Our recent survey shows that 81% of the parents complained their children carry a bag weighing more than 5kg to school every day! Imagine how damaging it is towards children's spines!

Fret not, follow the 6 useful tips here to save your children from BIG BAD BAG!

TIPS #1

Never let a child carry more than 15 percent of his or her body weight. That means, if your child weighs 30kg, the bag must not be heavier than 4.5kg.

TIPS #2

Arrange the heaviest items closest to the child's back. Books and stationeries can be arranged after the heaviest items to prevent them from sliding. 

TIPS #3

Always recommend your child to wear both shoulder straps. Wearing only one strap can cause a child to lean to one side, curving the spine and causing uneven shoulders in long run.

TIPS #4

Select a bag that equips with well-padded shoulder straps. This can help to relieve the pressure on shoulders and neck, which in turn avoid pain and tingling. 

TIPS #5

Adjust the shoulder straps so the pack fits comfortably and closely to your child's back. Try to keep the bag at the position of not more than 4 inches below the child's waistline.
