How to recognize a quality school bag?

We know that a school bag is often very full of school supplies. In addition, it is mistreated by children at school, and must withstand both the weather and the passage of time. It must therefore be of good quality , resistant , comfortable and well organized .

Today, it will be asked to preferably be made of recycled material.

Finally, it must be beautiful and reflect the personality of the child who wears it!

Here are the different points to help you make your choice and find out how to recognize a quality school bag .

How much does the schoolbag weigh?

Since the contents of school bags are very heavy, it is important that the bag does not add too much weight to the child's shoulders.

A well-designed school bag will therefore be relatively light, while maintaining good load resistance.

In fact, health professionals recommend a maximum of 10% of the child's weight for a loaded schoolbag, to protect your back.

There lightness of the schoolbag itself is therefore an important criterion for making your choice.

The right shape for your schoolbag

If the shape of the schoolbag is important, it is a question of center of gravity, position and especially width.

Carrying the weight as close to the back as possible, i.e. avoiding bags that are too long or with straps that are too long, is preferable in all cases and for the youngest in particular. So, no more shoulder bag or single strap bag .

When it comes to width , it's simple: choose a satchel whose width does not exceed that of the shoulders.

Quality materials

We particularly appreciate that the fabric of the schoolbag is weather resistant.

A little shower on the way to school is never out of the question... A waterproof fabric , coating Or water-repellent for example will be a good choice.

Of the quality closures will prevent you from losing your child's small belongings.

Replaceable parts are a definite plus.

A strong handle

There handle , which will support the entire weight of the satchel, must be solid .

Check that it has the right reinforced seams , a sufficient width to facilitate handling, and possibly reinforcements.

Pockets, more pockets

Finally, a maximum pockets will allow to do well organize business and to share out harmoniously the weight of supplies .

Distributed inside and possibly outside, they are very useful for finding your way around everything in a school bag!
