With the onset of school pores, you have to collect a child for classes. Naturally, you need to buy a child a backpack so that he would wear school supplies in it. The backpack should be such that it contains all the necessary school supplies, and was convenient. When choosing a backpack, the question arises which backpack from the models presented in the store to give preference. Modern schoolchildren wear a lot of textbooks, notebooks, sportswear and many other weights. Paying attention to first -graders, you notice that sometimes their backpacks are superior in size to the children themselves. Such severity can lead to posture disorders, for example, to scoliosis. For this reason, it is necessary to seriously take the choice of a backpack
It is worth noting that orthopedic doctors do not recommend using backpacks to children at all, but to fold their accessories in special cabinets placed in the classroom. However, in our schools it sounds like something unrealistic. The most suitable bag for elementary grades will be a satchel, and bags on the shoulder should be left to children over 15 years old.
A satchel must be chosen with your child in order to be able to try on it on it. The norm of filling the satchel for the student should be no more than 10% of the student’s weight. In this case, the satchel should be placed within the thoracic spine, ending to the lumbar region. The top of the satchel should not be higher than the child’s shoulders.
Choose light but durable backpacks. The lightness of the backpack is determined by its material, however, like the strength. Pay your attention to zippers and fasteners that should easily close and open. It is preferable to give a choice of topics that are made of waterproof fabric. For safety reasons, children’s satchels must be equipped with reflective stripes.
The width of the straps should be within 8 cm, as this is the optimal width. Such straps will not put pressure on the child’s shoulders. In addition, a good option for a satchel with a solid orthopedic back that will help maintain the posture of the child.
