It’s Backpack Season Again For Our Kids!
Written by Jon on September 4, 2013 |
Do you notice your child doing any of these when using his or her backpack?
- leans forward to carry the backpack
- has difficulty getting the backpack on or off
- complains of pain symptoms
As your children prepare for their return to school, you may be concerned about what kind of backpack to buy for your child. In this case, “one size” does NOT fit all. So how should you choose?
I wrote an important article about backbacks last year that will help you pick the correct backpack.
