It is difficult to realize that the beginning of the school year is so close at hand. Despite the fact that I adore the summer and don\’t want it to end, I can\’t help but become excited when I catch whiffs of the new academic year in the air. A brand-new academic year represents a clean slate, which always promises to be an exciting time. Books that are brand new, pencils that have been sharpened, clothing that is brand new, and of course, a brand new backpack. At this time of year, we are overwhelmed with advertisements for backpacks, and it can be difficult to determine how to filter down the selection. When shopping for a backpack for your kid, there are a few essential features you should look for in addition to the aesthetic appeal of the product. I have compiled a list of things for you to take into consideration…The questions that we get the most often from customers sparked the ideas for several of these helpful hints. I really hope this helps! As well as I wish you the best of success with your back-to-school shopping!
1. Size:
12” by 15-17” The majority of children of school-age use backpacks because of their adaptable size. If it\’s too huge, kids won\’t be able to carry it, and if it\’s too small, you\’ll spend every morning struggling to cram their textbooks and lunch inside. From the standpoint of an educator, the more students a class has, the better! Because of this, we decided to make the SafeLunch design square so that there would be more area inside the container for various items. I am aware that if it does not have a place, it will be misplaced! Therefore, I made sure there was enough room for everything!
2. Design:
The design of today\’s backpacks incorporates a wide variety of practical and useful elements. A water bottle holder is a feature that is typically included on the vast majority of children\’s backpacks. Make sure there is a place in the bag where the agenda can be easily retrieved if you are carrying your youngster. Your child\’s agenda can be stored in the built-in compartment of their SafeLunch backpack. It is not difficult to obtain, and their instructor will value having it. When I failed to remember important dates because the notes were misplaced in the bottom of the bag, I had to learn this lesson the hard way. With the SafeLunch vertical pocket, you\’ll never lose another message again!
3. Different hues and tilings:
It is the same experience as when you are waiting for your luggage to come on the carousel at the airport and all of the bags look the same as you glance around the room: the classroom is filled with black backpacks. Be sure to pick a color that isn\’t hard to spot, both for you and for your kid, so that you can readily distinguish it. I took it into consideration when choosing the colors for our brand.
4. Price:
When it comes to backpacks, you get what you paid for. The inexpensive ones will quickly break, while the more expensive ones will put a strain on your finances. You should budget between $30 and $50 for a high-quality backpack that will hopefully endure for years. The prices of SafeLunch backpacks are set keeping in mind the constraints of your financial plan and are comparable to those of all the main stores and internet retailers. I make it a point to get our children brand-new clothing and equipment at the beginning of each new school year… it\’s all about that clean slate, as I mentioned earlier. I was clear in my mind that I wanted our price point to make that prospect possible. Bags that cost more than $100 are not ones that you want to have to replace every year.
5. The convenience of cleaning:
Children are prone to making mistakes; they can accidentally spill stuff or put junk in the bottom of their backpacks. Check to see if the backpack has a hole that can be used for spraying. In the event that it is required, SafeLunch backpacks can be washed in a washing machine. Additionally, the exterior fabric is simple to clean…Because I am the undisputed master of spot cleaning, investing in this kind of cloth was an absolute requirement.
6. Material:
The material that is the most adaptable is polyester. It has a strong construction and is resistant to tearing. Although it is a lightweight material, nylon is very susceptible to tearing and snagging. It is not the ideal type of material for a child\’s backpack that they carry around every day. Leather is cumbersome and, if left in a wet environment, may become saturated. The bag needs to be lined in order to make it significantly more robust and water-resistant for use on rainy trips back to the house from the bus stop.
7. Be at ease:
When it comes to selecting backpacks, kids tend to be more concerned with the design of the backpack or the color of the bag than they are with the level of comfort it provides, despite the fact that it is typically the children who will be seen moving around with the backpacks on their backs. Make sure there is more cushioning in the straps as well as the back. Kids usually have a lot of homework and projects to show their parents when they get home from school, and they need to be able to carry a lot of things. Consider the level of comfort rather than the glitzy logo while making your purchase. It was crucial to me while designing bags for children that they maintain their shape and do not sag lower than the child\’s waist. When they sag, our children think it looks sloppy…this is where function and aesthetics both come into play in selecting the right backpack for you.
8. Designated Pockets:
Children can be taught new skills. The instructors will be thankful for it. Make it a point to purchase a backpack for your kid that has certain compartments and other built-in features that will make it easier for them to stay organized. If students have a specific location in their backpacks for storing things like an extra pair of socks or dry mitts, they will always know exactly where to look for those things. The convenience of parents and instructors was a primary consideration during the design process for SafeLunch backpacks. Because my children frequently lost their hand sanitizer and neglected to wipe their hands before eating, I decided to invent the HandsClean pocket to solve this problem. Because I had trouble keeping track of my notes, an agenda pocket was added to the design of this product. You\’ve got it, don\’t you? The design of each component of our bags was driven by a specific goal.
9. Adjustability:
Something that could function in August or September when the weather is warm might not work in January when there is snow on the ground. Check to see that the backpack your child uses can be adjusted. As opposed to a cumbersome snowsuit throughout the winter, your youngster will most likely only need to wear a T-shirt on the first day of school. Because Canada has all four seasons, you should bring a backpack with you. It is imperative that the straps be able to be adjusted so that they can properly fit your infant. Regardless of the weather, children always grow, which means that their backpacks will need to be adjusted accordingly.
10. Inside Liner:
In most cases, liners are not included with inexpensive backpacks. This indicates that if the backpack is left out in the rain or in a puddle, the contents inside are likely to become soaked as well. You will have an increased level of protection with inside liners. Each and every one of our lunch bags are fully lined, providing additional protection and making it much simpler to clean the interior. Examine the interior of the bag to see whether or not it has a lining for the interior.
