4 Essential Tips for Choosing the Perfect Backpack for Preschool

Let your little one leave for school with a big smile with the right backpack for kindergarten.

1. Why a backpack for preschoolers is essential

A well-fitting backpack ensures that your toddler can easily take their favorite cuddly toy, water bottle, lunchbox, and cookie/fruit with them. A toddlerbackpack is much more than just a little bag for things. It helps your child learn to organize, boosts their self-confidence, and promotes their independence. 

2. What should you pay attention to when choosing?

The right one children's backpack is sturdy, functional, and fun. Note:

1. Size: Choose a backpack that is no taller than 32 cm for preschoolers. The following items must fit in the backpack: lunchbox, water bottle, cookie and/or fruit container. Make sure it is not too big either. 

2. LightweightYour child wears it themselves, so choose a light backpack.

3. Easy to open: Choose a zipper or snap closure so your child can easily open and close it by themselves. 

4. Adjustable straps: This way, the backpack grows with your child. An extra chest strap can also come in handy for preschoolers. 

5. Water-repellent: Preferably choose a backpack or book bag made of a water-repellent fabric. This way, it stays looking good longer and the items inside the backpack won't get wet when it rains.

3. Personalize: backpack with name

Personalizing the backpack is of course nice to easily recognize it. Zo is not only recognizable in the classroom, but also a personal pride for your child. For example, choose a striking keychain.

Often backpacks also have a label along the inside where you can easily write your child's name. 

Of course, we can also personalize your backpack by embroidering your child's name on it. For a backpack with a name, feel free to contact us at the number +32475300612 or by email (info@milk-bar.be) for more information or visit the store. 

4. Making sustainable choices

More and more parents are choosing a sustainable children's backpack – and rightly so. Environmentally friendly materials are safe and good for the planet. Nowadays, many backpacks are made from Recycled PET bottles. The advantage of this is that this fabric is resistant to daily life in the kindergarten classroom and is also easy to clean.
