When I was in school, picking out a new backpack was super exciting! My Mom even took me to the Jansport outlet store so I could have the coolest backpack in school. But when it came to my backpack strategy…I threw my pack over one shoulder, jammed it full of books and never even knew that there was a right and wrong way to wear it!
Most of the time parents and their children are in a mad hurry to get packed up and ready to go in the morning. But, it’s important for parents and even high school and college students to be aware of how to properly pack and wear a backpack. Just be sure to choose a pack that is the right size for you or your child!
Symptoms of Wearing Too Heavy of a Backpack
- Pain in the back, shoulders, neck and hands
- Strained and weakened muscles
- Tingling and pain in the arms
- Poor posture & curved spine
Pack it Light, Wear it Right.Â
Here’s a helpful visual that will keep your children’s nervous systems on the right track, help them to have better posture and avoid aches and pains.

Hi! I was wondering if I could have your permission to use this backpack awareness flyer for an event my classmates and I are running at a local elementary school. We were planning on sending home flyers to the parents to reinforce some of the basic concepts of backpack awareness.
Thank you,
