As a reminder for the school season, your child’s backpack should never weigh more than 10-20% of their body weight. To avoid straining your child’s muscles, it's also important to choose a backpack with wide, padded shoulder straps and a padded back. Make sure to also pack heavier items closest to the center of the back. 🎒
