Today is National Backpack Awareness Day. Is your child wearing a backpack correctly? Below are several tips to reduce pain and injury.
• Use both straps instead of carrying on one shoulder. Straps should be tight and supported by the child’s body
• If available, hip belts and chest straps should be fastened
• Backpacks should be worn high on your child’s back; they should sit an inch or two above the hips.
• The weight of the backpack should be equal to no more than 10% of the child’s body weight
• Heavier books should be packed toward the child’s back
