Question

Approprite bags for pre-schoolers?

Answer 1

My pre-schooler initially had a normal carry-on bag. But she was attracted by her classmate's more colorful stroller bag with wheels and cartoon character. I believe at this stage they become envious of other kids properties specially if its the type that they like. Maybe it would be good to know what your kid prefers then start from there. If he/she wants to be independent and bring the bag by herself, it would be good to buy a stroller to prevent the child from needing to carry the bag and just pull it.

Just my input from my own experience. Hope it helps

Answer 2

Pre schoolers are too young to carry bags but if needed than a light weighted and ergonomically suitable. Bag(small rucksack kind) can be carried on both the shoulders.

Answer 3

I would say no wheels.

The most dangerous things on the bag with wheels are the handles which can get stuck open or closed, and if the child has to go up or down stairs this can be a hassle.

My nephew has a bookbag...it has space and isn't to heavy if you don't overload it.  I have used a bookbag since kindergarten and still use mine to this day.  

Plus little kids usually like bookbags....there are lots of cute ones out there....

Just my two cents......
