Backpack Fit Event: Free Pottery Barn Deal on July 12!

Okay, parents, listen up! Back-to-school shopping is already creeping in, and that means… backpack stress. We recommend checking out this FREE event at Pottery Barn Kids. Yes, free! And it takes a load off, literally and figuratively.

What's This Offer All About?

Pottery Barn Kids is holding a “Find Their Backpack Fit” event on July 12th, 2025, at select stores. It’s basically a personalized fitting session to make sure your kid’s backpack is comfy and won’t wreck their back. We’re talking about avoiding future chiropractor bills here! This isn’t just about snagging a cute backpack (although, let’s be honest, PBK does have some adorable designs!), it’s about proper ergonomics.

Why a Proper Backpack Fit Matters?

Okay, so maybe “wreck their back” was a bit dramatic, but seriously, an ill-fitting backpack can lead to some problems. Think posture issues, shoulder pain, and even headaches. Who wants that? The event will help you determine the right size backpack for your child’s height and build. They’ll also show you how to properly adjust the straps and distribute the weight. No more one-shoulder carrying catastrophes!

Who Should Snag This Opportunity?

If you have kids heading to elementary, middle, or even high school, this event is definitely worth checking out. Especially if your kid is prone to overpacking (sound familiar to anyone?). If you’re already planning on buying a new backpack this year, this is a no-brainer. Even if you’re just curious and want to learn more about proper backpack fitting, go for it! Knowledge is power, people!

This will take you to Pottery Barn Kids’ website where you can search for participating stores near you and sign up for the event. Make sure you double-check the date and time before you confirm!

What to Expect at the Event

From what I hear, the event is pretty low-key. Expect a friendly PBK employee to guide you through the fitting process. They’ll have a few different backpack models on hand for your child to try on. They’ll also give you tips on how to pack the backpack properly to distribute the weight evenly. You should bring your kiddo along so they can get the most out of it!

A Few Extra Pointers

While you’re there, take a look at the different backpack features PBK offers. Some have padded compartments for laptops, others have water bottle holders, and some even have reflective strips for safety. Think about what your child needs in a backpack and what features would be most useful. And hey, while you’re at it, browse their lunchboxes and pencil cases! as well get the whole back-to-school shopping thing done in one fell swoop.

My Final Verdict

I’m always a fan of free events that offer real value, and this one definitely fits the bill. Knowing how to properly fit a backpack is a skill that will benefit your child for years to come. And who knows, you even learn a thing or two yourself! Plus, you get to check out the latest Pottery Barn Kids backpack styles. Definitely worth the time!
