are all having them.
