The World on Your Shoulders

3 Tips to for the Best-Fitting Backpack

support. Padding is helpful, but how the bag sits on the shoulders is more important. Get a backpack that fits. A large pack on a young child is a recipe for trouble. It has the potential to be overfilled, which may strain a smaller child’s neck and back. Make sure the pack doesn’t sag too far under the waistline or sit up too high on the shoulders. If you can find a backpack with hip or chest straps and buckles, even better. These straps help distribute weight more effectively. Organization is key. Partitions in the backpack help keep books, binders, and other items from shifting around. Avoid bags with only one or two large compartments. Backpacks with multiple pockets are your best bet. Partitions also help keep the bag from being overfilled. Once you’ve picked out a backpack, organize everything heaviest to lightest. Place the heaviest items closest to the back for more support and better weight distribution.

When it comes to back-to-school season, one of the big safety topics is traffic. While many schools are conducting online classes this year, others are welcoming back students for in-person lessons. Naturally, there will be more cars and buses on the roads. But there’s one topic that often gets overlooked: backpack safety. As kids of all ages return to school or start school for the very first time, they’ll step into the classroom with backpacks full of binders, notebooks, textbooks, and countless other supplies. As kids get older, the contents of their backpacks can seriously weigh them down and put strain on their shoulders, neck, and back. This can cause chronic health problems as they enter adulthood, and it can impact their abilities in the workforce. What can you do? Find a backpack with proper support. Some packs offer more support than others, and some are designed to better carry the weight of books, laptops, and other items. Look for a backpack that offers both shoulder and back
