Hm, I don’t think it’s as suitable. Sometimes the bags have quite a bit to carry (lunchbox, water bottle, library books) and it would be better if it can be carried on the back. I would use the bag for sport, beach, swimming or a sleepover

It’s probably acceptable, but do you want that kind of wear and tear on it? Or to keep it for more special occasions?

I don’t know what this is, hope you make a good decision

If it doesn’t strain his back and is easy to carry, as well as fits everything he needs for school, I don’t see why he couldn’t use it.

My boys have a school back pack which all kids use. I guess it comes down to what your happy with and if the school are happy with it

I guess if your child is happy and wants to use it, then I guess so.

If you don’t want to use it as a school bag, maybe it can be used to carry bathers. towels etc for swimming lesson if your child goes to them. If you have a little one it might be handy for a spare baby blanket if you use a stroller in cold weather, or a child who occasionally has an “accident” you could put spare undies / knickers in it in the boot. I’m sure you will find an alternative use for it fi you don’t use it as a school bag….. a larger snack bag for the playground??

A good backpack will last for years and you will not need to buy a new one every year – saves $.

Investing in a good backpack which supports the back and shoulders is a good idea as they are very sturdy and go the distance and care for little backs. It does depend on the age of your child and the school too.

I suppose so, it depends on the school and what they need to carry to and from school.

maybe ask the school – and remember, although it pains me to say it, kids want to fit in with their friends, so may prefer a backpack??

As long as if fits into the locker space provided at school it shoudnt be a issue, as well as be big enough to hold their books and lunch & water. Unless it a strict private school..

My opinion is these do the same damage as the older style school port/suit case, they make you lean to the side that is carrying the bag. A proper backpack with a chest and back harness are far better for posture and comfort.

It depends on the schools, but in general I’d say yes. On the other hand it doesn’t look very comfortable to carry, does it? A backpack looks easier to carry, in particular if your child needs to carry heavy stuff.
