As parents and kids are getting ready to get back to school, how safe are backpacks? A very timely and informational post. How Safe Are Backpacks. Can they cause injuries to your child? Are they too heavy, do they carry their weight properly, are they being packed properly for even weight distribution? Kids get backaches because they carry all their text and note books, supplies, and personal items with them. These can become serious problems. The recommended carry weight is no more that 10-15% of the child’s body weight. Heavy backpacks can cause back and neck strain, chronic or lifelong back pain. (2 comments)
