It's not too big, but she is very tall so I guess it depends on your kiddo's size. You wouldn't want the backpack to overwhelm them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kindergarten-backpacks#post-2456842 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 13:01:46 +0000 gingerbebe 2456842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh, thanks for the heads up on the sale - I snagged a lunch bag and backpack for DS when he starts preschool in the fall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kindergarten-backpacks#post-2456643 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 11:53:23 +0000 Autumnmama79 2456643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: DD has the bigger one from PBK and its too big. But she liked it better so we went with it. Super well made and durable, she used it all through K and now in grade one too. We also have the matching lunch box that is in its second year too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kindergarten-backpacks#post-2456630 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 11:44:17 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2456630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Thanks! </p> <p>@T-Mom: Yea I couldn't tell if the "small" would fit a binder</p> <p>@MamaG: - I think the medium may be the good compromise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kindergarten-backpacks#post-2456618 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 11:40:24 +0000 MamaG 2456618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Lands End one for our Pre-K kiddo (with a binder and lunch box). It's the ClassMate Medium (•18"Hx12 1/2"Wx6 1/2"D. 1670 cu. in.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kindergarten-backpacks#post-2456617 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 11:40:20 +0000 T-Mom 2456617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD has carried the same "small backpack" from PBK for two years. She's in 2nd grade. It fits a binder and her library books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kindergarten-backpacks#post-2456614 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 11:37:55 +0000 Mamaof2 2456614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: ours said "large backpack" so I got the large one from PBK - it was too large! We used it but it looked kinda funny on him! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kindergarten-backpacks#post-2456602 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 11:34:22 +0000 regberadaisy 2456602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I feel like different schools will have different requirements. Maybe email the secretary and see if they can give you this year's k kindergarten supply list? I know ours included the size of the backpack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kindergarten-backpacks#post-2456552 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 11:19:24 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2456552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I noticed PBKids is having a clearance sale on backpacks and I realized she will need a new one for K next year. I'm not sure what size we may need though. I believe they will carry a binder and a lunch box but no toys or things like that. I dont want it to be so huge she can't carry it. Anyone have suggestions or pictures of what they have purchased? </p>
