Backpack Safety

Ill fitting backpacks are a leading cause of back and neck pain for millions of children and adolescents in the U.S.  The American Chiropractic Association suggests asking the following questions when finding the right backpack for your child.

  • Is the backpack the correct size for your child?

  • Does the backpack have two wide padded shoulder straps?

  • Does your child use both straps?

  • Are the shoulder straps adjustable?

  • Does the backpack have a padded back?

  • Does the backpack have several compartments?

  • Is the weight of the loaded backpack less than 10% of the child's weight?
