Not all backpacks are created equal! That trendy single-strap bag might look cool, but it's a recipe for spine trouble. Here's what to look for: wide padded straps, multiple compartments for weight distribution, and a size that fits your child's frame. Remember the 10% rule: backpack weight should never exceed 10% of your child's body weight. A 50-pound child should carry no more than 5 pounds! Your child's spine will thank you for choosing function over fashion. Need help assessing your child's backpack setup? We're here to help!
