Adjust the ergobag correctly - here's how!
How the ergobag sits correctly
1. The Your-Size-System The >>Your-Size-System<< adapts to the height of the child and thus relieves the spine during the entire primary school years. The satchel models pack, cubo and maxi are equipped with this system. Simply unfold the back padding, release the velcro height adjustment and adjust to the correct body height. So every growth spurt can come!
The cubo light is equipped with the ultra-light >>hugging system<<. In order to make this model particularly light, we have dispensed with the height adjustment. This means that the back section does not need to be adjusted. However, the pelvic fins and the chest strap should always remain closed on the way to school so that the load can be transferred to the stable pelvis.
2. The back padding
The breathable back padding lies over the Your-Size-System and makes the ergobag particularly comfortable. It is important that the padding has full contact with the back.
3. The pelvic fins
The padded pelvic fins of the backpack transfer a large part of the weight from the shoulders to the stable pelvis. If the pelvic fins rest on the hips and the backpack sits well above the bottom, the ergobag is correctly adjusted!
__4. Strapped in correctly __
Once the back system has been adjusted, the shoulder straps should be tightened so that the backpack lies close to the back. Finally, the chest and lap belts must be fastened. Make sure that they fit snugly but do not cut in when you are standing up straight. This shifts the weight from the shoulders to the more stable pelvic area and prevents anything from slipping!
