Back to School buying guide – Bags, lunch boxes & school gear
Updated: · Techbox, Thessaloniki
The right school bag, a lunch box that does not leak, and school gear with a child’s favourite character. What to check so everything lasts the whole year.
The school bag
The bag must suit the child’s height: it should not hang below the waist and should have wide, adjustable straps. A common rule is that the full bag should not exceed around 10-15% of the child’s body weight.
For the early primary years, bags with a rigid back hold their shape better. Trolley bags help when the walk to school is long.
Lunch boxes and bottles
Look for BPA-free materials, a lid that seals tightly and a size that fits in the bag. Lunch boxes with compartments keep foods apart, and insulated bottles keep water cool all day.
Gear with a favourite character
A child takes more care of something they love. That is why school gear featuring characters, from Minecraft and Pokémon to Disney, lasts longer. Everything is gathered in the Back 2 School category.
