Weight and size
According to the established norms, the weight of a backpack of a middle school student is from 0.7 kg to 1 kg. The weight of the backpack depends on its size and materials of manufacture. The greater the height and volume of the knapsack, the heavier it is. For this reason, do not try to purchase an accessory 5 years in advance. It will create uncomfortable sensations in the back, cause pain in the muscles of the back and neck. The standard sizes of a schoolbag for children 10-12 years old are:
- height 30-35 cm;
- width 6-10 cm.
The upper border of the product is at the level of the girl's shoulders. The lower one is where the belt is, and the sides of the accessory (width) should not come out from the sides. The length of the straps is also important for the comfort of the child. The width of the shoulder straps should not be less than 4 cm, the maximum length is 70 cm.Remember that the girl carries on her back not only a backpack, but also textbooks, changeable shoes, sports uniforms, a snack and a lot of other things that are necessary and not very useful for learning : toys, tablet and other children's joys. Regular inspection for excess cargo in your child's backpack will greatly lighten the weight of the portfolio... According to the norms, its weight with all its contents should not exceed 2.5 kg.
Back
The back of the backpack keeps the child's spine healthy. And for a girl of 10-11 years old, she must still be stiff enough, have the correct anatomical body shape in order to create comfort for the schoolgirl, distributing all the weight evenly over the entire back. Maintaining the correct posture, especially for a girl, is very important. Try to convince the child that the soft shapeless model of the shoulder bag is not intended for long-term wearing of school supplies and leads to the appearance of scoliosis.
The materials for the manufacture of the back wall should be comfortable, not cause painful and unpleasant sensations in contact with the back. An excellent option is to cover with a soft ergonomic mesh fabric, which is comfortable and practical.
Material
A backpack made of practical and durable fabric that can be easily refurbished: wipe with a damp cloth and let dry on its own, suitable for an active naughty woman. Backpacks made of polyester and nylon with a waterproof coating serve well for five-graders, especially if the owners do not stand on ceremony with them too much. Throw them on the floor, sit on them, and even practice downhill skiing.
Products made of leather, suede and their substitutes for girls who are more serious and independent, who understand that careless handling will make the life of a backpack much shorter. Any option that you choose should be sewn from environmentally friendly, harmless materials that do not have unpleasant odors.
When purchasing a product, ask the seller if the bag has a quality certificate, which contains full information about the accessory.Otherwise, taking a backpack for a child is not worth it, no matter how attractive it may seem to you.
