Chest Strap School Bags

There are bags for every style and taste.

• A classic bag with a shoulder strap keeps your school books and papers in order, but if it’s too heavy it can put too much strain on one side of your back.
• For carrying heavy backpack is better, as the weight is distributed more evenly. Choose one with different compartments to keep track of all your stuff – preferably one with a mobile phone compartment as well.

It’s important that the bag doesn’t weigh too much. As a rule of thumb, it shouldn’t weigh more than one kilo and its contents shouldn’t weigh more than 15% of the child’s weight. Think about what they need to take with them and buy a bag that’s as light as possible.

If you buy a backpack, it’s a good idea to choose one with padded shoulder straps and chest straps, as this will distribute the weight and make it easier to carry.
