Primary School
Een rugzak of boekentas is meer dan een tas. Het is het dagelijkse maatje van je kind, vol boeken, lunch en persoonlijke spulletjes. Bij Arijs vind je rugzakken die stevig, praktisch én mooi zijn.
How do you choose the right rucksack for school?
Size by age
- 6 years (first year of primary school): compact, light and easy to carry
- 8 years: slightly roomier, with separate compartments for organisation and clarity
- 10 to 12 years: sturdy and large enough for books, sports equipment and personal items
Our Arijs tip: a 18 to 30 litre rucksack is ideal for primary school
Don't forget: a good school bag must have room for books, notebooks, pencil case, water bottle, lunch box and sometimes even gym kit.
Extra handy: check out our gym bags and pencil cases for a complete school set.

Frequently asked questions from parents
How heavy should a school bag be?
A child should not carry more than 10-15% of their body weight. So choose a light, ergonomic bag.
Are backpacks with wheels better?
They seem handy, but are often heavy and awkward on stairs. A good ergonomic backpack is usually the better choice.
