Backpack Safety
There are so many options out there for carrying books these days that a traditional backpack doesn't have to be the only one. If your child is getting loaded down with books and school work that he needs to carry in his backpack, he may want to opt for a backpack with wheels and a handle that he can pull around. But be careful with this option, as sometimes the strain of pulling the heavy bag up stairs or onto the bus could hurt your kid's back. Some older kids like messenger bags which oddly distribute the weight on one shoulder and the opposite hip. If that is the case, tell them to try to shift sides occasionally so it doesn't weigh them down unevenly.
