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

Are Step by Step school satchels made specifically for children?

Yes, Step by Step satchels are designed specifically for children from Year 1 to Year 4. Every model features Step by Step's Easy Grow System, which lets the satchel adjust to your child's growing height all the way from Year 1 to Year 4. There are also extra-light and larger models that suit either smaller or taller children better, so you can be sure there's the right fit for everyone.

Do you stock other brands too?

Yes, we offer a range of high-quality brands. And we don't just stock school satchels and backpacks for children, but also bags and travel gear such as suitcases and holdalls for adults. Other brands you'll find in our selection include Scout, Ergobag, Onemate, Samsonite and Coocazoo. If you have any further questions, feel free to get in touch. We're always happy to help.

Can I reserve a Step by Step school satchel with you in Berlin?

You're very welcome to reserve a Step by Step satchel, or any other product from our range, or have it ordered in to our shop. Just get in touch by emailing us at kontakt@ranzenkontor.de or calling us on 030 / 23 00 20 23. Or come and see us Monday to Saturday from 10am to 8pm at Bahnhof Friedrichstraße in Berlin, and we'll help you out in person.

What range of Step by Step school satchels can I find in Berlin?

You'll find the four models that Step by Step offers in our range. The roomiest satchel is the Space, the lightest is the Cloud and the largest is the Giant. The fourth model is the 2in1 Plus, and it's something special: with just a few simple moves you can transform the satchel into a school backpack.

Will my child be easy to spot in the dark with a Step by Step school satchel?

Yes. Step by Step satchels are deliberately fitted with reflectors on the front pocket, the side pockets, the hip belt and the shoulder straps, which catch and reflect incoming light, such as from car headlights, so they light up. This makes sure your child is clearly visible with a Step by Step satchel even in the dark. If you still have any concerns about this, feel free to get in touch and we'll be glad to help.

Does a Step by Step school satchel come as a set?

Whenever you buy one of the four Step by Step models, it always comes as a 5-piece set. The set includes a fully equipped pencil case, a sports bag and a slip-in pen pouch. On top of the satchel itself, you also get the so-called Magic Mags, which let you personalise your satchel however you like.

Do we need to book an appointment for a consultation?

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

For a thorough, expert consultation on your child's first school satchel, we recommend booking an appointment in advance. That way we can take plenty of time to try out several models together and focus entirely on your child, in a calm setting and without any rush. Booking an appointment lets us make sure the consultation is relaxed and enjoyable for your child, while keeping any unwelcome waiting to a minimum. That's why families with an appointment always take priority with us.

When an appointment is especially important:

  • On all Saturdays
  • From Easter onwards, during peak season

On weekdays in January and February, it often works out fine to drop in without an appointment.

For suitcases, adult backpacks, school backpacks from Year 4 onwards and nursery backpacks you usually don't need an appointment, we're happy to help you flexibly even without a booking, perhaps with a short wait.

The easiest way to book your appointment is directly via our online calendar, that way we can plan our consultation times perfectly and make sure we can give you our full attention during your visit. We look forward to seeing you!
