In detail

Once the school backpack is sorted, there's usually still one thing missing: a proper gym bag for all the sports gear. The Step by Step "Dog Basty" gym bag in turquoise is built exactly for that gap — it visually matches several Step by Step school backpack designs and offers noticeably more room than a standard drawstring gym sack, with 13 litres of capacity. The real everyday advantage is the separate wet-item compartment on the side. Anyone who's ever had damp swim gear or sweaty sports clothes sitting right next to a snack in the same bag knows why this isn't just a nice extra. Shoes, damp textiles, or worn clothing go into the side pocket, while the main compartment stays free for clean spare clothes. For PE lessons, swimming class, or club training, that's a genuine practical benefit — especially when the bag keeps moving between the changing room and the school bag compartment. The bag can be carried the classic way, by hand, or over the shoulder — the shoulder strap is removable and adjustable in length, so it can be sized to fit the child and taken off entirely when the bag is only carried briefly. That flexibility makes it work for different situations, from the walk to school to afternoon club training. On materials, Step by Step takes a more sustainable approach: the fabric is made from 100% recycled PET bottles and finished with a PFC-free, bluedesign-certified coating. For parents who care not just about looks and function at the start of the school year but also about how a product is made, that's a detail classic gym sacks usually skip. In color and print, the bag is matched to the corresponding Step by Step school backpack range, so backpack and gym bag work as a set — handy for kids who like a consistent look from first grade onward, but the bag also works perfectly well on its own if only the gym bag is needed. In daily use, it comes across as an uncomplicated companion: sturdy enough for the daily school run, roomy enough for sports shoes plus a change of clothes, and hygienically separated enough thanks to the wet compartment that you don't have to wash the whole bag every time. Anyone looking for a functional yet visually appealing solution for school sports and free time gets a well thought-out overall package here, without unnecessary extras.
