Thanks so much for this! I just ordered a large for my daughter who will be starting Kindy in the fall. We've already registered her and she has to bring a binder back and forth daily, a towel, lunch and snack. I'm hoping we can use it until at least 3rd grade. ;)
Thank you! I've been wanting to see all three sizes compared. My son is going into preschool next year and I'm thinking the regular small size might work best. The mini just looks too small.
Yes, definitely! The small size is a great size for preschool! The mini size is best as an extra change of clothing bag or when they were toddlers. Glad it helped! ♥
Thanks for this review. My daughter is going into first grade too and I am in between the small and large. I want her to have it for a couple/few years. Would you recommend going with the large?
Brittany Goodman he small is tiny !!! My son has to carry a 1 inch binder back and forth for kindergarten and it does not fit unless I force it in and a water bottle won't fit on the side of I do that not to mention no way he can force that folder in himself ! I had to call and make them give me the large ! So much money I couldn't be ok with this ! The photos on the website and measurements are way off if you ask me
Mel C I get it when I was 9 and under I wanted everything character I barely wore any t-shirts that didn’t have characters on them and even know at 12 I still love characters even if I’m obliviously much older now I still l characters and try to get much less but still at lot of character things
Thanks for this! The only other thing that would of helped is seeing each size on each one of the girls. We went with the bigger size for my son who just started k. We used the smaller (not smallest) for pk. We switched because I felt like the smaller one wouldn't fit the lunchbox plus 2 snacks plus hat/gloves etc well. I probably could of made it work though!
That's the same for Bella, we could have probably made the small work one more year - but I felt like go ahead and get the extra space just incase. :) Thanks for watching! ♥
Thank you!! I have a question about the cheetah glitter print...does the glitter flake off? Last thing I need is a cranky husband complaining about more glitter in the house! Haha!
our PB kids backpack tore up inside within just two days.. TWO! I advice anyone to stay away from them as they are not as good with quality. their site has nowhere to place a review on the product. what does that tell you?
My kids are literally still using all of these same backpacks and lunchboxes in 2018. 🤷🏻♀️ It sounds like it may have been a defective product or too much weight inside? We have used ours for school daily, travel, etc - and no issues other than just getting dirty from use over time obviously. I just toss them (all of them, I have with the lunch boxes too) in the washer - although I’m not entirely sure that’s recommended by the manufacturer. This wasn’t a paid review or anything btw - just want to relay that we are still using these same bags. 💜
My daughter used her small all year long and it is still in perfect condition. It looks like we just bought it honestly minus a little paint stain that you can't even notice. Maybe it was defective? (didn't realize I commented from my husbands account lol)

They really do hold up well. This was the first year my youngest hasn't used one for school because she went with one from Kipling.
I’m late to the party but I’m looking at one to use as a diaper bag. I wanted to see what the front pocket holds? Could you describe

Half of sixth grade, I couldn’t use the PB teen binder I got because we needed a 3 inch one. So, we got one from Office Depot, but I HATED IT.
Do you still have? How does the folder fit in the minis?
Thanks the binder reference is very helpful
I wanted to get my kids these this year but they insisted on character ones:/.
Mel C I get it when I was 9 and under I wanted everything character I barely wore any t-shirts that didn’t have characters on them and even know at 12 I still love characters even if I’m obliviously much older now I still l characters and try to get much less but still at lot of character things
Can the mini fit a folder in it? I need something for my two year old but I’m thinking the small might be too big for her.
Mini will not fit a folder. Best for an change of clothing and small stuffed animal. Small would be good if they need to hold a folder.💜
Does the lunch bag fit comfortably inside the small with room for other stuff like a sweater?
Hi! New to pottery barn backpacks. Is the mackenzie the large backpack?
Yes, it is! 💜
Thank you for confirming

How did you like the large for kindergarten? I am considering going with the large size instead of the small.
Very cute bags for the girls Di!
So small is for binders folders? The mini doesn’t fit anything of that sort
Yes! The small can fit a binder and folders. And you’re correct, mini is way too small for folders. 😄
This was very helpful thank you!!
Can you tell me what the straw like hole is for on the top of our PB backpacks?
They're for headphones
You're the best mom EVER!!!!
Will i be able to wear the mini on my back (mommy)
I will differently be picking up one or two of these when we are over they look sommuch better than backpacks we can get here
We do love them! The prints are so cute! ♥
Your the BEST MOM EVER!!!!!!!

No it doesn't. I bought that one for my daughter last year. We loved it!
Thanks for the video...🤗
Very helpful thank you 😊

Pottery barn teen would be more suitable (size)

We did not have this experience at all. I would call the company. Our sons held up for two years of PreK, numerous camping trips, day trips etc.
You didn’t something to them because these to me look like good quality
