One more (I promise) Land's End backpack question?

So far, none of the Sears have the backpack I wanted to get the boys for school so I can't check it out first.

I was interested in getting the Classmate Studyhaul backpacks. They're the large size that are 17" and from 4' to 5'6". But, on the website the reviews say that it's smaller than expected and doesn't hold hardly anything? Does anyone have experience with this size? I cannot afford to buy these online if they're too small. Thanks!

My dd has that one and it seems big to me. Granted she was in Kindergarten last year so she doesn't carry a lot on a daily basis but all the supplies her teacher requested for next year fit in it right now.....

You can have the Lands End people at Sears order it and ship to the store for free, you might be able to order online and ship to the store for free too.

Really? It will be for a Kindergartener and a 2nd grader. I was just hoping it would last a year or two.

A lot of people on there were saying how they can't fit their snow pants, boots, etc. in the bag.

My kids only need it for a lunch box and some folders and a notebook?

My dd will be using it again next year and hopefully the year after.

Honestly, neither you or I live in a place where we have so much snow we need to worry about getting snowpants & boots in there along with school supplies. It's a normal sized backpack, slightly wider and similar height to the character ones.
