Backpack Safety: Choose a backpack with wide, padded shoulder straps and a padded back and remember to pack light. Organize the backpack to use all of its compartments. Pack heavier items closest to the center of the back. The backpack should never weigh more than 10 to 20 percent of the your child’s body weight and have child always use both shoulder straps. Slinging a backpack over one shoulder can strain muscles so consider a rolling backpack. This type of backpack may be a good choice for students who must tote a heavy load.
