The exceptionally lightweight Ergobag Flex school backpack is the ideal combination of maximum comfort, flexibility and advanced ergonomics for pupils in the first years of primary school. With a weight of just 870 grams and an extra-large 23-litre capacity, it offers plenty of space for all school supplies without unnecessarily burdening children’s backs.
Thanks to the innovative sliding back system “Your-Size-System”, the backpack can grow with the child from 100 to 150 cm in height (approximately from 5 to 10 years). The backpack emphasises healthy development of children’s anatomy by transferring most of the load weight from the shoulders to the stable pelvic area.
- Interior layout
Children always have a good overview in the main compartment with space for exercise books. Thanks to the flexible book compartment, heavy school books stay close to the back. Valuables have a safe place in the mesh pocket with a key ring, and the pencil case is always within reach in the zipped compartment in the lid. - Side pockets
The side pockets have space for a water bottle or umbrella. Your child has quick and easy access to the most important items whenever they need them. - Snack compartment
The front pocket can be easily opened with a zip – ideal for quickly storing a snack. The compartment is made from leak-proof material and the inside can be easily wiped clean in case of accidents. - Magnetic clasp
Simple fastening for small hands. The high-quality magnetic closure can be slid into the open position from the side and, thanks to magnetic force, closes almost automatically. - Drawstring
Thanks to the flexible shape and drawstring, you can pull the contents of the backpack in, bringing the weight close to the back and ensuring maximum carrying ergonomics. - Back padding
The shoulder straps, hip belt and lower back area are generously padded. Even when the backpack is full, it sits comfortably and effectively relieves your child’s back. - Size range up to 150 cm
Children between the ages of five and ten grow by an average of 30 centimetres. The Ergobag Flex will fit perfectly throughout, as it can be adjusted to heights from 100 to 150 cm thanks to the “Your-Size-System”. - Sports bag attachment
Ergonomic and practical – the Ergobag sports bag doesn’t have to be carried only as a backpack! On the way to school, it can be easily attached to the Ergobag Flex at three points. This not only distributes the weight evenly, but also ensures children always have their hands free! - Always keeps its shape
The backpack has a sturdy, water-resistant base with practical feet. You can set it down anywhere. If it accidentally falls into a puddle or your child puts it on a wet floor, the items inside will stay dry because the bottom part is water-resistant. - Surfaces for Kletties
There are a total of four hook-and-loop fasteners on the school bag for colourful Kletties. This gives every child a unique backpack they can change as they like. - Space for talismans
You’ll find two loops on the backpack for attaching Hangies charms. They not only liven up the backpack, but also help your child quickly recognise their bag among others. - Reflective elements all around
The Ergobag Flex is equipped all around with a large number of reflective elements, ensuring excellent visibility from all sides and in all weather conditions.
- The flexible inner compartment keeps heavy books as close to the back as possible.
- Insulated front snack pocket made from leak-proof, easy-to-clean material.
- Practical side pockets for quick access to a water bottle or umbrella.
- Easy-to-use magnetic clasp designed for small children’s hands.
- Sturdy, water-resistant base with feet that reliably protects contents from moisture and dirt.
- 360° reflective elements all around for maximum safety in all weather.
- Option to easily attach the Ergobag sports bag directly to the backpack at three points.
- Creative design with areas for interchangeable Kletties pictures and loops for talismans.
