1. Backpack is preferred
Children should try to carry a backpack on both shoulders. Carrying it on both shoulders can distribute the weight of the backpack, thereby reducing the possibility of body shape being distorted.
2. Trolley school bag
Trottle school bag is a good choice for younger students because they do not need to change classrooms or go up and down stairs frequently. The drawbar of a trolley schoolbag is long enough so that children do not have to bend or twist to use it; the lower wheels of the schoolbag should be large enough to ensure that it does not vibrate and bump when being pulled.
3. Buy according to size
Generally speaking, the schoolbag should not be wider than the child's body; when carried on the body, the bottom of the schoolbag should not be 10 cm lower than the child's waist. When carrying a schoolbag, the top of the schoolbag should not be higher than the child's head, and the belt position should be between 2-3 inches below the waist. The bottom of the schoolbag should be at the same height as the lower back. The schoolbag should be in the middle of the back, not hanging on the buttocks.
4. Reasonable design
The internal space of the schoolbag is reasonably designed, and children's various books, stationery, and daily necessities can be placed in categories, which can cultivate children's storage and organization abilities from an early age.
5. The material should be light
Since students already have to carry a large amount of books and items back to school, in order to avoid increasing the load on students, schoolbags should try to choose lightweight materials.
6. Shoulder straps should be wide
Shoulder straps should be wide to help reduce the pressure caused by the schoolbag on the shoulders and to evenly distribute the weight of the schoolbag; and be equipped with soft pads The shoulder straps can reduce the strain caused by the schoolbag on the trapezius muscles. If the shoulder straps are too small, the trapezius muscles will be more susceptible to fatigue.
7. Have a belt
Using a belt can bring the schoolbag closer to the back and unload the weight of the schoolbag evenly on the waist and pelvic bones. Moreover, the belt can fix the schoolbag to the waist, prevent the schoolbag from swinging, and reduce the pressure on the spine and shoulders.
