Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

I bought 4 of these bags for my 4 children a few years ago. At that time, they had more camouflage colors to choose from. We have never used them for a backpack, but use them frequently when we travel on longer trips or just weekends. They have been great. The only con is that they don't really stand up very well. That has never been a major problem though. If you want something for little trips a few times a year, these are prefect and my kids love them.

We had 2 of these that my sister bought my boys as gifts and only used them as weekend suitcases. We don't travel much and probably used them around 10 times and they both have broke in different places already. I contacted the company and they won't do anything about it. My sister normally orders from Lillian Vernon all the time but hasn't for awhile because of this issue.

I bought these bags for my nieces to use for overnight trips, slumber parties, etc and they love them. They have used them for over a year for overnight trips to Nanas, longer trips to their other grandparents 14 hours away, etc. This is NOT a backpack for every day use, but does work great for travel.

the legs broke and it won't stand up, plus no shoulder strap so you can carry it

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

used for my boys school backpacks. They didnt hold up well at all, within a few months I needed to replace them

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

I loved the look of the bag when i first saw it i liked it so much that i bought one for each of my kids. When I received it I thought it was wierd that it did not stand up, but it was still ok. After one month of use the handel broke & is not fixable the bottom is not made very well because it had gotten holes very easily. Just not what i thought I was getting.I do not recomend this for everyday use maybe as a once in a while bag it would be better.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

My son was very excited to start 1st grade and get a "real" book bag. One side of the pop-up handle broke after three weeks, and the other broke after another two weeks. It was totally useless. I had to throw it away and get him another backpack.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

I like the print. It matches my grandson's nap mat I also bought for him. We haven't used it long enough to know if it lasts long.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

I purchased this for my 8 year old son to use for school in September. Well it is now October and there are holes in the corners on the bottom of the bag and it does not even stand up straight anymore because there is no support on the bottom. Very dissapointed. I will not recommend this product at all.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

THe bag is smaller than I expected and is annoying because it always falls down. The handles broke twice as my daughter was walking home from school and she had to carry it. I have ordered other things from Lillian Vernon and am very surprised at the quality of this bag.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

The wheels aren't as durable as the hard rubber wheels. The backpack is lightweight though but not as wide as I thought. Not all lunchboxes fit.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

We loved the look of the bag (trendy) and the size was fine for my 3rd grader. However, only 6 weeks later, my son said the handle broke on his bookbag getting ready to to depart school. I thought it would be something we could fix but its not. I looked to see other complaints. Kids love the look but if the quality isn't good, why are you still carrying the bookbag.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

My son really likes it, but we find that it topples from side to side when you pull it on it's wheels. It doesn't have shoulder straps and I will need to buy another backpack for the winter. I can't imagine dragging this through the snow.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

We bought 2 of the backpacks for the begining of the school year, so they are 3 weeks old. Both of them refuse to stand up straight. They fall over which is very annoying. It doesn't matter if they are full or empty. The bottom is not wide enough to keep the back pack up bc it is top heavy.

My second problem is one of the back packs is falling apart on the inside. The bottom has torn out.

They are however cute. If they fixed these defects I would consider buying it again.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

I bought two as book bags for my kids, but they are too small. I don't think they will last very long either, as they seem weak.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

I bought this for my daughter for school. It was not a week and it was already broken. [...] I had to go and buy a new back pack from the store so my daughter could take her books to school. Not a happy customer.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

The pilot case is the right size and weight for my 5 yo son who just started kindergarten. He needs a bookbag big enough to put some notebooks and textbooks, but not too bulky. My son loves the camou design. Unfortunately, unless I placed it against the wall, it's hard to keep it in a standing up position. The wheels are not big enough, and the handle is so tall, so the bottom back side wears off from being dragged.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

This bag is indeed smaller than it seems it would be. However, I packed a week's worth of clothes for my 9 month old. As she grows, it will definitely only be useful as an overnight bag. The purple camoflauge is cute print and stands out!!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

I bought this for my son to use at school, he likes it alot. The bag looks bigger in the catalog then in person, but for a third grader it's perfect. I was disappointed that it does not also have straps so you can wear it on your back. So far so good, he has only used it for a week so I really can't tell you about durability, but I have purchased the large duffle bag for him last year for travel and that is huge and durable.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

I expected a "Suitcase" but it is not like a suitcase because it does not open like one.It is very front heavy and will not stand up like it is supposed to, empty or full. It would be ok for a book bag but not a suitcase.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

My daughter loves the pilot case and says she has gotten many compliments on it at school!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

This was almost perfect for my Daughter - she loved it except for one thing. It did not have the straps if she decided to carry it on her back. It looks small at first but when they start using it, they'll find it's a perfect fit - some backpacks are getting to big and bulky.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

My son loves the blue camouflage bookbag. So far we had a good bit stuffed in the first day of school. My son is a 3rd grader and i'm 5 foot. Maybe not for taller children. Has many pockets, holds two water bottles, books and a separate folder pocket. As for wear and tear, I had a high end one(from another company)that lasted about 6 months. My son is a bus rider and seems to be extra tough on things.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

