Do you mean your kid is starting kindergarten? Why does he need a high quality backpack for that? Or do you live in a very expensive country?
I got my kid an Avengers backpack at Wal-Mart for $12 when he started school and it's still perfectly fine 3 years later. My brother got him a Jordan backpack for $60 for his birthday last September and the stupid thing is already breaking, the zipper is messed up.
Nope, for elementary school it has to be a real satchel. Idk if germany is an expensive country but we have so many requirements (by law!) for safety - light reflecting parts for visibility, weight and weight distribution, material, size adjusting etc. The best sets start at around 150€ and go up to 250. It's usually a gift from the grandparents.
His backpack for kindergarden? Not even 5€, chosen purely for the Paw Patrol print.
Yep, we were in a shop today for some consultation and fitting and OF COURSE my lil bean needs one certain brand and size. And the saleslady was so nice, friendly and competent, I wish I had the money to buy the set there. And lil bean was so exited!
Yeah, I dont remember this being so complicated during my school days. But now they are super ergonomical to support the young backs, grow with them, need to have a certain amount of light reflecting parts...my Nigel didnt believe me before that this was nessessary before buying a satchel - he was so flabbergasted afterwards. And the saleslady confirmed that they're having yearly training for that. It's fucking rocket science.
That sounds annoying but on the plus side, you probably won't need to do this again for years!
I think it's kinda cool that your govt cares so much about the kids comfort and physical health. When I was in high school there was a whole controversy about heavy backpacks and the damage they were doing to kids backs.
Then after Columbine it was clear backpacks. Bc if those two little scrotes had clear backpacks it would've prevented their terrorist bullshit 🙄
This is a circle for discussing plants, fungi, and slime mold. From flower beds to hobby farms; from your dying windowsill basil plant to kitchen gardens; from wild mushrooms to your failed tabletop mushroom kit.
If the species falls under the aforementioned categories, you are welcome to share advice, success, and failure.
Identification requests are also permitted, just please add the "ID Request" flair to your post.
Lastly, pictures of animals (e.g. bees) in your gardens are also welcome, but please keep animal agriculture to an extreme minimum--our focus is flora, not fauna.
Guidelines:
Be very careful about revealing your location information. If you need to give details, you probably should be as vague as possible, ie: "a desert", "the southwest US", or "USDA Zone 9"
Be very considerate of the content of photographs and if they reveal anything that can be used to de-anonymize you.

Wow, I had no idea…

Consultation and fitting for a backpack?? This is fascinating to me
