All About LEGO Backpacks
Buying a backpack for a school is not easy. Often many parents do not know what to look for when choosing a backpack. A child, going to first grade, should have not just a beautiful model, but a backpack that meets the necessary criteria. LEGO products are just the most successful option when choosing a backpack for a student.
Peculiarities
The history of the founding of the Danish company LEGO began in 1934. The name comes from Leg godt, which means "play well" in Danish. Initially, the company produced world-famous designers, which consisted of snap-on parts. Later, the production of school bags for children began. Due to their impeccable quality and striking design, the backpacks of this manufacturer have become very popular in more than a hundred countries around the world. Currently, products are manufactured not only in Denmark, factories are located in Germany, Czech Republic, Mexico.
The main emphasis in the development of models was aimed at making the child feel comfortable.
LEGO models have soy features.
- One of the important components is the presence of an orthopedic back. This is a very important detail, as a certain amount of pressure will be exerted on the child's back and shoulders when the backpack is regularly worn. Such loads can lead to posture disorders, deformation, pain. In such models, there is a fairly rigid frame. The briefcase has shoulder straps more than 50 cm wide. This ensures that the backpack fits snugly against the back, and the weight of school supplies is evenly distributed. Choosing a model with an anatomical back, the child will not drag it, bending over from the weight, which will prevent possible back problems.
- Product weight - up to 800 grams.Models weighing more than 1 kg are highly undesirable for primary schoolchildren, otherwise the load on the body will increase significantly.
- The models of this manufacturer have a Sponge mesh on the back. Thanks to the volumetric layer of this mesh, constant air exchange takes place. On hot days, the student's back does not sweat when interacting with the back, as it comes into contact with air.
- The manufacturer chose waterproof nylon as the material, so LEGO backpacks will repel water. Thanks to this material, you can not worry about the safety of textbooks and books in case of rain or sleet.
- Models are made of dense fabric, which is easy to clean and wash. If necessary, the backpack can be quickly refurbished.
- The presence of reflective parts, placed on different parts of the backpack, will help the baby to remain visible in the dark.
- Manufacturers also took care of a sufficient number of pockets and inserts.
- An important factor is the availability of durable high-quality fittings. All fasteners on products and locks are designed for a large number of openings. Thanks to this, such fittings will not break and will last for several years.
But it's not just smart design that sets LEGO products apart. Backpacks also differ in their interesting design. The range of models is quite large. Everyone can find a suitable option for themselves. Bright, stylish and comfortable models will not leave indifferent any child. You should also pay attention to the fact that manufacturers use durable waterproof fabrics with a high level of wear resistance in the manufacture. The material has a rich color, does not fade.
When choosing a backpack for primary classes from LEGO, you should rely on certain criteria.
- The model should be suitable for the growth of the baby, correspond to its volume. It is necessary to try on a backpack with and without bulky clothing.
- Make sure the selected portfolio has an accessible weight. If you fill it with books, the weight of the product should not exceed 15% of the student's weight.
- You should purchase a model that suits your baby's needs. Textbooks and notebooks should not hang freely inside the product, otherwise it will soon lead to damage to their appearance. In addition, the weight of such a product will be more than required.
- To reduce stress on the spine, it is better to choose a model with a main compartment for books and place them closer to the back.
- It is important that the product fits snugly against the back, the backpack should not dangle. This can be achieved by adjusting the shoulder straps and the fixing strap.
The model should have an ergonomic back with soft inserts for ventilation, a chest strap.

Review overview
About LEGO backpacks, we can say that these are not just ordinary accessories, they are time-tested products. Judging by the numerous reviews, the company's products enjoy well-deserved fame. These products are of the highest quality and durability. It is not uncommon to buy a new backpack for an older child, while the old one is still fully wearable.
All parents made the main emphasis on an orthopedic back, thanks to which children walk with an even back and do not complain of fatigue or back pain.
Separately, it should be said about the food storage compartment. There were many good reviews about it, as thanks to the insulated compartment, the child could have a warm, full meal after school. Putting a container with food in a spacious compartment with a zipper, you don't have to worry about keeping food warm. By the way, the contents in such a compartment will keep the initial temperature - both heat and cold.
Although the price of the brand's backpacks is quite big, judging by the numerous reviews, it fully justifies itself.
There have been laudatory reviews for the product design. Children are happy to put things in a portfolio, go to school and always try to carry it home themselves without the help of adults.
The advantages of the models, according to many, also include the high capacity of the backpack for the student. However, it is not too heavy. This happens due to thoughtful details in the form of an orthopedic back and comfortable shoulder straps.
The accessories in the form of a bag for changing shoes, which can be used independently or together with a backpack, were also appreciated. Many also liked the idea of fastening the keys to the house.
Nevertheless, the main disadvantage for many was the price of the product, despite its obvious advantages.
