From the children's perspective, having a beautiful and comfortable spine-protecting backpack can increase their interest in learning. But in addition to the appearance of the backpack, you also need to consider its durability, weight, space capacity, and spine protection. There are various types of school bags on the market. Choosing a suitable one is probably every parent’s nightmare. To avoid parents being at a loss, we have summarized the following points for you: 
Ergonomic spine protection backpack design:
The survey found that nearly 90% of the students interviewed had school bags that were heavier than the standard recommended by the Department of Health. When a child's backpack is too heavy, the head will naturally lean forward to maintain body balance. Over time, there is a chance that lumbar problems such as hunchback will occur, affecting the growth and development of children.
The ergonomic design effectively disperses the pressure on the user's shoulders and back. The most important thing when buying a school bag is the shoulder strap. The cushion design, elasticity and breathability of the shoulder strap will affect the user's comfort when using it.
We recommend that the backpack shoulder straps should be streamlined and adjustable to the appropriate length according to height.
Secondly, the backpack must be equipped with a chest strap and a waist belt , which can evenly distribute the weight of the shoulders and back, and prevent the backpack from shifting or the shoulder straps from falling to the sides when children go up and down stairs, run, chase the bus, etc.
In addition, backpacks that can protect the spine usually have soft pads or spine guards to ensure that the backpack can fit tightly against the back and the weight of the backpack can be evenly supported by the waist.
Capacity, separation, practical design
The internal space of the school bag needs to have a certain amount of partition design, so that children can classify and store various books, stationery, and daily necessities, and fix the books. This will cultivate children's storage and organization skills from an early age and develop good living habits. The spacing design helps to hold heavier books closer to the back to reduce the sense of weight caused by the leverage principle.
Schoolbag safety design
To prevent any traffic accidents or getting lost at night, school bags should be equipped with reflective materials to ensure the safety of children.
Ergonomic school bag quality
When choosing a school bag, you need to pay attention to the workmanship of the bag. The degree of workmanship reflects the life of the bag. Parents should choose backpacks with neat seams, reinforced seams on the shoulders, and the materials of the backpacks should be free of harmful substances such as plasticizers and formaldehyde.
In addition to the above precautions, of course you should take your children to try it out for themselves. After all, the user’s first-hand experience is the most important! In addition, to prevent children’s spinal health from being damaged, parents should remind their children to pack their school bags every day and avoid carrying useless items back to school to reduce the weight of their school bags.
