School Bags

Schoolbags come in all shapes and sizes but all bags for school need to do the basics and carry books, folders, pens, pencils and gym gear. 

Most school kids aren’t much interested in comfort and more concerned with fashion.  However, it makes sense to choose a schoolbag or backpack with a well padded harness system, waist straps and sternum straps.  This means school kids can carry heavy loads without risking back damage in later life.  Caribee have a range of well designed schoolbags and backpacks that fit this purpose.

Caribee have 50 years experience in designing schoolbags, and being the Number 1 brand in Australia, most kids in Oz have owned a Caribee schoolbag at some stage in their life.

Your schoolbag should have strong straps and good quality fittings, buckles and clips that won’t let you down.

Schoolbags that benefit from lots of pockets and an organiser panel incorporated in the pack, make it easy to find your essentials for the classroom and help you to be more organised.

Schoolbags come in various sizes from 20 litres to 40 litres.  The average schoolbag is around 30 litres which is not too large or bulk but will be big enough to carry all your books for school.

Caribee schoolbags benefits from lots of features such as extra compartments, organiser sections, pocket for MP3 player so you can listen to your sounds on the way to school.  The Freshwater backpack for example even has a wet and dry compartment to keep swimsuit and wet towel away from your books.  This is a useful feature in a school bag. The Formula has a ‘cooler’ section to keep your sandwich fresh and your drink cool.

Many schools do not allow bright coloured schoolbags or rucksacks especially schools that are strict about school uniforms.  Therefore you will have to choose a rucksack for school or a schoolbag that is black or navy.

When it comes to price remember you get what you pay for with bags for school or college.  A cheap schoolbag won’t last long kicking around the playground and could be a false economy.  The Rhine is a good value backpack for school from Caribee (£25) while the Formula is a tough schoolbag for under £30.

There are cheap schoolbags available from only £15 and may well do the job.

In conclusion you need a 30 litre schoolbag, strong and robust with good quality zips and straps that will stand the test of time.  Your school rucksack should look great, have lots of features and pockets and be of good quality.  Expect to pay around £25 to £30 for a good quality bag for school.
