How to choose the best backpack for school
When shopping for school bags, you should consider the following factors.
Size and capacity
A heavy backpack often causes students to develop shoulder strains, back pain, and poor posture as it fails to distribute weight evenly across the body. Thus, a school bag should strike the right balance between spaciousness and portability.
College students with more items may opt for larger backpacks with higher carrying capacity, while high school students can benefit from medium-sized school bags. Grade school students should opt for smaller backpacks to avoid straining their small frames.
Comfort
A backpack should be comfortable to wear even when fully loaded. If you spend long hours with a packed bag in transit to and from school, we recommend you opt for a backpack with padded and adjustable shoulder straps and padded back panels to reduce strain and discomfort.
Durability
Choose backpacks made of high-quality materials, such as nylon or polyester, that can withstand the wear and tear of daily use. Ensure that the zippers are sturdy and the stitching is well reinforced. Additionally, water-resistant materials are advantageous for students who carry water.
Organization and compartments
A backpack with multiple compartments makes organizing and accessing items easy for students. Look for backpacks with multiple compartments and double zippers for easier access to your belongings. A dedicated laptop compartment and a side pocket for a water bottle are also excellent additions.
Style
A backpack typically lasts for an entire school year. Choose a design that reflects your personality and taste. Trendy and flashy backpacks suit students with a penchant for fashion, while more reserved students may prefer bags with darker colours and minimalist designs. Cartoon-themed backpacks are perfect for grade school students.
Security
Parents of grade school students should consider backpacks with reflective strips or patches to enhance visibility and minimize the risk of accidents during school commutes. High schoolers can benefit from bags with hidden pockets to safeguard their belongings.
College students with credit cards should opt for backpacks with RFID shielding technology to protect against accidental payments and intentional skimming.
