How to choose a backpack for grade 5?

Choosing a school backpack for a teenager is not an easy process. When choosing a backpack, it is important to take into account in detail a number of factors related not only to the practicality and durability of the product, but also to the child's health and comfort.

Backpacks for grade 5 differ from knapsacks in the absence of a durable case, but they are worn on special shoulder straps. The shapes of such products can be different, and the sizes too. Choosing a specific model, it is important not to make a mistake in the sense of the purpose of the model - sports, tourist, urban, school. When choosing, it is worth focusing on the structural elements of the backpacks.

The sizes of backpacks are usually chosen according to the height and build of the student, and the volumes of the accessories and literature we carry with them are also taken into account.

The smallest size is determined by the largest item to be carried. Typically, backpacks for students in grades 5-11 can be from 35 to 45 cm in height.

To purchase an unnecessarily large backpack, with the expectation that "everything will be included", is inappropriate. Since it will be difficult for a student to find the necessary thing in him, and special bags are used to “change” clothes. When deciding on the size of the backpack, it is important to ensure that its upper part is not higher than the shoulders, and the back wall does not extend beyond the width of the student's back.

The weight of a backpack for a student is still controversial. The popular belief is that less is more.Nevertheless, this option is not the best, since there are special orthopedic requirements in this regard. A general guideline in this sense will be the requirement that the total weight with the largest set of school supplies and books should not be more than 10% of the student's weight.

The recommendation makes it possible to take into account the individual characteristics of the student. Although for older students this parameter is no longer as relevant as for younger students, and the main factor is the convenience of the backpacks.

Comfortable "orthopedic backs" for knapsacks and backpacks are not the last factor in a constructive sense. Such backs with a stable and rather rigid shape are more often used in backpacks for babies. In the designs of backpacks for older students, there is often a dense (anatomical) back, although there are products without it. The issue is decided on an individual basis.

There are a lot of types of materials used for the manufacture of backpacks. Typically, in the characteristics of products, the types of materials, fabrics are indicated (polyester, nylon, canvas, cardura, etc.). With different quality characteristics, synthetics always have advantages and disadvantages characteristic of it.

• does not wrinkle, does not require ironing;
• dries soon;
• has excellent durability;
• does not fade and fade a little;
• is cheap.

Minuses:

• tactile synthetics.

Backpacks for schoolchildren are almost never made from natural materials. However, there are products made of velor or real leather.

Shoulder straps for school bags and backpacks are made wide (4-5 cm) with special comfortable lining.

After purchase, the straps should be adjusted - they should be the same in height and tightly press the backpack against the student's back.

The inner sections of the backpacks are made in different quantities, usually 2 or 3 sections with the same volume. They can be complemented by internal or external pockets, available in a variety of sizes and styles.

Many backpacks often have compartments for a laptop, phone, and other gadgets. They are used both for their intended purpose and for folding other objects. The bottoms of the backpacks are made of thick waterproof materials.

Zippers are relevant for any backpack, they largely determine the degree of reliability of the entire product. The presence of the corresponding brand on the fastener, in a certain sense, is a guarantee of its quality. The most high-quality zippers are reputed to be fasteners from the Japanese brand YKK.

These backpacks must contain two or more compartments. The back space is usually used for organizers, while other sections are for textbooks and notebooks.
• The assembled weight of the backpack should not exceed 1/10 of the student's weight.Choosing strong and wide straps, a mesh back (for air exchange) means ensuring comfort in wearing a backpack. The straps and shoulder straps should be easy to adjust. This avoids unnecessary stress on the spine.

• It is desirable that the back has orthopedic properties.
• The undoubted advantage of the product will be additional pockets or holes covered with nets. They can be used to carry containers of water, and pockets for carrying small accessories.
