Boo&BugsMom replied: We got Tanner's at Toys R Us.

Jamison'smama replied: I got Jamison's at Disneystore.com--she wanted Kim Possible. When we were searching, I saw some cute ones at lillyskids.com.

When I was at Gymboree, they had pink with leopard print for the girls and camo for the boys--both had lots of accessories but in general, Target had the biggest selection.

mom21kid2dogs replied: I second the Hanna Anderssen suggestion. Very cute, very well made with lunchboxes to match!!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I just noticed tonight that the children's place has some cute ones on sale (with matching lunchboxes)

luvmykids replied: We found one at Penney's...of course it's pink with leopard, just like we've seen everywhere else that Kylie turned her nose up at

Oh well, at least it was on sale for half off, so was the matching lunch tote.

Thanks for the suggestions though, we're still on the hunt for Colt.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Wow, school shopping has begun. I saw all the ads in the paper today and just kind of said, "Wow, it's coming up fast." Glad Kylie's got her stuff now.

coasterqueen replied: Glad you found one. My Kylie had to have a Disney Princess one and of course every store has different versions of them. She currently has two Disney Princess back packs and knows she has to decide which one to keep because the other is going back. They didn't come with matching lunch boxes, but I found one that matches both bags perfectly at Burlington Coat Factory.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: We jts bought new ones for the two older kids at Zellers, for 9.99$ each. Blue and black, and pink and brown. Came with a lunch bag, crayon case and wallet.

lisar replied: About a month ago I was out shopping and I came across a mess load of the old style lunch boxes. The ones that are really hard to find now here where I live. And when I found them I bought 2 of them to last her thru the year. Sorry I dont know where to get them either, I found them at walmart.
