Choose the school satchel for your child wisely
School bags for the back-to-school season
School bags are part of the school supplies to buy before the start of the school year. With the numerous brands offered and the variety of prices, it is not easy to choose the right school backpack for your child. Sometimes, there is hesitation between the different models because it's difficult to decide. If you feel lost, here are the important criteria for choosing the right school bag for your child.
Criteria for choosing a school bag
When buying a school backpack, you must consider certain criteria to ensure your child's comfort, but especially to avoid having to buy another one in the middle of the school year, before the next school year.
- A school bag adapted to the child's morphology
When buying a school bag, you must really know your child's morphology well. If you make your purchase online, look closely at the dimensions of the chosen model. It should have wide, adjustable, and padded straps so that it doesn't hurt your child's shoulders.
- Choosing a school bag according to the child's weight
The weight of the child's backpack should be proportional to the child's weight. According to the standards set by the national education system, the load should not exceed 10% of the child's weight. Following this guideline can prevent back problems. It is therefore important to choose a bag that will allow the child to carry only the essentials. If it is too large, the student will tend to fill it, which is not good for their health. As an alternative, you have the option of choosing a rolling backpack provided that the child rarely carries it on their back.
- A sturdy and resistant school bag
Unlike a laptop bag, a school bag can undergo several aggressions throughout the school year. This is why resistant and quality materials are to be favored. Leather or polyester school bags are the most suitable for school use. When making your purchase, make sure that the corners and seams are reinforced and the bottom is rigid. Their reinforcements ensure the solidity of your child's bag.
- A practical school bag
For more practicality, a backpack with two compartments is a better choice. This way, the child can distribute their belongings while balancing their weight. The main compartment will be used to accommodate the binders, books, and notebooks so that they are against the back. The lighter school supplies, on the other hand, are to be stored in the secondary compartment.
Which school bag brands to choose?
Once you know the different essential criteria when buying a backpack school bag, you are certainly wondering which are the flagship brands of this year or those to favor.
For children in CE2, CM1, and CM2, the Snowball brand is the star of school bags. Its school bags have wide straps, with a large compartment that can perfectly accommodate large binders. Models are available for boys and girls.
Another brand that is very popular is Little Marcel. It is also made from a synthetic material with two compartments. It also has a large pocket to hold snacks. Its back and straps are padded. They are suitable as a girl's backpack or boy's.
If, on the other hand, you prefer backpacks, brands like Pinnacle, Eastpak Padded Pak'ar, and the brand Out of Office are currently the best sellers. The Eastpak Padded Pak'ar backpacks are legends in their field. This type of bag is very ergonomic and is very popular, whether at school or university. It even adapts for excursions and hikes, as they are so sturdy.
Otherwise, brands like FCB Barca, Tann's, Real Madrid, Snowball, Pets, Madisson are also interesting in terms of quality, sturdiness, and aesthetics.
