Kindergarten school: which one to choose?

The day of the first school year is feared by many parents not only because they have to leave their child for the first time but also because it is necessary to think about every detail so that it is as well prepared as possible. To help you in this task, here are some valuable tips to remember for choose your kindergarten school bag.

Choose an age-appropriate binder

You don't choose the same binder for a 3-year-old as you do for a 10-year-old. Indeed, there are different dimensions and designs adapted to each age so that it is as adapted as possible to its morphology. In kindergarten, there is no need to choose a large backpack because not only will it probably not be necessary but it may also be cumbersome and uncomfortable for your child. You will find many "miniature" models (sizes between 32 and 35 centimeters) perfectly suited to this age as well as to the needs required by this class. Good to know: the width of the your child's schoolbag must be equal to that of his shoulders.

Choosing an ergonomic maternal binder

Your child's first binder must not only be of the right size, but it must also be practical and easy to use so that he does not have difficulty opening it, closing it and finding his belongings. In addition, the model you choose should ensure excellent handling and should not interfere with your child's movements. Scratch openings are a good idea at this age as they allow for an opening and easy closure of the binder. The zipper, on the other hand, is not the best solution because it is not only more fragile but also more complicated to handle.

Choose a comfortable binder

A bag of good dimensions and ergonomics is not enough! It must also be comfortable so that your child feels comfortable when he is carrying it on his back or that he is pulling it if it is a wheeled binder. For a backpack, the straps and back should be padded and a chest strap provides better support.

Choose a sturdy binder

Whether your child is careful or not, at that age, games and fights can quickly get the better of the kindergarten binder that sometimes needs to be replaced after only a few months. To avoid this, prefer a solid model with a thick fabric and preferably waterproof so that when it rains, its belongings are not wet and/or damaged.

Choose a fancy binder

Finally, don't forget to please your child by choosing his kindergarten school bag! This one must please him and reflect his tastes! For girls and boys alike, there are many styles, many brands and a wide variety of patterns and colours! Although they have a functional vocation, in kindergarten, the school bag is mainly an accessory that should please the child. Good to know: it's also important to give your child a choice for their first binder so they can enjoy and be proud of them. Don't hesitate to make a first selection and let him choose afterwards.
