Rated 5 out of 5 by from Carters Brands Rock!! This butterfly book bag was purchased for our 31/2 year old granddaughter for Christmas! She will be thrilled when she unwraps the package! There will be the matching water bottle inside of the book bag!! She loves butterflies so this is the perfect gift for her. She wears nothing but Carter’s Brand clothing so why not buy other quality brand items from Carters for her?!?! We have 10 “Grands” and I have always bought Carters clothes for all…starting with matching Christmas Jammie’s many years ago. I am a very happy Grandma who always buys the best for them-Carters Brand Rocks!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful preschool bag Bought the whole set of butterfly designs; Bought with snack bowl, bento box, lunch bag and water bottle; love the butterfly design. Originally bought the little kid bag , thought was small and then bought the big kid bag which was slightly bigger

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for toddlers. This backpack is the perfect size for toddlers. We tried others and they were so big. We found this one and it’s going to be perfect for preschool. It not big and bulky or tiny, it’s just the right size.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for growing toddlers! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My toddler recently "graduated" to this backpack, and she absolutely loves it. The extra space is so helpful

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not big at all [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great for smaller kids like 3 or 4 yrs I bought for my 5yr old for kindergarten and it’s extremely small and barely fits a standard school folder other then the misleading size it’s a great bag and very cute.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Perfect for my 3yo [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my daughter who just started preschool. She is 3 and the size of the backpack is just right. She has special needs and the zippers are a big challenging for her to unzip. Other than that, I’d say it’s a great choice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exactly what I wanted [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bag is exactly what I wanted. The description and photos before purchase really helped sell it for me
