In designing the accessible collections, the Pottery Barn Kids and Pottery Barn Teen design teams gathered input from children and teens who use mobility devices, their parents, and caregivers to give best-selling backpack and desk designs new features for increased accessibility.

Access ports easily accommodate tubes or cables. Outside, adjustable padded straps make it easy to attach and detach from a wheelchair or mobility device, and the straps tuck into their own compartment. Customers can personalize the backpack with a name or initials for an extra-special touch. The matching Mackenzie Adaptive Lunchbox collection perfectly pairs with the backpack, rounding out the complete set. For study spaces, the best-selling Pottery Barn Kids Morgan Accessible Desk has wheelchair-compatible dimensions with pull-out drawers.
