So today we bought a school bag for our kid. He'll start school next year so you could say that this was early.
But the bag was "just" 70€ reduced from 250.
250 Euros for a kids school bag.

And everyone I know buys them.

Same with these ridiculously priced Woom bikes.

Apparently parents are easy to milk, because who doesn't want the best for their kids, right?

Well sucks for our kid that I am not willing to pay stupidity tax.
He learned riding the bike on a cheap one last year just fine.

@derthomas Yes, that's true. However, there is no lighter bike with a higher resale value - tested for you, twice already 🤓

True, they are light AF. But as I wrote, our son didn't need longer to learn how to ride a bike without support wheels.
And now he can easily switch bikes with his friends whereas they have trouble riding his "heavy" bike🤭

@derthomas Yikes! At that price, I'd expect it to come full of books. And not any books.

My mom made all my backpacks I've used during school, save for the very first one, which was bought and for the very last one, which my dad got as a gift from work during my uni days. I still use a couple of them to this day.

My first school bag was a Knight Rider one. It was basically a box with straps. Simpler times...

Nowadays all parents will tell you "you have to get <insert massively overpriced thing here>, it is so good for the kid".
