Particularly ergonomic, as weight is carried close to the back
We have a total of 21 different designs in the current collection. 5 new designs have been added this year. Each of these styles is designed to allow both boys and girls to find their perfect design. From playful patterns to bold colors, there’s something for everyone in our collection!
Our carrying system is based on the following three elements and pertains to the pack, cubo and maxi models:
Uniform weight distribution: The weight of the backpack is now better distributed across the chest, shoulders, back and hips to reduce the load on small shoulders.
Anatomical design: The carrying system is adapted to the child’s body shape. The 3D back support is optimally positioned in the lumbar spine, and the butterfly straps fit tight against the upper body. Both relieve the strain on the back.
Individual size adjustment: The ergobag grows with you! Our "Your-Size-System" allows the backpack to be precisely adjusted to the child’s height, from 100 - 150 cm (12 - 170 cm for the maxi model). This ensures a better fit and increases comfort.
Together, these changes provide an even more ergonomic and comfortable solution for elementary school children.
Every year, we look at which functions children really need and use and which ones are superfluous. That's how we determine where there's a need for optimization. This year we've improved our ergonomic carrying system: We’ve reinforced the padding in the lumbar spine with two more layers of foam to achieve an even more individual fit. We've also shaped the shoulder straps so that they fit even better against the upper body. And lastly, we’ve changed the fabric in the back panel to a slightly softer one, which increases comfort. We describe the ergonomics system in more detail here: www.ergobag.com/en/ergonomics
Again this year, we’ve created lots of great new styles. New to the range are Magic CloudBear, Front RunBear, JungleBear, CyBear Race, and StargazBear.
All ergobags are water-resistant. The outer fabrics of our backpacks meet the standard for waterproof fabrics, which is a 1,300 mm water column. We always use a 1,500mm water column in order to take production fluctuations into account. Why are our backpacks not waterproof? Because we don't use sealed zippers and seams.
Yes, this is very important. Books and other items often make primary school children's backpacks quite heavy. In order to optimally distribute the weight and prevent fatigue, an ergonomic school bag must not only have a padded back and shoulder straps, but also be well adapted to the child's back with chest and lumbar straps. This allows the weight to be transferred evenly to the stable pelvis.
Both models are ergonomic and have enough space for everything you need at school. The prime set backpack has 2 more velcro surfaces for Kletties and zippers for Zip-Sets. The prime set is therefore more customizable than the prime. In addition, the set contains a Pencil Case, a Folder Box and 4 Kletties in addition to the ergonomic backpack.
