I was on their website looking at backpacks for next year and they seem very limited in styles and colors. Am I going to the wrong place? I haven't seen any L.L.Bean backpacks in stores here but I've only looked at Target and Walmart.

Are they really worth it? My DS9 went through 3 backpacks last year. By the 3rd one I told him oh well you'll have to carry that ratty thing around since you refuse to take care of it. He throws his, drags his, everything under the sun.

I only buy LL Bean backpacks. They are quality backpacks and hold up over the years.

When my kids were very young I just let them get the character ones from Walmart, when they outgrew that then we did Jansport.

I've never seen them in stores. I think you'd have to go to an LL Bean store or order online.

I like Northface and High Sierra. My daughter stuffs her backpack to the brim and I haven't had any problems with these brands.

LLbean is a good brand/quality. If i'm not mistaken they also have a good return policy.Try amazon.

I was a huge LL bean fan up until 2 years ago. The quality has gone down and the announcement on the policy just made me not comfortable with ordering one.

LL Bean has their own stores you won’t find them at other retailers. Find an outlet you get the best prices at an LL Bean outlet. My kids only use LL bean bags I only used them as well!

Ever since the company started having troubles laying off workers and changing their return policy their quality has gone down. They are using cheaper materials too
