First time in first grade: 5 backpacks for first graders

The history of Deuter dates back to the end of the 19th century. Today, the brand's products are the embodiment of the vaunted German quality and reliability, no matter how trite it may sound.

The Deuter Kids model, as the name implies, is designed for children of the younger age group (3 years old and older). However, it can be used not only for going to kindergarten, but also at the stage of starting school. The dimensions of the backpack are convenient for carrying it over the shoulders of the baby, and the soft adjustable shoulder straps with a chest strap contribute to a comfortable fit of the product on the back.

Access to the main compartment of the backpack is provided through the entrance with a semi-circular zipper. Additionally, the model is equipped with a pocket in the front with a reflector to improve the visibility of the child in the dark. It is especially useful if there are courtyard passages and road crossings along the route to the school. Mesh additional pockets on the sides of the backpack are ready to take on board a container with a drink, and near the place where the straps fit, the backpack is equipped with a secret pocket where you can put house keys and other small things.

All the charms of the model are crossed out by a soft frame, which is why the backpack does not keep its shape in the best way. However, against the background of light weight (only 300 g), a rigid back, high quality tailoring and bright colors of Deuter Kids, this shortcoming can be neglected. A couple of notebooks, a textbook, stationery and a lunchbox with a snack will fit in it without problems, and for more content, larger models are provided.

The choice of backpacks under the KITE brand is truly amazing. What can I say, the same backpack model can be produced in a huge number of colors: with prints of cartoon characters, all kinds of drawings or colorful patterns.

From the front panel of the KITE 501 Transformer school backpack, the permanent leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime, the main character of the Transformers comics and films, proudly looks at the world around him. Accordingly, the model is entirely focused on the boyish audience. Under the protection of the combat robot is a capacious main compartment with internal dividers for notebooks and textbooks. A separate pocket for a pencil case is placed on the front of the satchel, in addition, Hook-and-loop mesh pockets are dispersed on the sides.

KITE backpacks are not in vain recommended for schoolchildren by the Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine - thanks to the orthopedic back, along with a rigid frame and S-shaped straps, an even distribution of the load is achieved without unnecessary pressure on the spine. In addition, the mesh structure of the “back” provides free air circulation between the satchel and the back of the child, allowing his body to “breathe”.

Due to the structural features of the model, it cannot be called particularly light - the scale needle with an empty satchel on the platform deviates to a value of 850 g. In fact, this is the only controversial point in the KITE 501 Transformer, which is fully compensated by the use of entirely high-quality fittings and excellent wear resistance of the backpack.

Upixel backpacks stand out from the crowd with the ability to change the design of the front panel, creating your own drawings of multi-coloured pixels on it. For preschoolers and kids who first set foot on the school threshold, the brand's lineup has a good offer under the name Junior.

The backpack with a bright, memorable appearance is available in two pink (for girls) and two green colors (unisex). The materials of the model are dominated by moisture-resistant nylon, diluted with a silicone insert on the front side, where the "chips" are laid out. There are 160 of them in a set with a backpack. (green, beige, pink, blue, white and black). And for your hard-earned money you can buy them additionally.

The model has only one internal compartment with a small pocket for small items. Its volume is 7 liters, which is not so much. In view of such an organization of the internal space, the backpack will quickly ask for a replacement, because for the 2nd or 3rd grade you need a more spacious satchel so that the contents in it do not “cook in one boiler”. Also, the model does not have an orthopedic back - almost a mandatory attribute of a suitable backpack for first-graders.

Multi-coloured pixels make an unbearable contribution to the development of fine motor skills of the child's hands, his fantasy and imagination. Another coin in the treasury of the advantages of a backpack is its light dead weight (about 400 g), which is an important point of characteristics for children of primary school age. In general, Upixel backpacks are produced for both children and adults, so among the brand's collections, everyone will find an option according to their own taste and preferences.

Backpacks from the domestic brand 1 Veresnya are famous for their indestructibility - the margin of safety for orthopedic frame models is such that one product is usually enough for all the years of elementary school. A vivid confirmation of the above is the model with the H-12 index, presented on store shelves in a wide range of all kinds of girlish and boyish colors.

A rigid back is placed at the head of the design of the backpack, which prevents the curvature of the spine and contributes to the formation of a correct posture in the child. Wide S-shaped shoulder straps with flexible height adjustment also help to rationally distribute the load. In the center of each of them there is one reflective element, another pair of reflectors is located on the sides.

The “insides” of the model are divided in two: closer to the back is the main compartment, and in the front there is a smaller pocket with an additional mini-compartment with a zipper. A lot of things fit in a backpack, but you should not overdo it with loading it, since the product itself weighs about 1 kg. To this figure it is necessary to add the weight of textbooks and related stationery, so it turns out that one of the parents often has to wear a backpack.

Positive impressions about 1 Veresnya H-12 Blue Flowers are added by waterproof fabric and a reinforced bottom with protective legs, provided for putting the backpack “in the parking lot”. In the bottom line, the model successfully combines functionality, adaptation to the needs of younger schoolchildren and a remarkable style that they will like.

The unusual backpack MadPax Bubble Half is designed to become the center of attraction for the curious glances of classmates and peers of primary school age. It's all about the unique "pimple" design of the model, the "body" of which is generously strewn with bubbles.

The backpack becomes suitable for first graders due to the prefix Half in its full name. It indicates the reduced dimensions of the model in comparison with the Full version - 35x30x15 cm versus 46x35x20 cm, respectively. The latter is best suited to match teenagers and adults. The basis of the outer shell of the backpack is polyspandex material, which tolerates repeated stretching without the slightest consequences.

Nylon predominates in the internal materials of the model. The road to the only compartment is laid through a zipper lock that closes on both sides. And in order to find the backpack faster in case of loss, a window has been made in the back of the product for a name tag. A separate line pleases with the optimal weight of an empty backpack - 640 g.

The exclusive design of the MadPax Bubble Half is “spiced up” with full compliance with all the standards for worthy representatives of the school backpack family. The model has an orthopedic back and wide shoulder straps, besides, the product keeps its shape perfectly. He would have had a more humane price tag and there would have been no end to those who wanted to get a backpack at all.
