School bags come in different styles. Whether a satchel-style or a backpack-style bag is right for your child is more than just a question of taste. More traditional, “boxy” satchel-style bags make it easier for children to keep track of things and stay organized. Backpack-style bags, on the other hand, are more ergonomic and easier on the back. Many people also consider them a more relaxed, timeless style.

We at ergobag offer you a choice of six models: Besides our most popular backpack-style (pack, prime, and prime set) and satchel-style (cubo) models, we also offer the cubo light for short, slight children and the maxi for bigger kids. The maxi is brand-new for the 2023-24 season. Its back system adjusts from 1.20 to 1.70 meters (47” to 67”), making it ideal for tall children.

Now comes the part that most people find the hardest, but also the most fun: picking a design! While parents are usually more interested in the functional side of things, kids care about what their bags look like. When making your purchase, keep in mind that your child’s tastes will change as they grow. That’s why ergobag offers timeless, yet kid-friendly designs to ensure that they’ll love their bags for years to come. All of our backpacks also feature Kletties, which let children make their bags their own. Each backpack comes with a set of Kletties, and they’re available in countless additional themes. They stick to the hook-and-loop surfaces on the backpack, so kids can switch them out whenever they like. Our Hangies and Zippies offer even more ways for children to customize their school bags and express their changing tastes through the years.

Priority number one: enjoy the time you have until school starts! But at some point, you’ll want to start thinking about accessories as well. Individuality is a big factor here, because tastes change... and elementary-school tastes can change frequently. Besides, variety is the spice of life. And variety is the name of the game at ergobag, so you can update the look of your backpack as often as you like:

Kletties: Interchangeable designs with hook-and-loop backing for easy sticking and unsticking. They also stick to Zip sets!

Zippies: Large, colorful Zip sets and Zippies are an eye-catching addition to any ergobag. Zip sets with LEDs also make kids more easily visible, especially on dark days.

Hangies: Use ergobag’s lucky charms as keyrings or hang them directly from a school bag.

Here at ergobag, we want children to enjoy our bags for years to come. You can extend the warranty on your ergobag from two years to four years online—at no charge, of course!

Visibility in traffic is super important, especially for children, and especially in the darker winter months. Luckily, the ergobag already offers reflectors. Our Zip sets and stickers boost visibility even more for extra safety.

Lunchboxes, folders, water bottles, umbrellas, duffel bags, neck pouches... the list goes on! You’ll always be well-equipped to, from, and during school with ergobag accessories.
