As the time for first bells and September festivities approaches, an exciting moment of choosing a new backpack arrives for future schoolchildren. This event is so thrilling and important! You want to stop time and savor its tremblingly sweet taste. Because our little ones are already stepping on the threshold of a new stage of their lives and will soon become wiser and more mature.
Choosing a backpack for a first-grader is no less moving than choosing a wedding dress for a bride. But if a festive outfit usually brings joy for only one day, a backpack for the 1st grade will serve the child for a whole year. Every day, the little one will put it on their delicate shoulders and carry school supplies, delicious homemade lunches, and, of course, their first academic achievements in it.
How to choose the right school bag for a first-grader?
All satchels for first-graders must meet the following requirements:
Orthopedic design
- Orthopedic backrest
Kite models for first-graders feature patented orthopedic Ergo Back and Ergo Kids backrests. They are designed specifically for elementary school students, dense and comfortable for little ones. Soft and breathable pads delicately follow the natural curves of the spine, evenly distributing the load across all its sections.
- Anatomical straps
Wide adjustable straps of the correct S-shape fit perfectly on children's shoulders, absolutely no pressure or rubbing.
- A chest (and waist) strap secures the backpack in an optimal position and helps distribute weight correctly. When the child walks, the backpack remains securely fixed, and the straps do not slip.
An orthopedic backpack for a first-grader is a must-have that will not only give the little one a sense of comfort but also carefully protect their posture. The back will not get tired, and the child will not hunch.
Kite first-grader backpacks are approved by the German Institute for Health and Ergonomics IGR and recommended by orthopedists of the Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine.
Backpack volume and weight
How to understand if the backpack model is the right size
Every child is unique. To choose a backpack that will perfectly suit a future student, when trying it on, pay attention to the following details: the bottom of the backpack should be 4 cm below the waist, and the top edge should remain at shoulder level. Adjustable straps and belts will help you adjust the backpack comfortably to the student's parameters.
Pay attention to the size of the product indicated on the label. It must correspond to the child's height parameters.
| Size: | Child's Height: |
|---|---|
| S | 115-130 cm |
| M | 130-145 cm |
The weight of an empty backpack should be up to 1 kg, and a filled one should not exceed 10% of the child's body weight.
Internal organization
A well-thought-out system of dividers for notebooks and books will help the child easily maintain order and keep school supplies neat. Special side pockets for a water bottle and soft-lined pockets for gadgets add particular convenience.
Frame, semi-frame or soft?
Any type of Kite orthopedic backpack is excellent for first-graders and has its own advantages.
Frame backpacks help fidgety children maintain order and protect notebooks and albums from bends and crumpling.
Soft backpacks are the best choice for children who have already learned to neatly fold school supplies. Their advantage is their extremely light weight.
Semi-frame backpacks perfectly maintain their shape and are lightweight.
Quality, strength and reliability
German Kite backpacks are made from materials that combine incredible strength, durability and lightness. The outer material, lining fabric and accessories are of impeccable quality and perfectly cope with daily school loads.
