School Bag Guide

How to Choose the Right School Bag

Choosing a schoolbag that fits well in size and meets all the necessary requirements is crucial, and we're here to guide you through the process. That's why we've created this guide for you.

A schoolbag is a child's base throughout the entire school day. It should be stylish, functional, and most importantly, comfortable! First and foremost, it is essential to remember that everyone comes in different heights, so it’s a good idea to measure your child’s back. You'll find instructions on how to do this further down the page.

School Bags for Bigger Kids

For children aged 6-10 - These bags are ideally suited for kids in grades 0-3 or when their first school bag is starting to feel a bit too small. This is a guideline, and the best way to determine when it's time to upgrade the bag is by measuring your child's back. The bag's height should closely match (+- a couple of cm) your child's back length. Measure from the shoulder to the lower back. The bag should not extend beyond the tailbone.
