Fees to school is always an exciting event, but the parents have one of the main issues—how to choose a school satchel. It is important to do it correctly, as in it the student will have to carry a large number of notebooks and textbooks and everything on their shoulders, so the wrong choice of container may lead to problems with posture or spine of the child. Doctors advise the first-graders to wear clothes. Better to shift them in school lockers, but for Russia it is not very suitable, so you need to choose a suitable for first-grader's backpack, but backpacks or bags to wear in Junior high or high school.
When choosing a backpack be sure to have the participation of the child, which will be trying them on. When fitting you need to pay attention to the size and weight of the container. Its maximum weight should not exceed 10% of the weight of the child and it needs to stay between the borders of the thoracic and lumbar spine. Its top should not be above the shoulders, and the bottom not below the waist.
When choosing, remember that a good school backpack should be roomy, comfortable and functional, but not bulky. The child can help with choosing the right appearance of the backpack.
The container should be placed on the back correctly, so no need to buy it for growth. During the fitting you need to adjust the straps so that the child was safe. The correct position on the back: the Upper border of the container should be below shoulder level, the bottom should reach to the waist. This provision will help to avoid lower back pain. As to the weight of the backpack did not create a large load on his back, the weight loaded should not exceed 10 percent of the weight of the child. More weight will make you slouch and will put more stress on your back.
When wearing the straps of a backpack should fit snugly to the body so that it is not dangling on the back. Better if he has an additional strap or clasp to connect the straps that will redistribute weight all over the body and wide straps so that the backpack does not cut into the shoulders, and with a soft podkladnymi. Well, if the backpack is wide and comfortable handle. Before buying, check the quality of the seams, fabric, zipper. And even better, if the backpack is made of nylon, vinyl or other lightweight material, because the weight added to the weight of the contents, and may create additional strain on the back.
And yet, we must remember that briefcase, bag, with straps on one shoulder or the diplomat can cause problems with the spine, because when wearing outweigh a pupil in one direction, and the correct safe container for the spine, because the load is distributed evenly.
