Choosing a school backpack for a girl in grade 1

Every parent wants their daughter to develop comprehensively and harmoniously. The more activities a student has, the heavier and bulkier her school backpack. That is why it is very important to choose him in such a way that he does not spoil the posture and health of the schoolgirl, because it is the knapsack that accompanies her during school lessons and additional classes.

The main parameter by which to choose a satchel for a first grader is its ability to relieve unnecessary stress from the shoulders and neck and evenly distribute the weight of everything that it contains over the entire back. That is why you need to carefully look at the back of the backpack.

Satchels for primary schoolchildren and schoolgirls in the back wall in the overwhelming majority of cases are given an anatomical shape with a rigid frame. It can be either pronounced or hidden under a special breathable casing. Previously, backpacks were divided into ergonomic and orthopedic, the former were comfortable and comfortable to wear, and the latter - forming the correct posture for the student.

In addition to the rigid backrest, special straps with a snap fastener also reduce the load on the back. Usually they are fastened on the stomach, fix the satchel in the most favorable position for posture and exclude its movement while walking.

How much the satchel weighs is an equally important parameter. Doctors say that 1500 g is the maximum that is acceptable for the weight of a backpack, and better - less. The optimal weight of a container for textbooks is considered to be 700-900 g. A backpack with all textbooks cannot weigh more than 1/10 of how much a student weighs.The straps must be soft and wide - at least 4 cm, in addition, their length must be regulated - then the backpack will last more than one year as the student grows.

You should not choose models with a huge number of pockets. As a rule, the more pockets, the smaller they are, and nothing will fit in them. Better to opt for the model:

• with one main compartment (it is desirable that it contains a separator);
• one middle compartment - for a pencil case or other small items;
• one or two small pockets - you can put water in a bottle or a toy in them, because first-graders often carry their favorite things to school, for them it is like a connection with home.

It is good if there are also small pockets inside - for a mobile phone, keys, documents (for example, given by parents for the teacher).

When choosing a backpack, you should prefer the vertical model to the horizontal one. Upright backpacks do not extend beyond the shoulder line. However, if the first grader is short, it is better to stay with the horizontal model, because the vertical one will put pressure on the back in the lumbar region.

A comfortable and durable fastener is another important criterion when choosing a backpack. Therefore, you need to acquire it together with the future schoolgirl, because it is she who interacts with this subject daily and repeatedly. It should be easy for a girl to open and close it.

The approximate height of a backpack for a first grader is from 32 to 35 cm, but in width it can reach 10 cm. The upper part of the backpack should not be higher than the shoulder line, and the lower - than the loin.

It is better to choose models from nylon or polyester, fabric that is water-resistant or treated with water-repellent impregnation. The bottom of the product must be hard and washable. Fabric dyes must be environmentally friendly and non-toxic.

Ratings of the best, most convenient and beautiful portfolios for junior schoolchildren appear annually. However, there are manufacturers who from year to year produce high-quality and attractive models that retain their properties for several years.

An excellent frame backpack will appeal to both first-graders and their parents. It has a rigid back and transverse ribs in it (the latter is necessary in order to better distribute pressure on the spine and provide ventilation). The straps are not only of the correct width, but they are also given an S-shape, due to which (as well as the soft filling), chafing of the shoulders is excluded. The straps have additional fixation, provided by the chest strap.

For so that the child can move safely in the dark (and in winter this time falls on most of the day) there are several reflectors on the backpack. The weight of the briefcase is only 850 g. The set includes a lunch box, a bottle for water and a bag for changing shoes in the same design, which is certainly very convenient. The model is equipped with a reinforced plastic bottom, and the inside of the lunch box pocket is thermally insulated.

The only drawback of the product is its focus on tall girls.

A firm that produces rigid-frame satchels designed for both boys and girls. The front pocket is detailed with a bold pattern, which is also the same design as the zip pulls. The general section has a partition, the outer panel is equipped with three pockets, in which you can put small items and office supplies.

The volume of each model in the collection is 12 liters, weight - 900 g. The brand's backpacks are interesting in that they can be completely unfolded, just by unfastening the zipper that runs along the perimeter of the product. This design makes it much easier to clean both the inside and the outside of the bag. The back and bottom of all models are rigid, the straps are wide and easily adjustable.The back rests in such a way that grooves remain so that air can circulate freely.

A great model to go to grade 1 with. The unusual design in the shape of a barrel makes it visually compact and neat, while the backpack itself is quite roomy - its height is 38 cm, which means that all children's textbooks and workbooks will fit into it without any problems.

The briefcase is made of an unusual EVA material, which guarantees that it will last for more than one year. The inner part consists of a large compartment of 14 liters, in addition, there are 3 pockets on the outside. The backrest is frame, equipped with ventilation. The bottom is not only dense, but also waterproof, and the zippers are durable and comfortable. Empty briefcase weight - 0.9 kg. Among other advantages, the product has a pleasant price.

Younger schoolchildren have their own ideas about what things are stylish and fashionable. Therefore, if a girl wants to decorate her portfolio with a keychain with her name or a shiny pompom, she should not interfere with her. So she will at the same time give the thing individuality and make it more "her".

For girls going to first grade (as well as boys), orthopedists recommend wearing a knapsack. The difference between a knapsack and a backpack is in a rigid body and an orthopedic back, which has a hidden or explicit anatomical shape. A backpack may not have such nuances in its design; they are often sewn from ordinary "bag" fabric. Of course, manufacturers do not clearly separate the names of the products, and the choice should be made not from the name, but from the characteristics of the model - to check the rigidity and ergonomics of the back, the width and softness of the straps, the weight of an empty backpack, etc.

Of course, the design and color of the portfolio are as important for the schoolgirl as for her parents - the safety and ergonomics of the thing. Therefore, a subject so important for study must certainly be chosen not only for its technical characteristics, but also for the taste of the future owner.

If she loves Disney princesses, you need to choose a model with one of them, if she is crazy about cats, let the image of a cat of her favorite breed be on the backpack. After all, no matter how useful the portfolio is for posture, it should still bring joy to its owner.
