Girls' Wheeled School Bags

The wheeled school bag: the most practical school bag for girls

Preparing for the new school year can take up all your time as a parent. Choosing school supplies — and especially the right school bag — takes a lot of patient searching. It requires plenty of time to finally settle on the perfect choice, one that also meets your daughter’s wishes. Compared to a standard backpack, the wheeled school bag is ideal for several reasons. Your child will never get tired of carrying it, and she can switch between dragging it like a mini suitcase and wearing it on her back like a regular school bag — depending on how she feels. A wheeled school bag is the best choice you can make for your princess’s wellbeing. You’ll protect her from any potential back pain. It’s something your child will use every day, all day long. So it’s essential to give her exactly what she needs to be 100% comfortable throughout all her hours of school. Which wheeled school bag for secondary school? How to choose a wheeled school bag for primary school? Here’s everything you need to know about wheeled school bags.

What is a wheeled school bag?

Among the wide choice of backpacks and school bags, the wheeled school bag is a classic that many of you will have known from your own childhood. If that’s the case, you’ll surely remember the great times you had and how much this type of bag helped you throughout your school years.

A wheeled school bag with endless benefits

It’s a school bag that has certainly been around since before your daughter’s time, but that hasn’t stopped it from evolving. Available nowadays in modernised styles, different colours, shapes and designs, you’ll have an almost unlimited number of options to choose from. With its integrated wheel system, it’s easy to transport, and with its telescopic handle, getting around is a breeze. It’s ideal for your princess whatever her age — from nursery right through to her teenage years.

More than just a regular backpack

The wheeled school bag is adjustable and ergonomic. It can be worn as a backpack thanks to its classic straps or padded shoulder straps, depending on how rigid it is. Your child may well want to carry it on her shoulders from time to time. It’s a very useful bag with all-in-one functionality. Its reflective strips help keep your little one safe on her journey to school. Like a standard backpack, it’s also waterproof and water-resistant for wet weather.

A very durable product

It’s a very sturdy school bag. Excellent quality, it’s made from carefully selected materials chosen to ensure robustness. On the outside, your child can easily access her snacks or small everyday items through the external pockets — a side pocket or zipped pocket depending on your preference.

Practical and essential

The practical benefits of a wheeled school bag are numerous. Trolley bags with a detachable handle help your child avoid carrying an overly heavy bag. She can simply pull it along, and if she wants, she can detach it whenever she likes to wear it on her shoulders.

Choosing the right wheeled school bag

You’ll need to follow a few guidelines and look out for certain criteria to make sure the bag suits your daughter’s needs. It must be adapted to her height and weight — otherwise it could cause instability when she carries it. Knowing that many shapes and colours are available, you can browse our catalogue with your daughter before making a decision, so she can share her style and personal taste with you.

A wheeled school bag to suit your child’s size and weight

Your child’s build plays a crucial role in choosing the right bag. It helps determine how heavy the bag can be for your daughter. As a rule of thumb, the bag should weigh no more than 10% of your child’s body weight (if she weighs 27 kg, for example, the bag itself should weigh no more than 2 to 2.7 kg when full). Your princess’s height also matters when it comes to adjusting the strap length correctly. The straps should be fitted perfectly (neither too tight nor too loose, but at exactly the right length) so she’s as comfortable as possible. It may also be that your child wants to carry her bag more than she pulls it. Bearing in mind that children are naturally active, loving to run and play with their friends. That’s perfectly fine! For a young pupil, simply adjust the bag to sit about 4 to 6 cm above her waist. Don’t forget to take your child’s school year, weight and build into account when fitting her bag — it will help avoid any discomfort during her school day.

Organising the contents of the school bag

Help your child learn how to distribute her things by making good use of all the bag’s compartments. The heavier school supplies (folders, books and exercise books) should go at the back, near her back, and as things get lighter (pencil case, felt-tip pens, coloured pencils, etc.), work your way towards the front of the bag. When choosing your wheeled school bag, make sure there are enough internal and external compartments (for pockets) for your child to store her luggage — including all her school supplies and personal items: pencil case, folders, pens, exercise books, books, snacks, notebooks, etc. Wheeled school bags are generally wider and bigger than regular backpacks, so your child can easily fit large-format books and exercise books inside.
