Once you know which are the popular brands of baby backpacks, all you have to do is select a brand and choose a model that meet the following criteria:

Weight

If you choose a backpack for a first-grader, its weight should not be more than 800-900 grams. If the backpack is for kindergarten, its weight should be even less—from 250 to 800 grams.

Ergonomic back

The ergonomic back of the backpack distributes the weight evenly and does not burden the back of the child. This is an extremely important criterion that should never be missed.

Adjustable straps

Backpacks for kindergarten and first grade should be fitted with two wide, soft, and adjustable straps.

Distribution

The optimal backpack should have one main compartment separated by a barrier in which textbooks and notebooks should be stored. In addition, it is advisable to have an additional compartment for storing boxes of pencils, chemicals and other school supplies. There should be several outer pockets and at least one outer, mesh pocket to hold the water bottle.

Reflective elements

Reflective elements are a must, as they guarantee the safety of the child if they walk home from school on cloudy days when it’s darker.

Material

It's a good idea to buy a backpack that is made of durable, easy-to-clean, and waterproof material.
