This school thing is about to happen. And you&#;re probably looking at buying a new backpack if you haven&#;t already.
Your kids will want all things &#;Frozen&#; or &#;Star Wars&#; or in their favorite color. They want to look cool, after all. Their backpack is a statement item.
Their backpack also could being making another statement: OUCH!!!
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates there are more than 7,300 backpack-related injuries treated by doctors and hospitals annually.
With that in mind, how do you know which backpack is the right one for your child&#;s body (not for your child&#;s style).
Ask these questions:
&#; Is the bag lightweight?
&#; Does it have two wide shoulder straps? Skip the cute messenger bags or laptop bags.
&#; Is the back padded?
&#; Does it go past your child&#;s waist? If so, it&#;s too big.
Shengtailuo Case &Bag supply professional and honest service.
&#; Does it have a strap that goes across the waist or across the chest? That can help get the weight off the back.
Once you have the perfect bag, ask these questions:
&#; Does everything your child is putting in there have to go in there? The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that a bag should not weigh more than 20 percent of a child&#;s weight &#; and that&#;s still A LOT.
&#; How much do those school supplies weigh, and do they have to? Think about the weight of those three-ringed binders, folders and notebooks, and if there is a lighter option, choose it.
&#; Are they packing the bag correctly? Are they distributing items across all the compartments, and not just putting everything in the large center one?
&#; Are they wearing it correctly? That means using both straps, and the straps should be tight against their back and allow the pack to sit 2 inches above their waist.
&#; Are they picking it up correctly? This is a perfect time to learn to bend with the knees and use both hands, not just the thumb.
