An improperly selected school backpack can be one of the causes of curvature of the spine in a child. The main thing to pay attention to is comfort, not the colors and the number of pockets.
Instructions
Step 1
The back of the backpack should have a built-in dense frame, preferably orthopedic. This allows you to evenly distribute the load on the spine when worn. If there is no lightweight aluminum frame, and the backrest itself is shapeless, refuse to purchase.
Step 2
It is very important that the straps of the backpack are wide and soft. These straps do not cut into the shoulders, which means they are easier to wear. When choosing a backpack, check all the fasteners that are designed to adjust the length. They must be durable and reliable.
Step 3
The backpack should not lose shape when placed on a table or floor. The denser the partitions inside, the higher the likelihood that notebooks and textbooks will not wrinkle while wearing. The weight of an empty backpack for a first grader should not exceed 1 kg.
Step 4
Don't buy a backpack to grow. This can negatively affect posture, and free space is an extra excuse to load him with additional burden, for example, toys. The top edge of the backpack should be at shoulder level, the bottom edge at the waist. One of the prerequisites: A4 accessories (sketchbooks, notebooks for music, etc.) must fit inside.
Step 5
To prevent textbooks and notebooks from getting wet in the rain or snow, opt for a backpack with a water-repellent coating. It will be easier to clean it from dirt, and it will last longer. Pay attention to the strength of the inner and outer seams.
Step 6
For the safety of the child, it will be useful to purchase a backpack with reflective inserts. They are designed primarily to enable drivers to see a child crossing the road or on the highway at night.
Step 7
When choosing a school backpack, it is important to take into account the opinion of the child himself. After all, if he does not like the purchase, he will not handle it carefully.
