School backpacks
From primary school to high school, the backpack carries textbooks, pencil cases, and sports kits. Our category includes A4 sizes, padded backs, and wheeled models, with capacities that match the student's load.
A school backpack is chosen based on three points: the empty weight, the number of compartments, and the width of the straps. Consider a padded back and a chest strap from primary school, a padded compartment for the laptop in secondary school, and a capacity that fits an A4 binder without bending it.
Choosing a school backpack according to the student's age
In primary school, A4 size is enough, and the empty weight should be kept as low as possible: the planner and the pencil case already weigh enough. In secondary school, the load increases with textbooks and the laptop, making a padded back and wide straps essential. In sixth form, capacity is paramount, often with a pocket dedicated to the laptop. School bags on wheels remain an alternative when the walk is long.
Points to check on a backpack before the new school year
Open, load, carry: three actions that address the matter both at home and in-store. The base should be reinforced, with a double zip closure and double stitched straps. Check the reflective strip for winter journeys, the carry handle for hand use, and the ventilated back. A chest strap distributes the weight across the torso and prevents the straps from slipping off the shoulders.
School backpack, satchel or wheeled model
The satchel is rigid and stands upright, protecting notebooks; it's suitable for younger classes and short supply lists. The school backpack remains the most versatile from primary to sixth form, accompanying the student to sports and outings. The wheeled model eases back strain on long journeys, provided it can be carried by hand in stairs. Be sure to add a pencil case and a water bottle that fit in the side pockets.
