When selecting a new school bag for your child, there are many things you should be aware of to ensure the bag is both practical and comfortable to use. Below you can see what you should consider:

Size and capacity: Make sure to purchase school bags that match your child's age and size. The bag should have enough capacity to hold necessary items like books, pencil case, and lunch. This applies not just for the first school day. Keep an eye on your child's needs at all ages, so you don't end up buying the next school bag too late.

Comfort and ergonomic design: Ensure that the bag you choose has adjustable and preferably padded straps, so it can be adjusted and suited to your child as they grow. A padded back can also be advantageous, especially if it will be carried for longer periods.

Design and style: Children may have preferences for certain colors and patterns. In most cases, involving your child in the choice of design is a good idea so they will enjoy using the bag.

Durability and quality: School bags go through a lot over a school year, so it might be a good idea to choose a bag of high quality so it can withstand daily use without wearing out too quickly. Be cautious of buying a cheap school bag that, at best, might only last for a single school year. It's not worth it.

Details: If your child walks or cycles to school, you might want to choose a school bag with reflective details to increase visibility in traffic. Choose a bag with good compartmentalization so you can separate the lunchbox from school books if needed.

stylish bags for various needs

At Lirumlarumleg, we strive to procure quality school bags that last a very long time if taken care of properly. However, the need for a school bag can change as the child grows and develops new interests.

Ergonomically and weight-wise, there is also a big difference in the bag you should acquire. Smaller children can carry less weight on their backs than bigger children, so always choose a lightweight bag that suits your child's size and doesn't unnecessarily burden them. Smaller children don't have a significant organizational need either, so their bags should generally be simple and spacious so little fingers can easily navigate them.

Older children need larger and more spacious bags with multiple compartments and pockets for books, folders, and school supplies. It's also important that school bags for older children be more robust and durable, as older children tend to be more active. Ensure your child has a bag with good ergonomic features, like padded straps and adjustable back supports. Older children have much more to carry, so good comfort is necessary when they walk with their school bag.

how to get the most out of your child's new school bag

A school bag is used every single day and is subject to quite a bit. By taking good care of your school bag, you can extend its lifespan. By following the tips below, you can ensure it lasts a long time.

Follow any care instructions from the manufacturer and avoid overfilling the bag.

Overloading can lead to unnecessary wear on zippers and seams. Regularly check zippers and straps for any signs of wear. If something appears to be in poor condition, it might be a good idea to have it repaired so the bag lasts longer.

Wipe the bag with a damp cloth regularly to remove dust and dirt so it doesn't settle into seams. Use a mild soap for cleaning but don't let it get too wet. The bag should dry naturally at room temperature, not in direct sunlight.

If your bag is washable, make sure to only follow the manufacturer's washing instructions.

When not in use, store the bag in a dry place, preferably hang it up or place it on a clean surface. Avoid high temperatures and direct sunlight, as they can discolor the bag. Protect it from sharp objects and avoid unnecessary exposure to extreme weather conditions.

frequently asked questions about school bags

Find answers to all your questions about our school bags here. If you do not find the answer to your questions below, feel free to contact us.

how big a school bag should you use when starting first grade?

Choosing a school bag that fits in size and meets the child's needs is important, and we certainly want to help you on your way. First and foremost, it's important to remember that we all come in different heights, so it's a good idea to measure your child's back.

The height of the bag should be about the same length as the child's back. Measure from the shoulders to the lower back. The bag should not go over the tailbone. It should also be about the same width as the child's back.

when should you get a new school bag?

If you notice that the size of your child's school bag doesn't match the above, you should consider replacing it. It might also be that your child's needs have changed, and the school bag needs to serve a different purpose than before, or there might be a need for more compartments or a larger bag.

which is the best school bag for my child?

It's always challenging to answer what's best for your child specifically, as we're all different with different needs. Ergonomics is important to protect your child's back and shoulders from strain and injuries. Padded straps, adjustable back supports, and a good fit contribute to a more comfortable carrying experience. Many compartments and pockets help organize the contents of the bag and make it easier for your child to find what they need. Your child will likely have an opinion on how the school bag should look, so include them in the decision process to ensure they enjoy using their school bag.

what is a good school bag?

The most important thing for a good school bag is that it fits well on your child's back and doesn't strain their back when carrying it. Choose a bag made from durable materials like strong nylon or polyester to ensure you get a good and long-lasting bag. Remember that choosing a school bag should take into account your child's comfort, style, and school needs.

how heavy should a school bag be?

The weight of a school bag should ideally correspond with the child's age, size, and physical abilities. Generally, there are guidelines to help determine how heavy a school bag should be:

Young children (6-10 years old): A school bag for young children should typically weigh about 10-15% of the child's body weight. For example, a 20 kg student should not carry a school bag weighing more than 2-3 kg.

Older children (11-16 years old): For older children, the weight of a school bag can be a bit higher, but it's still recommended to keep it around 15-20% of the child's body weight.
Choose a school bag that suits your child's age and size. It should have enough capacity to hold the necessary school items without being too heavy.
Opt for lightweight materials and help your child organize the bag so they only carry what's necessary. If the bag still seems too heavy, consider reducing the contents.
