Why shouldn't I buy a school bag online?

A school bag or school backpack should be able to carry a lot on a developing child's back every day for several years. Our experience shows that not every brand and not every model fits perfectly on every child's back. We are convinced that good specialist advice is important - even comparing with other brands online is not as easy as in our Friedrichstraße Station. By the way, you hardly save any money on brand school bags by buying online, the RRP also applies here - the advice is free of charge for you. And then there's our after-sales service: in the event of a complaint, we'll take care of the entire process for you and you'll receive a replacement satchel from us free of charge until everything has been sorted out, repaired and replaced. I wonder if this is also available online?

Does ergobag also offer children's backpacks for daycare or leisure?

Yes, in addition to the satchels and school backpacks, we also have ergobag ease and ergobag mini in our range. The matching Kletties are also available. We would be happy to show you the different versions (small/large) and explain the differences.

Can I reserve and order from you?

We are not an online store, but place great value on individual advice and customization. But of course you can reserve a specific model or motif for a few days before you visit us - or pre-order it if it is not in stock at Friedrichstraße Station Berlin. We will then call/email you as soon as it has been delivered and reserve it for you for a few days. Good customer service is important to us. If you have any special requests: just give us a call or send us an email - we will try to find a solution!

The neatly organised satchel with a rigid frame

ergobag cubo

Clearly laid out and easy to handle. With the ergobag cubo, even chaotic little ninjas and absent-minded princesses keep everything in order. The ergobag cubo has a rigid shape made of lightweight material (1,100 g empty weight), a 19-litre capacity, and grows with your child thanks to a stepless back system. The ergobag cubo comes with a filled pencil case (German brand pens), an empty pouch for scissors or glue stick, a sports bag (which attaches to the satchel) and, of course, the multi-piece Klettie set.

The flexible school backpack from Year 1

ergobag pack

This flexible school backpack for Years 1 to 4 lets you compress the contents with a drawstring, reducing the leverage load on the back. The ergobag pack has a flexible shape made of lightweight recycled material (1,100 g empty weight), a 20-litre capacity, and grows with your child thanks to a stepless back system. The ergobag pack comes with a filled pencil case (German brand pens), an empty pouch for scissors or glue stick, a rigid notebook box to guard against dog-eared pages, a sports backpack (which attaches to the satchel) and, of course, the multi-piece Klettie set.

The super-light satchel

ergobag cubo light

At just 780 g empty weight, the ergobag cubo light is especially well suited to slimmer, lighter children. Like the cubo, it has a rigid shape, which makes it easier to keep things tidy and organised. The ergobag cubo light holds 19 litres; the stepless grow-along back system is left out to keep the weight down – yet the shoulder straps still adjust to cover growth right up to Year 3 or 4. We're happy to show you the differences in person on the actual models. The accessories and contents of the ergobag cubo light set are identical to the ergobag cubo.

The satchel for the bigger kids

ergobag maxi

The newest member of the ergobag family is a real space wonder: the ergobag maxi holds 24 litres. But the most remarkable thing about this satchel is that, thanks to the Your-Size system, the ergobag maxi grows with your body. You can adjust it flexibly from 120 to 170 cm to match your height. The 6-piece set includes the satchel, a matching sports backpack, a pencil case, a pencil pouch, an A4 notebook box and 5 Kletties.

Wir hatten bei Ranzen-Kontor einen wirklich bezaubernden Termin zur ersten Einschulung unseres ältesten Sohnes. Ein besonderer Moment, den sich die Oma nicht nehmen lassen wollte und die den Schulranzen spendiert hat. Die Beratung war absolut kompetent, sowohl was Qualität und Funktionalität angeht als auch in Sachen Rückengesundheit. Es wurde wirklich alles getestet, wie der Ranzen beim Laufen, Rennen und Springen sitzt und komplett auf unseren Sohn eingestellt. Da er für sein Alter schon relativ groß ist, kamen manche Modelle infrage, andere nicht. Genau das wurde fachlich sauber berücksichtigt. Trotzdem durfte er sich am Ende selbst für sein Wunschmodell entscheiden, samt seiner Lieblingsthematik "Star Wars". Ganz besonders hervorheben möchten wir die Verkäuferin Tina, die uns mit sehr viel Fachwissen und gleichzeitig unfassbarer Herzlichkeit begleitet hat. Unser Sohn konnte seinen Namen stolz an die Tafel schreiben und mit seinem neuen Schulranzen ein Erinnerungsfoto mit Urkunde machen. Dazu gab es noch tolle Extras wie eine Sammelmappe, Patches und Reflektoren für den Schulweg. Es wurde wirklich an alles gedacht. Das ist etwas völlig anderes, als einen Schulranzen anonym online zu bestellen. Hier trifft Fachkompetenz auf Herzlichkeit und Empathie, die einen Schulranzenkauf zu einer unvergesslichen Kindheitserinnerung machen. Dafür von Herzen Danke und viele Grüße von Vincent und Familie.

Das war ein ganz toller Termin 🫶. Ganz lieben Dank an die tolle Mitarbeiterin, die sich super Zeit genommen hat und ganz toll mit meinem Sohn kommuniziert hat! Die Auswahl an Ranzen ist aus meiner Sicht sehr umfangreich :-). Am Ende haben wir ein komplettes Set gekauft. Ranzen, Sporttasche, Brotdose etc und sogar die passende Zuckertüte. Ich kann das Geschäft wärmstens empfehlen 💐

Noch nie erlebt: diese wunderbare Kombination von Auswahl, Fachkompetenz, Beratungsqualität, Empathie, Geduld. Andrea ist alles zusammen: Erzieherin, Mutter, Oma, Lehrerin, Freundin. Eine tiefe Kennerin der Kinderseele. Sie versteht es, ein schüchternes Kind zur autonomen Entscheidung zu führen. Es danken das stolze Schulkind Raya und die glücklichen Großeltern Heide und Michael

Wir waren vor wenigen Wochen dort und haben einen Schulranzen gekauft und wir waren sehr positiv überrascht! Wir wurden ganz wunderbar beraten - mit viel Geduld, Kompetenz und ganz ohne Kaufdruck. Anschließend gab es sogar noch ein Foto mit Urkunde, worauf unsere Tochter sehr stolz war!

