About Us

Prüfengel offers authentic consumer tests in which real users share their experiences with products. Our tests are based on practical applications in everyday life and reflect the opinions of consumers. As we focus on consumer tests, we do not carry out any material, long-term or laboratory tests. The tests are carried out by 1-2 independent consumers over a period of 7-14 days. The exact test conditions can be viewed in the test plan of the respective test report – click here to go directly to the test plan.

Manufacturers provide the tested products free of charge. We charge a one-off test fee for carrying out the tests. In addition, manufacturers pay an annual licence fee for the use of the Prüfengel seal. We also receive a commission for linking to manufacturers’ websites. These remunerations have no influence on our test results or ratings.

We guarantee transparency and a fair evaluation. For a detailed insight into our comprehensive evaluation process, please click here.

Grinsezwerge
Kids handlebar bag

The Grinsezwerge children’s handlebar bag is a great everyday companion for bike rides with children. The child-friendly size makes it possible to attach the bag to the child’s bike and gives the child the opportunity to take important items with them on the outing. The handlebar bag is currently available in sevendifferent, lovingly crafted designs. The handlebar bag impresses with its design – the main compartment is open at the top, allowing the child to pack a few larger items. A small zippered compartment on the inside of the bag ensures that important items such as small change can also be safely stowed away. The child-friendly assembly is completely convincing – the bag can be easily attached to the handlebars with Velcro fasteners so that every child can attach the bag themselves. Sewn-in reflector strips ensure additional safety in road traffic. All in all, it is a practical everyday companion for children. There are only slight deductions in terms of sustainability – it would be desirable if the bag did not come packaged in plastic.

Advantages

✅ Perfect size
✅ Storage for valuables
✅ Attractive, child-friendly design
✅ Sewn-in reflective strips

Disadvantages

❌ No sustainable packaging

The first impression

Packaging and contents

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

*The maximum score is 100 points

After unpacking, there were two things on the table: the handlebar bag and a small flyer with information and contact details. The product is adequately packaged and arrived in perfect condition . The packaging of the bag is a drawback – the product is packed in a plastic bag. Perhaps a more sustainable alternative could be found for this. The handlebar bag was made in China. The enclosed flyer is very helpful – it contains some important information about the product and the seller’s contact details. The provision of contact details in case of queries is very positive. Overall, everything you need is included in the scope of delivery.

Spacious handlebar bag in a size suitable for children

The children’s handlebar bag from Grinsezwerge impresses with its high-quality and robust feel. The surface is made of water-repellent and sturdy material, which not only gives a high-quality impression, but also indicates that the product will be used for a long time. The product indicates a sustainable orientation, as it can be used in the long term and should not wear out quickly due to its workmanship.
The size and weight of the handlebar bag are ideal for use on a children’s bike. The dimensions are perfectly dimensioned and the low empty weight of 70 g makes the bag particularly handy and practical. These features make the Grinsezwerge children’s handlebar bag an ideal companion for young cyclists.

This is what our practical test showed

Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?

ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

*The maximum score is 100 points

In the practical test, the handlebar bag impressed with its adjustable holder with Velcro fastener and good hold. The product is very easy to mount so that even children can attach the bag. Once attached, it is noticeable that the bracket has the necessary stability. The appealing, child-friendly designs in which the bag is available are also a positive highlight. A total of seven different designs are available so that the bag can be purchased to suit the child’s preferences. The storage space in the bag is a good size for children. The secret compartment is also very practical for storing valuables. The main compartment has some drawbacks – the bag is open at the top, so there is a risk of the bag contents getting wet in heavy rain. Reflectors attached to the top and bottom of the bag ensure safety on the road. The seller states that the material of the bag is laboratory-tested and suitable for children, but further information on this is not easy to find. It might be useful to include more detailed information on materials on the enclosed flyer. The easy-to-clean and weatherproof surface also ensures that children will have fun with the product in the long term. Overall, the handlebar bag made a very good impression in the practical test.

Price/performance ratio
