Choosing a backpack - Naveed Yaseen - 09-01-2009 07:33 AM
Along with pens, paper and notebooks, for many youngsters, a backpack is a back-to-school necessity.
The US National Safety Council offers these safety guidelines for selecting a backpack:
* Look for features that offer better support, comfort and safety.
* Choose a backpack with padding in the back to minimise pressure.
* Opt for a backpack that has belts around the hip and chest to more evenly distribute the contents.
* A backpack with lots of compartments is better, as it also helps evenly distribute the weight of school supplies.
* Look for compression straps at the bottom or side of the backpack to bring the contents closer to the back.
* Look for reflective material so your child is easier to see if walking in the dark.
