Choose & Use ENG

135-large

The transfer of books and stationery causes constant concern in the educational community (educators, parents, students) as well as in the medical world, with concern for children that they are carrying heavier and heavier backpacks every day to and from school.

This concern cannot be overtaken by POLO, which has been leading and specializing in the protection of children’s physical health and in particular in the protection of the musculoskeletal system for years.
Taking into account studies of the US Pediatric Academy, the Ministry of Education’s announcements and the orthopedic research, POLO recommends:

1. The weight of the schoolbag must not exceed 15% of the body weight of the child.

If the backpack is bigger then POLO recommends the use of a trolley bag (see the entire trolley collection )

anatomy-trolley

2. The shoulder straps of the backpack should have an inner lining even with the single case backpacks so that its weight is evenly distributed. They should always be worn both for the isomeric distribution of the load and for the proper posture of the body.

anatomy-shoulder

3. The backpack should be at the center of the child’s waist and apply as much as possible to the back and the pelvis. The content of the backpack should be sorted evenly, with heavy objects placed on the back of the backpack.

4. It is good the backpack to have a chest strap that helps in the correct posture and proper breathing. If the backpack is large, it should also have a waist strap to transfer the most weight into the pelvis to reduce weight from the shoulders and the skeleton. (These are POLO’s multi-case bags.anatomy-chest

5. The use of individual closets in school, if there are any, is important because they store things that are not needed at home. The student must update the contents of his / her school bag every day, according to the schedule so as to minimize the weight he/she carries to and from school.

6. Very important the way you wear the backpack.
The pupil should bend his knees or place the backpack at a higher point (for example, a bench) and then put it on his shoulders. in order to reduce any injuries, it can cause to the waist of the pupil.

7. Parents should not neglect the student’s or adolescent’s complaints of back pain. In such a case they should consult the pediatrician, orthopedic specialist or their physiotherapist.

The above instructions are purely advisory. Failure to do so does not necessarily you will have a problem.

Polo designs and generates backpacks that match the “want” of children and adolescents. But it is not limited to “look”. It focuses its research and production on the selection and use of accredited materials made by global organizations and specialized design, creating unique products that respond to the quality, comfort, safety and protection of its young and big friends.

POLO’s bag chronicle

Everything somehow started…

THE START…WAS DONE.

FROM MOUNTAINS 2 CITY

OBTAINING NAME

Idea-new-green

Mountain---city-new-green

Polo-new-green

Konstantinos Tubanakis, a nature lover, hiking and camping enthusiast, attempts to create on his own what he needs to practice his passion! A backpack and a tent … And it manages!

The idea is excited by his hiking friends, followed by motorbikes looking for a tool bag and very quickly discovered by the students. Demand is growing more and more. An innovation has brought great change!

The production of each product is done separately from dozens of madrides that try to respond to ever-increasing demand. In 1975, searching for a name for the company, Polo decided, a small and nice name, very different (like the bags) compared to what was then on the market.

A NEW FASHION STARTED

YOU ARE OUR HISTORY

WE CONTINUE…

The bookstores are filled with bags, 3 new Polo Centers shops are opened, and the brand name of the company is identified with the product itself even when is copied!

Your trust is our driving force. The hundreds of thousands of 3 and 4 generations, who for decades have taken us with you to the canyons, to the schools, to the sea, to the walk, to the tour, to your everyday life!

In a highly competitive environment, we are moving forward. We are a 100% Greek company, maintaining a successful sales network of 1,200 stores, we continue to produce, innovate, evolve, but always remember the passion … that gave birth to our first bag.

If you would like you can learn few words about us or contact us.

Aluminum bottles are a little lighter than a thermos, but they are not heat-insulated.

4) * I have heard that aluminum bottles can be hazardous to health, and it depends on the inner coating they have … Am I likely to be at risk when choosing a LAKEN aluminum bottle?

In no case.
It is indeed true that some aluminum bottles available on the market do not comply with FDA and EEC health regulations.
These bottles have no coating at all or, if present, are based on epoxy adhesive…
which may be potentially hazardous to your health.

even in the production of the original substances and materials provided by our suppliers.

11) * Why do some bottles ‘sweat’?

In single-wall metal containers, such as aluminum LAKEN, if cold liquid is put in, while the outside temperature is high we observe condensation of the room vapor. However, our stainless steel containers, which are insulated, do not cause condensation on their external surfaces, regardless of the difference in content and environmental temperatures.

12) * Can I place my LAKEN in the freezer?

No, we do not recommend that you put a LAKEN container in the freezer because the force that can be exerted by the liquids while they are expanding or contracting can deform the container.

Paint in the bottle may be damaged depending on the type of dishwasher used in your washing machine, or if the washing temperature exceeds 90 degrees Celsius.

We recommend that you wash the LAKEN with warm water and soap, rinsing well, and your LAKEN is ready for use.

16) Can I use my LAKEN with very hot liquids?

You can put very hot liquids in aluminum bottles, but the heat will pass through the aluminum. Be careful how you hold the bottle…. also caution … If you are drinking directly from the bottle, because you may get burned if the liquid is too hot.

17) * I can not remove the smell from something that I had put in the bottle, even if I wash it again and again.. What should I do?

We recommend that you clean your LAKEN with warm water and soap and if the odor persists, we also recommend that you soak the bottle in a mixture of water, a quarter of a cup of white vinegar and 2-4 tablespoons of baking soda, then scrub with a dish brush, and then wash your bottle normally.

18) * My LAKEN bottle fell down and now has a dent or a scratch on the paint. Is the inside part okay? Can I continue to use my bottle?

The 2-year warranty that we offer covers all bottle manufacturing problems, not damage from use or dropping. In the case of aluminum bottles, you have no problem as its inner coating is very elastic and will not be affected as a consequence of a blow of the bottle. If you have a stainless steel thermal insulation bottle that has been dropped or hit you are not at risk from harmful substances, but the insulation is likely to be affected by the blow. In this case, you can now use it as a normal, and not heat-insulating, bottle.

19) Can I take the lid apart for better cleaning?

Some of our lids have an over-wrapped seal. In these cases futura caps in the aluminum containers and in the lids for both aluminum and stainless steel containers, it is not possible to remove the seal.
