The extraordinary powers of the schoolbag on wheels in primary school

To take advantage of the real powers of the school backpack on wheels, you must first know them ! Here are three major advantages to having such a background in primary school...

Reduction of the load carried on the back

School bags on wheels reduce the weight that the child has to carry on his shoulders daily. This reduces the risk of back pain and poor posture.

As a reminder : Public health specialists defend the idea that the weight of the schoolbag should not exceed 10% of the child's weight. Have you ever done the math? ?

✅ The Wheeled School Bag comes to offer a solution to this problem. Thanks to it, school supplies are no longer supported by the backs of young schoolchildren. Well protected in their waterproof case, they can be towed effortlessly.

Bye bye fatigue and physical exhaustion !

Ergonomics and comfort in everyday life

School bags on wheels are little treasures of ingenuity. They are equipped with adjustable telescopic handles and two or four wheels (depending on the model). Also, they have padded shoulder straps and a padded back panel for occasional carrying.

✅ They offer an ergonomic solution that adapts to the needs of the child, allowing the schoolbag to be pulled over smooth surfaces and carried on the back when necessary (stairs, uneven terrain).

Convenience for daily commutes

Whether it's going to school, strolling around the playground or on school outings, wheeled school bags simplify daily commutes. They make it easy to move things around without excessive effort.

Just like the Traveller's Rolling SuitcaseThe schoolboy's trolley satchel offers all-day carrying comfort. And that's great !

✅ This model of luggage for school is ideal for children who walk to class.

Potential Disadvantages of the Trolley to Know

No one is perfect ! Yes, the wheeled school bag offers a great solution to lighten the backs of children. No, it is not suitable for all situations... Find out why !

The curb weight of wheeled school bags

The primary purpose of this 21st^e century: unburdening the backs of young students. But by integrating a trolley device (i.e. a telescopic handle and wheels) into the initial satchel, the luggage becomes considerably heavier.

This is not a problem if it is only intended to be towed. But it is if the child has to lift it regularly during the day (take it out of the car, take it on the bus, etc.).

▶️So make sure to choose light models and avoid overloading the school accessory.

For information : health professionals specify that the weight of a filled wheeled schoolbag must not exceed 20% of the child's weight.

Posture problems when pulling the trolley

In the same way that carrying a backpack can cause problems if it is heavy and poorly supported (for example on one shoulder), pulling a wheeled schoolbag can lead to poor posture if the child does not use it correctly.

To avoid this, it is recommended to adopt good habits:

✅ regularly interchange hands to pull the trolley ;

✅ alternating between pushing the bag (in front of you) and pulling it ;

✅ Adjust the straps to the child's morphology to carry the luggage on your shoulders. 

Limitation on certain terrains (steps, rough terrain)

Wheeled binders are great on flat surfaces, but cause problems on uneven terrain or in the presence of steps. In these cases, the child will have to lift the luggage, which requires good posture and proper load management.

❌ It should be avoided if the student has to take stairs: school or metro for example. 

How to choose the best school bag on wheels for primary school ?

We come to the choice of the trolley luggage ! Size of the accessory, ergonomics of the handle, number of wheels... Don't panic, it's not that complicated !

Criteria to consider: weight, wheels, materials

The most important thing in the choice of school accessory is undoubtedly the quality of the materials. Whether it is a Classic Backpack or a bag on wheels, make sure the accessory is sturdy.

For example, opt for resistant materials such as nylon or polyester that offer a good compromise between lightness and durability ; Choose castors equipped with a noise protection system.

There are a multitude of models:

• Single or double tube handle ;
• Trolley with two or four castors ;
• School bag with integrated or removable trolley device ;
• Trolley with a satchel-like shape or a backpack-like shape ;
• Bag with one compartment or more compartments ;
• with or without reflective strips.

Each stitch presented is chosen according to the needs and tastes of the child. But don't forget, a school bag is also chosen for its aesthetics, for what it represents: a superhero, an animal, a game...

➡️ From CP to CM2, let him choose the equipment that makes him dream!

Instructions for optimal and safe use

To avoid pain and imbalances, teach your child to alternate between the different modes of carrying depending on the situation: by hand, on the shoulders.

There's no need to carry luggage on your shoulders when traveling on smooth ground. On the contrary, avoid the use of the trolley device on the stairs...

Another important point : interior storage.

The more correctly the school supplies are arranged inside the schoolbag (respecting the rule of bulky equipment behind and lighter equipment in front), the more stability the accessory will have !

To help your child in primary school, don't hesitate to take the time to explain to him How to organize your school bag. The idea is that he adopts a habit that is beneficial for his health.

Opting for a schoolbag on wheels in primary school has many advantages for your child's comfort and health, provided that you choose it well and use it correctly. Its main asset: the simplified movement of heavy school supplies.
