"Please help us find an orthopedic backpack for a first-grader that will withstand all the school days of my active son, and it must have transformers!", - parents often come to our consultants with such requests.
It's not surprising that one can easily get confused among the huge assortment of backpacks. We invited our consultant Maryna Solovyova to talk about one of the models that is ideally suited for elementary school children.

Since we are talking about students in grades 1-4, it is extremely important for parents that the backpack has an orthopedic back. Children go to school, and an entirely new life begins for them. And we know the enormous amount of information they receive at 6-7 years old. The briefcase will have to carry books, notebooks, an album for drawing, crafts, and even a tablet.
We cannot change this, but an orthopedic backpack will help keep a child's back healthy. Today, we will talk about the Kite 555S model. It is designed specifically for schoolchildren with a height of 115 to 130 cm.
Advantages of the 555S framed backpack
- The child's back health will be supported by the patented orthopedic backrest Ergo Kids with "breathable" soft pads. It repeats the natural curve of the spine and reduces the load on the lower back. The model has passed certification, complex orthopedic tests, and is approved by the German Institute for Health and Ergonomics IGR.
- Perhaps you have noticed different types of straps. In this model, they have an S-shape, which helps maintain correct posture, prevents discomfort in the neck area, and keeps the backpack better on the shoulders.
- The detachable chest strap evenly distributes the weight to all parts of the spine and secures the backpack. When running or walking fast, it presses the back firmly against the spine and does not shake it.
- The backpack has a dense front panel and a streamlined, smooth shape. Outwardly, it resembles a turtle shell. Children like it. It opens wide, making it easy to retrieve items from the very bottom.
- On the side, there are 2 mesh side pockets with elastic bands. Children often bring water or juice with them, and the external placement of the pockets helps save precious space inside.
- The reinforced rubberized bottom does not bend under the weight of books and maintains the backpack's stability. There are feet, made of frost-resistant material. You put the backpack on the floor, and it doesn't fall over. Children constantly drop their briefcases. They might even leave them on the ground outside and play. If the bottom gets dirty, it can be easily cleaned with a cloth or a wet wipe.
- A mandatory element of all school backpacks is reflective elements on all sides. This makes the child visible on the road in the dark. The Kite brand is for safety!

Let's look inside
One large main compartment for school supplies. The internal mesh pocket is convenient for storing essential small items, adapted to the size of a pencil case and lunchbox.
As early as first grade, many schools teach children using a tablet. It replaces books, and it is possible to download specialized textbooks, so the backpack has a separate pocket for a tablet.
There is a convenient system of internal dividers for books and notebooks with an elastic fastener. It is located near the back and helps prevent the center of gravity from shifting while walking.
The lining is colorful and contrasting. Against its background, the child can easily find even the smallest item at the bottom of the backpack.