I bought a pair of these pilot cases as backpacks for my daughters (11 and 7)because they were featured along with matching school supplies such as a binders, pencil cases, and lunchboxes. The case lasted one day for my younger daughter and three days for my older daughter. The supportive tubes both broke in half and for my older daughter, the handle also pulled off. I would not recommend this product for use at school at all.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

I bought 2 of these for our sons who are 4 & 5 for an up coming trip to Disney World. The biggest issue that I have with them is that they don't open/zip all of the way around, so it's going to be tough packing. It really is too small for an older child unless they are going to use it as an over night bag.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

priced too high for what your getting. They only use black thread so ya can't read the name. Holds my sons books but if I have to send anything else to school like his snack bag I have to attach to the handle. Had to buy a fabric paint so we could see his name. Lettering is also small. Should not have to go out and spend money to fix a brand new bag. My son does like blue camo thats the only real plus

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

I like the bag, but I wish that it had straps also to be able to carry it not just roll it.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

I purchased this book bag for school for my daughter. She absolutely loved the style and the personalization. She has a very large trapper notebook and it fits with no problem. In middle school she has a lot of big heavy books, so I'm glad that she has something on wheels. I was however expecting it to be bigger. The width is good but I was expecting more depth. When we pulled it out of the box I said, "Your things won't fit." To my amazement her notebook and school books fit.

My son loves the backpack

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

I purchased the case for my granddaughter's first day of school. It's exactly the size I thought it would be and she loves the color and design.
I must say that some of the comments I read made me chuckle. Too small - read the dimensions provided. Not typical camo - has blue instead of black. There are pictures and details about the case and they were very clear. So far so good.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

we have not used the bag or lunch box yet. It is a good size. I order all the time and I am always happy and satisfied with all my products..

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

I get one of these (either solid or camo) for each of my grandchildren when they're about 3. They love them. I have 14 grand kids, so that's a lot of travel bags. All of them live far and these are the perfect bag for them to bring their stuff.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

I bought this for my 3 yr nephew for weekend trips to Granny's house. First - it is adorable with lots of pockets. It isn't huge, but for a toddler, it's probably the right size. Unfortunately, I don't know about durability or cons yet, b/c it is a recent purchase. I will have to ask my sister to determine those, but it is cute and for a [$] gift on for a weekend bag that is a toddler size, it's worth the money. I bought this one b/c the little suitcase I have from the internet from another company, though adorable, the zipper broke and this one seems smaller, but with more pockets, but more durable overall.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

I bought this case for my child to use for shcool, it fell apart in less than 6 months. The handle broke, and the wheel completely fell off. It was a waste of money.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

I ordered two bags. Loved the many pockets for their "stuff". Colors are attractive. Only wish that the handle had a lock-down button like the grownup ones do so it wouldn't pop up so easily. Also, would like the wheels to be a bit more bigger so it wouldn't tip over so easily (kids tend to run with them). Would have liked the zipper to open all the way down all 3 sides like the grownup ones so things would be easier to see and get to in order to pack and unpack. And it looks bigger in the picture than it really is.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

Very disapointed. They are very small and top heavy. They dont stand up well. The colors are not what you think a normal camouflage is. It is blue instead of black. I would never buy them again.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

It is not as big as it appears in the catalog. It is ok for my 6 year old grandson, and not big enough for my 9 year old.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

the photos make it look bigger

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

We have 4. They are on the small side. I am able to fit a week of summer clothing for my 7 year olds however, winter is a different story. The side pockets could stand to be bigger. It is a pain to pack because it is hard to get it to stay standing and the zipper doesn't open all the way. However, my kids love them and we use them all the time.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

my son was so happy and loved it he can not wait to use it for trips and school. I was expecting it to be bigger.but still was happy with it.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

Perfect for all the toys and books on my sons flight! Did not use it yet for an sleepover, but I don't think it's a problem, but I bought it specially for travelling. I bought the green camo and with his name on it I get many compliments!
Love it!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

bought this for my 10 year old daughter for school and everyone loved it. all the kids and mothers asked me where i got it from.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

I love the bag - great for 4-6 year olds. The blue camo gets black personalization - so the embroidery doesn't stand out enough. Recommend taking it to local place and picking your own thread for [$]

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

I wish the zipper actually fully opened the bag. I plan to use this as my 3 yr old's suitcase on a cross country flight for a 2 week vacation. I don't know if all her clothes will fit... I think the picture makes it seem larger than it is.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

It met most of our needs, I was just looking for one that had backpack straps and wheels and I couldn't tell from the catalog that this was only a roller bag.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

perfect gift for a child that travels.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Camouflage Pilot Cases:

The bags were much too small. Pictures of kids with them are decieving. I ordered the camo one for my son and the leopard one for my daughter and while I like the looks, the bags were insufficient for our trip!
