Kite orthopaedic backpacks for first graders have important features that provide comfort and support correct posture:
1. The patented Ergo Kids and Ergo Back orthopaedic backrests are designed to meet the anatomical needs of younger students. The backrest fits snugly and adapts to the natural curves of the spine, distributing the weight of the backpack evenly.
2. Anatomical adjustable S-shaped straps. They are wide, soft and breathable, easily adapt to the child's shoulders, do not put pressure on them.
3. Fixing straps. The chest strap plays an important role in the correct weight distribution. It significantly reduces the load on the shoulders and back, fixes the backpack in the most comfortable position for the child so that it does not swing while moving.
Kite backpacks for primary school are certified by the IGR Institute of the German Institute for Health and Ergonomics, and are also approved by orthopedists of the Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine. This indicates their high quality and compliance with orthopaedic standards.
- Also pay attention to the functionality of the backpack. When a child is going to school, he or she has to take a lot of things with them, from notebooks and textbooks to gadgets and lunchboxes. Therefore, the backpack should have a well-organised interior space with dividers and pockets for different items.
- Equally important is the durability of the backpack. The child will carry it from class to class, open and close it, carry a variety of things in it, regardless of the season and weather conditions.
Frame or soft?
Frame models with a solid body are ideal for active children. They will protect notebooks and stationery from damage because the panels hold their shape perfectly and do not bend. In turn, padded backpacks have a weight advantage, as they are lighter than frame models. Semi-frame backpacks combine the advantages of both types. So, from the point of view of orthopaedics, it doesn't matter which type of construction you choose.
How to choose a backpack size?
When choosing a backpack size, make sure that the backpack is neither too big nor too small. The top edge should be at shoulder level, and the bottom edge should be no lower than 4 cm from the waist. If you choose a backpack online, measure your child's height. Kite backpacks in size S are designed for children with a height of 115-130 cm, and size M is suitable for children with a height of 130 to 145 cm.
To choose the best model, choose together with your child, because children choose the best! Children choose Kite.