Wir haben hier einen Koffer gekauft und finden: Ein Geschäft „wie früher” - und das mitten im Zentrum von Berlin! Tolle Preise, große Auswahl, exzellente Beratung plus (entgegen aller Vorurteile über Berlin) große Freundlichkeit. Die Verkäuferin hat uns mit viel Geduld die jeweiligen Vorteile der verschiedenen Kofferalternativen erläutert. Am Ende haben wir uns für einen Travelite-Koffer mit drei Jahren Garantie entschieden, der im Angebot war. Sympathischer Besitzer an der Kasse, der den Eindruck erweckt, dass hier jemand sein Geschäft mit Herzblut führt, „wie früher“ halt. Sechs Sterne! :-)

Wir haben einen Schulranzen für die Einschulung unseres Kindes gekauft. Die Beratung war, obwohl der Laden voll war und wir keinen Termin vorab gebucht haben, phänomenal. Es wurde auf die Wünsche des Kindes eingegangen, die Unterschiede verschiedener Modelle erklärt und vor allem ohne Druck verkauft. Ein Laden, den wir auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen werden. 👍

Absolute recommend. It was a relief to find this store after being lost in a sea of Schulranzen, all with different specs and measurements. The consultation made the process fun, easy, and special for my daughter. Wonderful, competent staff.

Great shop with a huge offer/variety of school bags and most importantly, a top notch service. We went with our son to get his first school bag and we left the shop very satisfied, long time we have had not had such a good customer experience. Thanks and keep it up.

The staff here are so helpful and kind. They give you space to browse but are also very knowledgeable about what items they have that will fit your needs. I left with a new backpack and luggage piece - exactly what I came in for!

FAQ

Your top questions about buying a school bag

How visible are ergobag satchels in the dark?

Every ergobag backpack has reflective material on all sides, so your child is easy to spot in the dark. There's plenty of extra accessories to boost visibility even further: neon zip sets, reflector stickers, and special Klettie sets that flash or glow in the dark. Here at Bahnhof Friedrichstraße Berlin you'll also find ergobag rain covers in neon colours with a reflective logo.

How do you keep an ergobag satchel clean?

The material every ergobag school bag is made from (recycled PET bottles) is water- and dirt-repellent. Inside, there are no hard-to-reach corners – everything wipes clean easily and effectively with a damp cloth.

What accessories are available for ergobag satchels?

(Almost) anything you can think of! Every ergobag satchel and ergobag school backpack already comes with a filled pencil case, an empty pencil pouch, and a sports bag or backpack. And let's not forget the 5 Kletties that are simply included. On top of that, here at Bahnhof Friedrichstraße Berlin you'll find every accessory imaginable: neck pouches, sports bags, lunch boxes, water bottles, umbrellas, rain covers, school cones, visibility and reflector accessories, side pockets, notebook boxes, three-fold pencil cases, and a huge selection of Kletties and Hängies.

How long is the warranty on ergobag satchels?

ergobag gives a 2-year warranty on the workmanship and materials of every backpack. You can extend those 2 years by another 2, free of charge – all it takes is filling in an "Extend warranty" form online. If you bought your backpack from us, we're your service partner: just bring the issue to us (don't forget your receipt) and we'll handle everything – and for the entire duration of the repair or assessment, we'll lend you a replacement satchel free of charge. Now that's proper service, wouldn't you say?

Why shouldn't I buy a satchel online?

A satchel or school backpack has to carry a real load every single day for several years, on a child's back that's still developing. Our experience is clear: not every brand and not every model is the perfect fit for every child's back. We firmly believe good specialist advice matters – and comparing brands side by side simply isn't as easy online as it is here at Bahnhof Friedrichstraße Berlin. By the way, buying a branded satchel online barely saves you anything: we honour the RRP too, and our advice is completely free for you. Then there's our after-sales service: if something goes wrong, we handle the whole process for you and lend you a replacement satchel free of charge until everything is sorted, repaired or replaced. We wonder whether you'll find that online anywhere?

Does ergobag also make children's backpacks for nursery or leisure?

Yes – alongside the satchels and school backpacks, we also stock ergobag ease and ergobag mini, with matching Kletties of course. We're happy to show you the different sizes (small/large) and explain how they differ.

Do we need to book an appointment for a fitting?

That depends on what you have in mind – and when.

For a thorough specialist fitting for a first satchel, we recommend booking an appointment in advance. That way we can take all the time we need to try several models together and focus entirely on your child – in a calm setting and without any rush. Booking appointments lets us keep the experience relaxed and pleasant for your child and avoid awkward waiting times as much as possible. That's why families with an appointment always take priority with us.

When an appointment matters most:

Every Saturday
From Easter onwards, during peak season

On weekdays in January and February, it often works out spontaneously without an appointment too.

For suitcases, adult backpacks, school backpacks from Year 4, and nursery backpacks you usually won't need an appointment – we're happy to help you flexibly without a booking, perhaps with a little waiting time.

The easiest way to book is directly through our online calendar – that way we can plan our consultation times perfectly and make sure we can give you our full attention when you visit. We look forward to seeing you!
