🗣️ Hey, parents! Let's talk backpacks. We all know that kids' backpacks can sometimes look like they're packing for a cross-country road trip, but let’s keep it safe and comfortable to avoid injury. Here are 5 tips to make sure your child's backpack isn’t a backbreaker: 1. Choose the Right Size 📏: Your child's backpack should be no wider than their torso and should hang no more than 4 inches below their waist. If it’s drooping to their knees, it’s time for a size check! 2. Strap In 🎒: Look for padded, adjustable shoulder straps. They’ll help distribute the weight evenly and prevent those "I’ve been carrying this thing all day" shoulder dents. 3. Pack Lightly 📓: Keep the backpack weight under 10% to 20% of your child's body weight. 4. Proper Lift 💪: Teach kids to lift with their legs, not their backs. Avoid bending at the waist! 5. Even Distribution ⚖️: Pack heavier items closer to the back and lighter items towards the front. It’s like balancing a see-saw—only with school supplies! Happy packing and back-to-school prepping! #BacktoSchool #BackpackSafety
