Education - frame backpacks

The first bell is an important and touching event in the life of a schoolboy and his family. There are still so many interesting things ahead! Every day - new knowledge, new dishes in a cosy dining room, new games at recess. But one thing will remain the same - the school backpack. It has to become a loyal friend and assistant to the first-grader and accompany him throughout the school year. It is no longer just an accessory that you can take with you or leave at home, but an item that you must carry on your shoulders every day. Not only the mood, but also the health of the child depends on how well you choose a school backpack for a first grader. An uncomfortable backpack can provoke back pain, fatigue, and postural distortion, which may take months or even years to correct.

For younger students, we recommend the Kite orthopaedic backpack with Ergo Kids backrest.

  • The Ergo Kids supportive back is equipped with breathable soft cushions, fits snugly to the back, promotes healthy posture, helps the child keep the back in a natural position and not hunch over;
  • a frame backpack or satchel holds its shape well, evenly distributing the weight along the spine. Another advantage of a rigid box is that a backpack with such a design is uncomfortable to carry on one shoulder. This contributes to the formation of a good habit of always keeping your back straight and putting both straps on your shoulders.


The Kite school bags have reflective elements on all sides, so that the child is better seen on the road in the dark. Kite offers orthopaedic backpacks for first-graders in bright, fashionable designs featuring favourite cartoon characters such as My Little Pony, Hot Wheels, Hello Kitty, Transformers and in the College Line university style.

Questions and answers

What is a frame backpack?

The main difference between a backpack and a rucksack is that it is the same as a backpack, but with a rigid frame. Sometimes it is called a ‘frame backpack’. It keeps its shape regardless of the content, so it is considered a good choice for students in grades 1-4.

Which backpack is better: a frame backpack or a semi-frame backpack?

The thick walls do not bend and serve as a kind of ‘armour’ that keeps stationery from getting stuck. Therefore, frame models are the best choice for fidgets. Semi-frame and soft backpacks are lighter, but still retain all the qualities necessary for primary school.

What's the difference between a backpack and a rucksack?

The difference between a backpack and a rucksack is almost imperceptible, while the difference with a briefcase is obvious. The only difference between a backpack and a satchel is the shape and strength of the backrest. A satchel has a hard body and a hard backrest.

What types of Kite frame backpacks are there?

For the smallest ones up to 110 cm to 130 cm tall, we recommend the 501S and 555S models. For children from 130 to 150 cm tall, we recommend 556M and 531M.

Why does a backpack need a frame?

One of the most important elements of a backpack is its construction, i.e. the frame, which ensures even weight distribution across the backpack and protects your back from pain and overload.

In the ‘Where to buy’ section, you can find authorised stores and online shops that sell original Kite backpacks.
