Great backpack! It is slightly ssmaller than expected but I'm not sure my 3rd grader needs anything more. He doesn't even carry a laptop or iPad to and from school. His folder and binder fit in there perfectly. The marterials seem very sturdy. Nice padding for the tech pocket. Front material and the carry handle are very robust. the two bottle pockets stretch and fit a vacuum steel water bottle. The attached lunchbox seem very well insulated and is large enough to fit his Ello benni box and maybe even snacks. The luncbix also features a drink pocket on the side for juice boxes etc. Inside there's a zipped pocket for utensils or a cold pack. Quite pleased for the price. I think it just might survive my son this year.

SMALL! SUPER small this is perfect for my 3year old and 4 years old but not my 1st grade whos 6years old i thought this would be a good fit but it wasnt had to return it since its to small for him

The backpack is really cute. Very good quality for the price. However, this is definitely not 17in. Only buy this backpack if it's for a preschool child or kindergartener. Too small for 1st grader and up.

Agree with other reviews, backpack is on the smaller side and not for kids past 1st grade. Wish it was bigger. Seems like good material, we'll see how it lasts this school year.

Cute bag, but I returned it due to the size

The backpack is way too small for a school aged kid.
