Look for a padded backpack, which makes for easy carrying and comfort. It also protects the child against sharp edges on objects inside the pack. Don’t over pack. The backpack should never weigh more than 15-20 percent of your child’s body weight, especially in the younger years. Never let your child sling a backpack over one shoulder. It can strain muscles and/or cause loss of equilibrium. Always use both shoulder straps. Teach your child to organize and balance the backpack by using all of its compartments. Pack heavier items closest to the center of the back.
