Backpack safety for kids



A simple and nice video on how kids should put their backpack by moveforwardpt.com. This is an extremely important issue for the healthy development of the whole musculoskeletal system of a kid and especially its spine.

Major points:

  1. Do not use one strap backpacks
  2. Put both straps around the shoulders and adjust them so that the kid feels comfortable with it
  3. Do not allow the backpack to fall below the low back of the kid
  4. Put in the backpack only the necessary items and do not make it heavy

Good luck to all the kids with their new school year!!
