Safta backpack

The backpacks Safta are school bags, most often sold in prints, in sizes that align with the schooling stages: a small bag for nursery, a bag for primary school in notebook size, and a bag for secondary school in binder size. The choice depends on the child's back length and the weight of the bag when empty.

What size backpack Safta for each school level

In nursery, the bag carries a snack and a piece of clothing, with height being more important than volume, and the bag must not fall below the lower back. In primary school, the notebook size becomes the minimum. In secondary school, it needs a compartment that can fit a flat binder, and often, a pocket for a tablet. The key measurement is the height of the bag in relation to the child's height, not the stated litres.

What wears out first on a backpack Safta

Three areas wear out before others on a school bag, regardless of the manufacturer.

• The bottom of the bag, which touches the ground every day, highlighting the need for a reinforced bottom.
• The seams of the straps, which bear the full weight of the textbooks.
• The zipper of the main compartment, the most stressed part of a backpack Safta.

How to maintain a printed backpack Safta without damaging it

Prints can be cleaned with a damp sponge and mild soap, never in a high-temperature washing machine, which can peel off designs and warp the padding. Empty the bag first, including sand and crumbs, then leave it to dry open, in fresh air and away from a radiator.
