Tips for the perfect school bag or toddler backpack – Back to School 2025
Summer vacation flies by, and before you know it, September will be upon us. A fresh start calls for the right school supplies, and one item always stands out: a good school bag or toddler backpack. At Maxime Schoenen, you'll find a selection of high-quality, ergonomic, and stylish models from Stones & Bones , Trixie , and Zebra . This guide will help you make the right choice for your child.
School bags for primary school
A school bag should be both practical and comfortable, especially when children carry a full bag every day. That's why we offer two sizes from the Stones & Bones brand, known for its durable materials and smart, child-friendly designs.
Small model: ideal for 1st to 3rd grade
For young children, a compact, lightweight school bag is best. They have enough room for books, notebooks, a lunch box, and a water bottle, without the bag becoming too heavy. A school bag that's too big is not only cumbersome but can also put a strain on their backs. The small model from Stones & Bones is therefore perfectly suited to the needs of young school-goers.
Large model: suitable for 3rd to 6th grade
As children get older, their school supplies increase. The larger Stones & Bones model offers ample space for folders, larger planners, and additional supplies. Thanks to the reinforced back and soft, adjustable shoulder straps, the bag remains comfortable to wear even during this phase.
Toddler backpacks for the littlest ones
For toddlers and preschoolers, it's important that a backpack is light, compact, and easy to use. At Maxime Schoenen, we have two brands that perfectly match this: Trixie and Zebra .
Trixie: playful, soft and recognizable
Trixie backpacks are designed with cheerful animal faces, such as a fox, lion, elephant, or crocodile. They are ideal for small children thanks to their lightweight design, soft carrying straps, and compact size. The color themes and patterns also perfectly match the matching water bottles, lunch boxes, and lunch bags.
Zebra: trendy and cool for toddlers and young schoolchildren
Zebra combines trendy prints with durable materials: glitter stars, leopard prints, rainbows, pastel combinations… There's a favorite for every child. The bags have soft shoulder straps and handy compartments, ensuring comfort even on longer school days or outings.
Why ergonomics is so important
Children carry their bags daily, often full of school supplies or lunch. It's therefore essential that a school bag or backpack supports their back instead of weighing them down. Brands like Stones & Bones, Trixie, and Zebra pay close attention to ergonomic details. Think sturdy back panels that support posture, shoulder straps that conform to the body, and materials that are water-repellent and durable. A good bag prevents back pain, crooked gait, and unnecessary pressure on the spine.
School supplies that match the bag
A good start to school goes beyond just a bag. At Maxime Schoenen, you'll also find water bottles, lunch boxes, lunch bags, and pencil cases that complement our backpacks. The Trixie and Zebra collections, in particular, offer perfectly matching accessories, allowing you to create a complete set in one go. Convenient, stylish, and organized.
