Suitable straps. They must be padded, wide and adjustable so that the weight can be distributed according to the height of each child.


Divide the weight between the two shoulders. Especially in the growing season it is important that the weight is balanced to avoid malformations.


Distribute the weight inside. When loading the backpack it is better that heavier objects such as books are upright and as close to the back as possible.


Compartments. To make sure that the weight is distributed throughout the backpack is important to choose backpacks with compartments. Sharing the weight by the backpack is better for the back and is also very practical.


Do not overload. This is the key to a healthy back. The weight of the backpack should not exceed 10% of the child's weight. Teachers should also know this and keep it in mind when sending homework or taking books home.


Put wheels on it. Backpack carts are a perfect way to unload the children's back. The removable carts are very practical as they can be incorporated into the backpack as needed. If children use a cart for the backpack it is important that they change the hand with which they pull it.
