Fits big and small – the ergobag grows along
The pack, cubo and maxi models all use the Your-Size-System. The cubo light uses the Hugging System instead, which saves weight and adjusts individually via its fitting straps. Ergonomics is a major factor in how we develop our products – so children get a good fit whether they're tall or small.
There are no limits on the look either: swappable Kletties and colourful safety sets mean the backpack can be adapted to a child's taste at any time – whether dolphins, dinos or unicorns happen to be the thing right now.
Adjusting the backpack is child's play
A school backpack is the right one when it fits perfectly and is built to take the strain off your child's back. A lot of things go into a good fit: the straps should be comfortably padded and pleasant to wear for children of any size and build. A chest strap relieves the back – and it shouldn't just be adjustable in height, but also in width so it sits exactly right.
That's how it works on the ergobag models: the chest strap adjusts individually in both height and width, so it grows along – whether your child is slight or more sturdily built.
The hip belt matters just as much. The ergobag's Beckenflossen – hip fins that wrap around the hips – shift most of the weight off the back and onto the sturdier pelvis, close to the body's centre where it pulls the least. The circumference adjusts flexibly from around 55 to 90 centimetres, which covers everyone from a slight first-grader to a sturdy fourth-grader.
One thing matters here: the chest and hip belts have to actually be fastened. Otherwise the whole weight ends up back on the shoulders.
Depending on the model, one of two ergonomic carrying systems is used:
the Your-Size-System on the pack, cubo and maxi – height-adjustable and growing along from 100 to 170 cm,
or the Hugging System on the ultra-light cubo light – especially snug and ideal for smaller, slighter children.
Adjusting the carrying system is child's play, and it's part of what makes the ergobag a proper everyday hero. The IGR e. V. seal "Ergonomic Product" confirms it.
This guide shows you exactly how to adjust your ergobag:
The design adapts too
You know how it goes. Before school starts it's dolphins, shortly afterwards dinosaurs, and by year two it's unicorns. Buy a new backpack every time? Not a chance. Which is why it helps when you can adapt the backpack not only in size, but in looks as well.
At ergobag, swappable Kletties mean children always have their favourite motif with them. They can choose from more than 30 Klettie sets or design their own Kletties. And that's not where the personalisation stops: the backpack can also be kitted out with safety sets to match personal taste. They come as plain sets, with reflective stripes, or as side pockets with extra storage – each in four fluorescent colours, for every ergobag model.
So you can be sure the backpack will fit and please your child throughout primary school. However much they grow – and however often their taste and their favourite animal change.
Big backpack or small? No problem
With a school backpack from ergobag you don't have to worry about whether it will fit your child. The ergonomics make sure the backpack sits comfortably and looks after the back – on small, slim children and on tall ones alike. Freedom of movement and safety come as standard. In short: the ergobag does your child good, in every sense.
