Which schoolbag for CE2?

With their entry into third grade (CE2), children are halfway through their primary education. The workload increases, as does the number of subjects and notebooks. Furthermore, children are going through a growth spurt, and even if the load they carry isn't very heavy, it can eventually cause minor problems. That's why a adapted schoolbag their schooling proves necessary.

Several criteria should guide your choice.

A good-sized schoolbag

This year, your child will need to carry more books and notebooks than last year. Therefore, they will need a larger schoolbag. A 41 cm bag is ideal. It will be suitable for the child's size as well as the weight they will have to bring home. It should have compartments for storing a snack and various small items such as geometry sets.

Having a schoolbag that's the right size is also a matter of appearance. A disproportion between the size of the schoolbag and the child will quickly attract ridicule or reveal its limitations in use.

Durability above all

Because even in third grade, children are still children, they continue to take their bags with them to play and often hang around the playground. Sometimes pressed for time, they don't give their school bags the care they deserve and leave them on the ground outside. This reality should remind us of the importance of quality in school bag construction. Strong seams and durable, waterproof polyester fabric will ensure they stay dry. Metal clasps and rivets for the handles and straps will guarantee safe, heavy-duty daily use.

And since daily use means regular cleaning, it's best to choose a schoolbag that's easy to care for . Polyester has the advantage of being water-repellent and offering good resistance to stains and dust. Nevertheless, from time to time, you can clean the schoolbag with a damp, soapy sponge using circular motions. Do the same for the inside, including the compartments, and let it dry completely.

A schoolbag they like

At their age, having a nice schoolbag to show off to their friends is a source of pride. So, it's important to make sure it suits their tastes. Why not pastel-colored bags, perhaps with glitter, or decorated with unicorn or dragonfly motifs, or even bags in bolder or darker colors, which can be enhanced with an emblem of their favorite heroes, and which they'll be proud to display?
