Weight

  • As a rule of thumb, a school bag should not weigh more than 12-15% of your body weight.
  • In addition to the weight of the backpack, it must also be considered that books, cases, and other materials for school increase the weight. It is advisable to put the heavy things in the back of the school bag – directly against the back – as they are easier to carry that way.
  • In addition, the schoolbag should be ergonomically shaped to fit the child’s back.
Visibility
  • School bags should be equipped with reflective strips to increase visibility in the dark.
  • The increased visibility provides additional safety when your child goes to school early in the morning or in the winter.
  • Reflectors should be located at the back as well as the front of the backpack to ensure maximum safety from both directions.
  • The reflectors also reflect car headlights, for example, and drivers can see your child better.
Accessories
  • Pay attention to whether the school bag is also sold as a set.
  • Many manufacturers offer complete sets that include a pencil case and a sports bag in addition to the school bag.
  • School bags for first graders are offered in many different designs . Choose a design that matches the child’s interests.
