Safety: An Important Measure for All Schoolchildren

Parents should take every conceivable measure to enable their children to have a safe route to school. This is particularly important during the winter season, as it gets light later and visibility is poorer. Without the necessary safety precautions, it can quickly happen that an inattentive child is overlooked by a car, bus, or motorcycle driver. To avoid such tragic accidents, there is safety equipment. If you would like to find out more, take a look at this category on safety.

High-Quality Products for More Safety in Road Traffic

On bags.co.uk, we offer various products for more safety in road traffic. These products are a good addition to reflective school bags. Admittedly, school bags in Germany are subject to very strict requirements and are therefore safe in themselves. Nevertheless, it can't hurt to use additional equipment. Buy high-quality products like safety vests now. After all, your children's safety is at stake.

Inspirion Safety Vest

Tip: Safety equipment alone is not enough to keep children safe on their way to school. Far more important is that parents show their children how to behave. This includes, for example, not talking to strangers, only crossing the street when the light is green, and using pedestrian crossings.

Safety Vests

Adults usually only wear safety vests when they have a breakdown or have been involved in an accident and are outside a built-up area. It's a little different with children. Here, a safety vest is generally advisable whenever they are out in the dark. Children are simply not quite as careful and are easily distracted. If they are not seen at the wrong moment, it can have fatal consequences. A safety vest reduces the risk of an accident by increasing visibility with its reflective elements. It is particularly suitable for elementary school children.

Reflective Rain Covers

Rain covers primarily serve to protect against rain. The child stays dry and doesn't get sick. However, they are also a good safety precaution in road traffic. Like most other safety products, the rain covers have a bright color such as a bright green, pink, or purple. In addition, they are made of a retroreflective material. When the rain covers are illuminated by a headlight, they light up directly. This, in turn, ensures that the child is more visible.

School Bag Covers

As mentioned before, school bags in Germany must meet strict requirements. A clear example is DIN 58124. DIN 58124 places high demands on fluorescent and retroreflective material, rainwater resistance, and carrying straps and handles. Nevertheless, it can still happen that a car driver or other road user notices the child too late. Visibility can be improved with a school bag cover. School bag covers are usually brightly luminous elements that are simply pulled over the school bag. They can be made of different materials, such as recycled PET bottles.

Fluorescent Safety Sets

Some brands like Ergobag offer a wide range of products for more safety in road traffic. These products include, in addition to Kletties (velcro patches) and Hangies, larger safety sets. Most of these safety sets are three-piece and include several reflective elements in a bright color. These elements can be, for example, side pockets. The side pockets with their fluorescent surfaces are simply attached to the school bag and immediately ensure higher visibility. Since safety sets are available in different colors, they can be flexibly adapted to the design of the school bag.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Safety Category

How can a reflective rain cover for the school bag increase safety in bad weather?

Bad weather harbors some risks. On the one hand, it can soak clothes or even cause injuries - for example, in the case of hail - and on the other hand, visibility is far worse than in good weather. To cover both risks, parents should not give their children just any rain covers, but only rain covers made of a reflective material. The material protects against larger vehicles such as cars, buses, and motorcycles, as they can see the reflected light from a great distance. This makes a big difference, especially in rain or fog. Even protection from cyclists is given. Provided that the cyclists adhere to traffic rules and use their lights in poor visibility.

Why are reflective strips for the school bag important for children's safety?

In the past, the requirements for school bags were much looser than today. It happened quite often that school bags for children had little or no reflective elements. Today, this is no longer possible, as very strict safety regulations apply in Germany. School bags must have reflective strips so that children are clearly visible in the dark. However, they are not always sufficient to guarantee optimal protection, which is why you should take additional safety precautions. What you ultimately use is up to you. If you have already bought a fluorescent safety set, you don't necessarily need a school bag cover. However, a reflective rain cover for bad weather should never be missing.

Which products are best suited to increase children's safety on their way to school?

Basically, all products that increase children's visibility on their way to school are a good choice. The main thing is that they fulfill their task and are well made. The most important products include:

  • Fluorescent safety sets
  • Reflective stickers
  • Reflective rain covers
  • School bag covers
  • Safety vests

The difference between the respective products mainly lies in their use. Fluorescent safety sets, reflective stickers, and school bag covers are attached to the child's school bag. A reflective rain cover or vest, on the other hand, is worn. The effect is the same: better visibility in the dark.
