  • A: This backpack is almost too big for my first grader. He has to latch the chest strap or the shoulder straps slide off constantly. It will fit a 4th grader perfectly.

What Happened to the matching Daisy Lunch Boxes?!?

BadPoet - 2 days ago, Verified purchaser
It's really annoying when a company as massive as Target fails to provide enough inventory of the accessories to their kids backpacks. Seriously did you make 2 dozen of the matching Daisy lunch boxes while making thousands of the the Daisy backpacks & bento boxes?!? Cause little girls aren't obsessed with matching sets?!? Lesson learned. I stopped shopping at Target years ago for shenanigans like this... Manipulatiing customers just seems to always be be this company's modus operandi.

This backpack is adorable with its fun strawberry design, and the size is just right for kids. It’s roomy enough to hold school essentials, sturdy for daily use, and comfortable to wear. The squishy berry is neat. My child loves it, and it makes getting ready for school extra fun!

What a metalic bummer

TaliaN - 8 days ago, Verified purchaser
My daughter fell in love with this magical metallic purple backpack. We packed it with her supplies, took her bag to our car, and walked into the school. We got to her class and so much of the metallic purple is just gone. It’s flaking off and looks to be showing signs of wear from literally one partial use. We usually have amazing luck, I guess I’ll see if she has better luck with a different one or maybe she can find some cute patches. Poor kid is so disappointed.

krys930 - 8 days ago, Verified purchaser
Bought the pink metallic foil one for my daughter in 4th grade and the gamer one for my son in 1st. Had the same brand last year, no issues, made it through the school year great. This year, 5 days in, and the material on the pink one is cracking, peeling, and rubbing off. She literally only wears it into her classroom and hangs it on a hook, so it's not like she's beating it up. After less than a week it looks like it went through a TSA checkpoint. Disappointed in the quality because it's so cute and has the matching lunch bag, but we've returned it for this reason. Very bummed.
