Vacation ends and there comes school again. This time as it’s a new year at school, it only helps if the students get everything they need in proper order and settle in. Here is the time for students to go shopping for new back pack. The students could choose the back packs that benefit them in the longer run.

Obviously starting a new year at school means new books and new materials. This would increase the weight of the backpack and thus the stress on the child’s shoulders so while choosing a backpack make sure that the backpack has two straps rather than one as two will help reduce the weight on either shoulder by distributing it. Well chosen back to school backpacks can reduce the pressure off students on the first day of school.

Since the loads are heavier in the new year of school its always better to choose a backpack with wheels because then the students can let their backs breathe rather than stressing them out on the first day.

Back to school backpacks come in different shapes and sizes. Make sure you always choose backpacks that are made of lighter material rather than the ones that use heavy materials. One example of light backpacks would be the Nike lightweight backpack. Literally.

Sometimes kids find it stylish to carry their back to school backpacks on one shoulder rather than two and that’s why will these backpacks are so popular. However, these backpacks tend to put a lot of strain on a student’s back making them tired. Choosing the right back pack is not the only thing that the kids at school have to do. They should also limit their loads and carry appropriate books and material in order to reduce the strain on their body. With heavier loads kids tend to lean forward which damages their posture.

Severe muscle strains can also happen with heavier backpacks and even cause the rounding of shoulders. Children must also make sure to carry the backpacks at a lower height to avoid straining their backs. However, wearing it too low could also be damaging. Usually the backpack is worn in such a way that the bottom of the backpack is 2 inches above the waist.

So to avoid straining and spraining backs, always purchase the right back to school backpacks which are lighter, have two straps and ideally, wheels. Back packs with light weight material, wide padded straps, with back cushion, and waste belt could also reduce injury. So choose well, live well and study well.
