The exceptionally lightweight Ergobag Flex school backpack is the ideal combination of maximum comfort, flexibility and advanced ergonomics for children in the first years of primary school. Weighing just 870 grams and offering an extra-large 23-litre capacity, it provides plenty of space for all school essentials without putting unnecessary strain on children’s backs.
Thanks to the innovative sliding back system “Your-Size-System”, the backpack grows with your child from 100 to 150 cm in height (approximately from 5 to 10 years). The backpack supports healthy development by transferring most of the load from the shoulders to the stable hip area.
- Internal organisation
Children always have a clear 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 are safely stored in a mesh pocket with a key ring, and the pencil case is always within reach in the zip compartment in the lid. - Side pockets
The side pockets provide space for a water bottle or umbrella, giving your child quick and easy access to the most important items when needed. - Snack compartment
The front pocket opens easily 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 tighten the contents, bring the weight close to the back and ensure maximum carrying ergonomics. - Back padding
The shoulder straps, hip belt and lower back area are generously padded. Even when fully packed, it sits comfortably and effectively relieves strain on 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 the “Your-Size-System” can be adjusted for heights from 100 to 150 cm. - 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 keeps children’s hands free. - Keeps its shape
The backpack has a firm, water-resistant base with practical feet, so it can be set down anywhere. If it accidentally falls into a puddle or is placed on a wet floor, the items inside stay dry thanks to the waterproof bottom section. - 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 whenever they like. - Space for talismans
You’ll find two loops for attaching Hangies charms. They not only liven up the backpack, but also help your child recognise their bag quickly among others. - All-round reflective elements
The Ergobag Flex is equipped with plenty of reflective elements all around, ensuring excellent visibility from every side 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.
- Firm, water-resistant base with feet 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.

Ergobag is a premium German brand of school backpacks that has been offering an innovative combination of ergonomics, sustainability, and playful design since 2010.

The brand’s philosophy also emphasizes the use of non-toxic materials, transparent manufacturing processes, and long-lasting products.
Today, ergobag is one of the most respected brands of school backpacks in Europe. Its products have won numerous awards for ergonomics, design, and quality, including certification from the German Institute for Health and Ergonomics (IGR).
