If it is picked incorrectly up, the child can have various problems, beginning from the juice spilled on textbooks and finishing with violation of a bearing. Correctly to choose a satchel, it is necessary to consider a set of various factors.
Requirements to a schoolbag
According to hygienic standards the schoolbag of the pupil of initial classes together with contents should not weigh more than 2-3 kilograms. Therefore for the first grader it is necessary to choose the easiest model. The qualitative satchel has to have an orthopedic back, made of foam rubber and flexible plastic. Thanks to such back the load of a backbone of the child is distributed evenly. And soft inserts from foam rubber do not allow satchel contents to press strongly to the pupil on a back. The covering of a back has to pass air, otherwise the back of the child will constantly sweat.
Small cunning: if the handle of a satchel is located so that it is not really convenient to carry it in hands, the child will always put on it a back.
The following important parameter of a good satchel – convenient straps. They have to be elastic, wide (not less than 4-8 cm) and the supplied soft inserts not to injure shoulders. Besides, straps have to be regulated on length that the child could carry a satchel on any clothes.
In a qualitative satchel there is a rigid aluminum frame allowing it to hold a form. Thanks to this insert the textbooks and notebooks evenly are located in a satchel and are not rumpled even if the child leaves it on the earth or in a heap of other satchels, portfolios and backpacks. Pay attention to existence of reflective elements. They have to be located from all directions – on the satchel face, on sides and on straps. It is good if in finishing of a satchel are used also the bright fluorescent materials doing the school student are more noticeable during daylight hours. It is very convenient if at a schoolbag there are a lot of pockets and various offices. In them the child will be able accurately to place all trifles, necessary for study. And also to take in school a small bottle with water, a breakfast, the cell phone.
Check product seams - lines have to be strong and equal as children often use satchels instead of ice-boats or stools. Ask the child to undo and clasp all fasteners independently.
