{"reviews":[{"id":7747823,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Truly fits kids not even small adults","text":"I’m a 5’6” adult and this won’t fit me. Well with some serious wrastling it will, but that eliminates it from consideration as a handy, smaller pack built tough to LLBean standards and priced like its 2018. Don’t hate the messenger, some kid-rated packs WILL fit small and even medium adults. Go for the 24L regular Original School Pack instead. PS - one of the reasons I ordered this was to fit inside a “suitcase”-shaped minimalist flight bag designed for Spirit Airlines under-seat. As an organizer, and possibly also for local use after the flight. So I needed something small. This proved fine in the height deparment, but two wide - when laid inside the flight bag, it pushed the top and bottom panels out of shape, and it can’t be squished down to fit (thanks to the otherwise truly great thick foam back panel). And yeah the regular sized Original School Pack is even bigger, I could fit my flight bag inside IT!\n\n\n\n2nd PS - LLBean, you have hewed to a minimalist design philosophy in the School Pack line up for years. It was like pulling teeth to get any water bottle pockets at all (now that you have them, I deliberately kept one early design 32L/37L class “monster grade” Deluxe School Pack on hand without pockets, when I want to pass gate-check scrutiny - no bottle slots look trimmer). \n\n\n\nSimilarly, it was like sacrificing various other body parts to get a rear panel that will keep a tablet or laptop from sliding down and under contents where it can get damaged. Yes, the larger Deluxe and Ginormourous Deluxe 37L (not an official designation!) School Packs DO get the unpadded (which is sufficient, in my minimalist concurrence) laptop panel…but would it kill you to add a similar unpadded panel to the Original School Pack? Then I could truly use the Goldilocks-sized Original as my carryon. Right now, unless I stuff the Original to the gills, my laptop won’t stay safely positioned, it quickly slides out of safe position against the rear panel. And sewing the bottom in about 1/2 an inch up, instead of right on the bottom seam, would help when setting the bag down (no edge bump - that stiff foam panel you use is TOPS).","textLength":2146,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"FussyPants27","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":"Berkeley, CA","state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-12-13T00:00:00-05:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[{"name":"size","score":0.53},{"name":"pockets","score":0.47},{"name":"water bottle pocket","score":0.65}],"syndication":{"sourceName":"L.L.Bean","siteUrl":"https://www.llbean.com/?nav=gn-hp","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/2744_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"18254-502875","title":"Kids' L.L.Bean Junior Original Backpack","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/18254-502875","category":"accessories-backpacks","reviewCount":346,"ratingCount":346,"averageRating":4.7,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":6,"2":4,"3":17,"4":24,"5":295},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":7747847,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Jr Backpack a lovely blue","text":"Always a favorite.

The small but mighty pack - our smallest pack makes an ideal first pack for students just starting out. Same time-tested construction and rugged materials as our L.L.Bean Original Book Pack.

Why We Love It
It's no secret that elementary-school students love our Original Book Packs, so we created a smaller version for all the little brothers and sisters out there. It's just as tough as the original but sized to fit younger kids - because packing treasures around the backyard can sometimes be just as important as carrying books and homework to school.
