FAQ's
The Kane Backpack is best for kindergarten through 2nd grade students, typically ages 5 to 8. It fits standard folders, lunch boxes, and daily school essentials without feeling oversized on smaller elementary frames, making it one of the best backpacks for 1st graders and early elementary students who need structure and durability.
The Kane Backpack fits within personal item size requirements on most major airlines and is well-suited as a travel bag for young children on airplanes. Its structured design holds clothing, snacks, and entertainment for flights, fitting easily under an airplane seat. Always confirm airline-specific size policies before traveling.
The Kane Backpack is made with water resistant materials that protect contents from light rain and everyday spills. It is not fully waterproof.
The Kane Backpack is constructed with reinforced stitching and high-quality zippers designed to withstand the daily wear of multiple school years. It is built to outlast cheaper alternatives and is frequently chosen by parents searching for a high-quality kids' backpack that won't need replacing every year.
I initially purchased another Kane backpack for my second grader on July 26. Unfortunately, within less than four months, the bottom of the bag deteriorated. I contacted customer service and sent them a few pictures of the damage. They agreed to send a replacement. Although the original design I had purchased was unavailable, they allowed me to choose another one, so I opted for this one. Fingers crossed! 🤞
The customer service team was extremely helpful and quick to respond.
The Kane backpack with hearts is stunning, and I really love the design. My concern is that each heart is only sewn on in three small spots. Given the price and how much a kids’ backpack gets tossed around, I’m worried they’ll come loose quickly. I expected the hearts to be sewn on more securely. I love the backpack, but I’m disappointed in the quality of the construction.
Great backpack- beautiful colors. Great quality. Comfortable for my 1st grader!
I brought this backpack for my almost 5YO daughter. While she loves the backpack, my issue was delivery time as it took a long time due to personalization. The bag was not delivered in time for our trip and so it sat on the porch for a week. I like the bag but not the delivery speed which is the reason for rhe 4 stars.

Love, love, love this backpack!! If you are on the fence, definitely buy it. Amazing quality, brilliant colors, so many organizational pouches and a hidden AirTag pocket. I don’t see us buying any other brand in the future. State for the win!!
I bought the Barbie Dreamhouse backpack, the carry-on, and the toiletry kit, and everything is amazing—excellent quality and beautiful. My daughter is so happy, and I love everything.
My son absolutely loves his backpack! It’s well made, sturdy and lightweight. The design is perfect for a soccer enthusiast. He gets tons of compliments!
My daughter loves her backpack it’s super sturdy and the quality is great compared to others. My only con is it’s kind of heavy duty so it makes the backpack heavy easily.
The elastic on the side pocket came undone after 3 weeks of school. The elastic came out from its sewn pocket, which indicates it wasn't sewn in properly to begin with. I tried to resolve the issue with customer service and the “solution” was to get a replacement backpack. Great! Except not. They can’t get me the same backpack, which my first grader is absolutely not okay with, and even if they could, I have to pay an additional $10. No, thank you.
My daughter was so excited when her new school bag arrived. I love the quality and that it makes her so happy.
My daughter loves her Daisy backpack. The color is great, backpack is super stylish. It’s very roomy with multiple pockets! We love the fact we don’t have to struggle to get her water bottles into the holder. We love the backpack material we can just wipe down if needed. The only down fall is the zipper part is white so it gets dirty super fast. We will definitely order every year for school!
I have bought from you all before and this book bag was even better. I love you all added compartments to the inside and the vibrant sunset on the book bag just makes you happy. My daughter gets so many compliments. Love the lunchboxes as well…tons of space
My daughter is in pre-k. It’s fits all of her essentials, without being too bulky to carry. There is definitely some room to grow, so we can get a few years out of it! Super cute too.
This bag, while very durable and adorable, doesn’t work for kinder and up. It’s more of a pre-k back pack.
I’m working on getting a refund for the monogrammed Kane kids I bought for my 1st grader as she can’t fit a standard folder and water bottle in it without it almost bursting the zipper. I would definitely order the next size up if your child is in elementary.
They told me I could get a refund or credit since I monogrammed … shame on me for blindly trusting a good brand 😏
SO cute, great material, and a perfect size for my 3.5 yr old preschooler! Hoping to get 3 years out of it. The first one that shipped had a dirty spot and they sent a new one right away!
Love this backpack so much, perfect size and great quality. Pockets fit water bottle perfectly and a lunch box. Highly recommend!
My daughter is 7 years old in the 2nd grade. She absolutely loves this backpack. She loves the beautiful flower print, the size, and how comfortable it is. I personally really like that it’s lined and is a good high end quality. This is our first school year using a State Backpack but I am sure it will not be the last! 100% recommend.
This backpack is actually cuter in person. I ordered my Kinder the Kane Kids and it’s actually a little big. I like it but she could have gotten away with the mini as well. It’s big enough to fit her 12 oz water bottle (2.7 x 3.1 x 6.9). I read a review that said it did fit their child’s bottle, but it fits a normal sized bottle good. It’s sturdy and strong, I would suggest getting the chest strap (which I went back and purchased) because it’s a little big, the straps tend to fall down. Other than that, I love it
I ordered this bag for my kindergarten baby back in August, and at first I was worried the material wouldn’t hold up, it seemed a little “unprepared?”, however, it’s March and I’m admitting I was wrong to worry! 7 months of daily use and the bag still looks brand new- I swear to God. The only negative feature about the bag is that I missed out on catching the chest strap that matched the bag while they were in stock, and we struggled to get the straps to stay the correct length (they were often different lengths and would slide out of place), but eventually either I gave up stressing about it or the straps magically stopped moving because it’s not anything we worry with anymore!

Great backpack- beautiful colors. Great quality. Comfortable for my 1st grader!
Amazing quality!!!! You will definitely not be disappointed 👌🏼BUY IT !!!
We have 3 of these bags, picking out our 4th for school :)
As a parent, I could not be more happy with the STATE backpack we have. My daughter will be going on her 3rd school year with it. She is bummed that the backpack looks brand new still and that she won’t get to get a new one. The bags are well made and hold up extremely well. Next year, we will likely be getting another one but only because her style is starting to change as she ages. You bet that we will be handing it down to the next friend. We love these backpacks. You won’t be disappointed, they are worth the spend!
I have 3 girls 5-10 and STATE bags are worth every cent. I have passed down the Kane bag from oldest to youngest and I’m about to hand it down one more year to my 3rd daughter. There’s no going back once you experience the STATEbag!
My kindergarten daughter absolutely loves this backpack and I love how it will grow with her the next couple of years.
