Too big? Too small? New backpack size offers parents more.

Too big? Too small? New backpack size offers parents more choice
Yomiuri
OSAKA
As the new school year approaches, parents face a difficult choice: whether to buy their children backpacks big enough to fit A4 materials, or conventional ones that place less strain on tiny shoulders.
Manufacturers, too, are not sure in which direction consumer winds will blow, and have placed both types on sale so parents can be left to decide for themselves.
Although backpack sizes vary depending on the manufacturer, regular versions are about 28 centimeters long and 24 centimeters wide. The new backpacks are about 1.5 centimeters and 1 centimeter bigger, respectively.
