How Do I Find the Perfect School Backpack for My Child?
First, it depends on what the backpack will be used for. Generally, a distinction is made between school satchels for primary school children (grades 1 to 4) and school backpacks for secondary school (from grade 5 onwards). A classic school satchel is best suited for primary school kids. For secondary school, a practical and spacious backpack can replace the school satchel. In our online shop, you will find beautiful school backpacks from numerous renowned brands, including Kattbjörn, Satch, and Nitro.
Kattbjörn's premium models offer many excellent features that provide high comfort (ergonomic carrying systems, back padding, or pelvic belt). The world-famous trend brand Nitro (known from board sports and snowboarding) is no less impressive: these backpacks feature reflectors for increased safety in the dark, padded shoulder and pelvic straps, and many different compartments.

High-Quality School Backpack by Satch
Satch belongs to Fond of Bags, a company fully specialized in producing high-quality bags and backpacks. Satch focuses on school backpacks for students in grades 4 to 8. Their backpacks are characterized by optimal ergonomic carrying shapes for children, sustainable materials, and beautiful, child-friendly designs. They offer ample storage space and many compartments such as a main compartment, laptop compartment, several smaller compartments, and board straps on the front. They are lightweight and have a large capacity between 24l and 30l.
When choosing the ideal backpack for your child, body size and weight play an important role. It is important that the backpack is large enough to hold DIN A4 materials and has a minimum volume of 25 liters. A guideline for optimal size is: the backpack’s width should not exceed the shoulder width, the top edge should align with the shoulders, and the bottom edge should rest at hip height.
Tip: Choose a school backpack with an ergonomic design to protect your child’s back and promote healthy posture.
Essential Features a School Backpack Should Have
A high-quality school backpack includes many features that improve carrying comfort and ease of use. These include:
- Padded back area and shoulder straps
 - Practical chest strap
 - Additional hip belt
 - Separate compartments for water bottles
 - Separate outer pockets
 - Reflectors
 - Rain cover to pull over
 
If your child walks to school and has a long way, a rain cover is especially important to keep books and notebooks dry. Additional reflectors on the outside ensure ideal visibility in the dark or dusk. How to pack the school backpack with your child: When packing, it’s important to arrange the contents correctly. Heavy items should be placed as close as possible to the child’s back, preferably centered near the spine. There should also be a balance between left and right. Water bottles or lunch boxes can be stored ideally in outer and side pockets, while light items go into special compartments.

Frequently Asked Questions About School Backpacks
What Is a School Backpack?
A school satchel has a frame that gives it its characteristic box shape. A school backpack does not have this frame; it is more flexible in material but offers just as many compartments as a school satchel. Additionally, it can be used beyond school purposes.
What Ergonomic Features Should a School Backpack Have?
An ideal school backpack for carrying comfort should have ergonomically shaped back padding that adapts perfectly to the child's back. Adjustable chest and hip straps should also be present to relieve the back.
For Which Age Groups Are School Backpacks Suitable?
School backpacks are suitable for children attending secondary school after primary school. The age can vary. Some recommendations set the age for switching from a school satchel between eight and ten years. Many adjustable systems start fitting sizes at around 1.35 to 1.40 meters in height.
