| Live in 22207. What size backpack does a Kindergartener wear? DC wore the smallest Potterybarn backpack to daycare but maybe that is too tiny? |

| LL Bean small one (junior?). |

Not sure why the zip code matters but we used a Land's End Featherweight Medium.
My DS is tall though, he was just under 4' when he started K. It is in great shape and we will be able to use it at least one more year. They don't carry much in K. A lunch bag, the occasional library book and the Friday folder. There were several kids with character backpacks (think minions for boys and frozen for girls) but I think a classic backpack makes the most sense for longevity. DS grows like a weed so the only thing from K he'll be taking to 1st is that backpack.

You must not have school aged kids. I thought this term was ridiculous too but it is used everywhere! |

Weird to me until I had kids in school too. Makes things easy to understand when you ask people about their kids after Memorial Day. |

| My K will be wearing the pottery barn one- not the tiniest one but the one bigger than that. But we're not in the same zip code as you. |

| We are slumming it over here in 20910, but we used a Land's End "small" size with the matching lunch box. |

| Land End medium size - the teacher told us not to get the small because it would crunch his folder and papers up too much. Medium was good and still usable for first, probably second grade. |

Agree. Small is not big enough for papers and folders |

LOL at your ignorance of this very common term. |

I have two teens. It may be common but it sounds stupid. |

In Canada we say " going into grade 4" or whatever grade. Its not rocket science. |
