School time is fun, especially for kids. A new session means a lot to the school-going children – new uniforms, new pencil or geometry boxes, new books and copies, tiffin boxes, water bottles, sports kits and mobile phones. And to carry all these safely are school bags is no mean feat!

This would be a typical scenario during the pre-Covid times and with the gradual reopening of schools, the demand for school bags has once again shot up.

Now, a lot of people may think that a school bag is a generic type of bag, a zipped version of a shopping bag and why make so much fuss about it?

This would be a myopic way of thinking about the practicality of a school bag and in real time what it is supposed to do.

As school grades go higher, so does the weight of the books and associated stationary accompanying it. The design and construction are more important than the cosmetics. So, to go about it?

The best way would be to first ascertain how much load the bag is expected to carry, that is the strength part. Second step would be to calculate the volume of daily books and paraphernalia that are to be hauled. Then look inside the bag and check out what’s in there when it comes to storage. Make sure there are enough pockets to accommodate and secure things like pencils, pens, geometry boxes, mobile phones among others. Some bags will come with pouches for water bottles and name tags.

Among considerations is also the size of the school bag and the adjustable shoulder straps for the user. The fabric generally is waterproof or layered so the contents are in general protected from the elements. Fabric bags are also available but not recommended for use in high rainfall areas.

Kids can be very choosy about the type of school bags they would want to have, so it makes sense to look for them in shops or stores that sell them. The problem that one may face is that it could take quite a bit of browsing around shops to get that perfect one!
