Which lunch bag for your child?

To answer this question, you need to define your child's needs in terms of appetite, use, comfort, and taste. To help you, here are some things to think about:

➡️ Opt for a snack bag that meets your child's aesthetic criteria.

The bag's ability to taste

The first question to ask yourself when choosing the best snack bag for your child is the capacity of the bag. What do you want to put in the lunch bag? To answer this question as accurately as possible, it is wise to ask yourself the following questions:

• Is my child a small or good eater?
• What types of meals will fit in the snack bag?
• Will the snack bag have to contain a drink?
• How many pockets should you have to put cutlery and/or a small towel?

By imagining the dimensions of the ideal snack for your child, you will see more clearly and can opt for the right bag size.

The choice of an insulated bag

Getting around with a snack bag

You should choose a lunch bag that will adapt to your child's mobility. Will a handle or handles be sufficient or is it better to consider a bag with a shoulder strap? It all depends on how your child will use it.

Prefer the bag without a shoulder strap if you want to place it in a satchel or backpack to carry only one piece of luggage.
