About kids school bags

Kids school bags are smaller, lighter backpacks for pre-primary and early primary classes, with padded straps, easy zips and bright prints or character designs. Pre-schools, play schools, toy and stationery retailers and online sellers order them in bulk, often in school colours or with custom prints.

Children's bags must be light and comfortable — share the age group so size and padding are matched to it.

About trolley school bags

Trolley school bags combine a school backpack with wheels and a telescopic handle, so children can pull heavy loads instead of carrying them. Schools, school-bag wholesalers and retailers order them in bulk.

Wheels and the handle frame decide lifespan — specify them along with fabric.
