What backpack should you choose based on your child's age

A child's backpack should be the right size for them. At nursery and preschool, a small, light bag, like the Fabelab Solid from the Danish brand, or the mini Pol Fox, is enough for a cuddly toy, a snack, and a change of clothes; the child should be able to open it by themselves. Models featuring their heroes, like the Jemini Paw Patrol, Paddington, or Ballerina, make the bag more appealing. In primary school, a larger bag, like the Samsonite Disney, should have cushioned backing and adjustable straps: it shouldn't exceed the width of the shoulders or the hollow of the lower back.

Baby and children's slippers: flexible and non-slip soles

For a baby crawling or taking their first steps, the slipper should allow the foot to move freely: a flexible sole, that bends easily, and an upper that supports the ankle without being tight. Cienta slippers, a Spanish brand, and Mikk-Line slippers in wool or dinosaur patterns keep feet warm on a cold floor. For older kids, Victoria, a Spanish brand founded in 1915, offers models with animal patterns. A non-slip sole prevents slipping on tiled floors, and it's important to check the size with each season change, as feet grow quickly.

Winter hats: Reima, Didriksons and Barts

A child's hat should cover the ears and stay in place during playtime. Reima, a Finnish brand founded in 1944, and Didriksons, established in Sweden in 1913 for making rain clothing for fishermen, design their hats for the Nordic winter, featuring soft linings and ear-flap models like Biggles. Barts, a Dutch brand, creates the Akeya for girls. The Reima Rainy rain hat, with a wide brim, protects the neck from downpours. A chin strap keeps the hat secure on little ones, who tend to take it off.

Small bags, pouches, and heated socks

For older ones, Guess bags in styles for girls, mini crossbody bags, hobo bags, or faux fur models, adapt the brand's styles to a suitable size. The pouches Kid'Abord Harry Potter, round or with double compartments, store pens and markers in class, and the Bluey wallet teaches little ones to manage their pocket money. For skiing or cold days, heated socks Lenz, from the Austrian brand, incorporate a heating element powered by a battery fixed to the cuff. A name marked on each accessory helps prevent loss at school.

Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum weight for a child's school bag?

General recommendations limit a loaded bag to about one-tenth of the child's weight. For a child weighing twenty-five kilos, that means two and a half kilos, hence the importance of having the lightest possible bag when empty.

What size slipper does a baby need?

Measure the child's foot while standing, from heel to the longest toe, and then add about one centimetre for extra room. A slipper that is too big can cause them to trip, while one that's too small can hinder foot growth.

How to wash wool slippers?

Wash them by hand in cold water, using a gentle wool soap, without scrubbing or wringing. Let them dry flat, away from direct heat, to prevent shrinking or felting.

Are heated socks suitable for children?

They are designed for gentle warmth, adjustable to several levels, and the battery can be removed before washing. Start at the lowest setting and check that the child doesn't complain about being too warm.

Wool or fleece hat for a child?

Wool remains warm even when damp and regulates temperature well, but it can irritate sensitive skin. Fleece, soft and lightweight, dries quickly; a wool hat lined with fleece combines the two benefits.
