Should we favor a satchel or a backpack at school?

Choosing between a school bag and a backpack can sometimes be complicated, because even though they have similarities, they're two different designs. So, backpack or school bag? Are you unsure? Here, we'll try to shed some light on the matter.

The schoolbag

This accessory was designed to carry notebooks, binders, textbooks, a pencil case, etc. It is made up of several compartments of different sizes allowing all the necessary supplies to be stored in an orderly manner. A school bag from our brand Caramel & cie, for example, has two ergonomic, adjustable and padded shoulder straps that are adapted to the child's size, which helps protect the student's back in order to obtain optimal comfort. The back of the school bag is anti-perspirant, its seams are reinforced, it is waterproof and washable on the surface, both outside and inside. It is important when choosing a school bag to respect the rule stating that the weight of the school bag should not exceed 10% of the child's weight, so it is essential to take into account the weight of the empty school bag. This is why Caramel et cie. makes a point of making lightweight school bags that allow for good weight distribution of textbooks and notebooks with horizontal storage. The school bag guarantees a posture adapted to the child, because it is carried higher and is positioned just above or below the curve of the back.

The backpack

It is a timeless accessory. It is also entirely possible to opt for the purchase of a backpack with a view to making a long-term investment. In order to benefit from optimal comfort, it is imperative to ensure that the chosen bag meets certain criteria such as adjustable straps, padded shoulder straps, a bag that fits as close to the body as possible and is adapted to the child 's morphology, etc. Caramel & cie. offers a selection of stylish and comfortable bags, designed with back reinforcements that provide optimal protection for the shoulders and back and a good hold of the bag even when it is lightly filled. The strength and waterproofness of a backpack are safety and quality criteria that should be taken into account when purchasing. It should also be noted that the large ergonomic backpacks of our brand have been designed as hiking bags and have the qualities of a school bag.

To conclude

In terms of carrying, the school bag and the backpack have similarities and in reality the choice between a backpack and a school bag is essentially a matter of taste. However, the ideal is an accessory adapted to the child's size and made of a lightweight material. It is essential that the selected accessory allows a good distribution of the weight of the supplies, which is the case with Caramel & cie school bags and backpacks which guarantee a better posture. The fundamental point is to make sure that the accessory on which your child has set his sights is well designed for school use. Opt for ergonomics and design . Why have to choose
