Fitting Guide For Children's Backpacks - Child's Backpack Sizing Guide


Category: Children's backpacks

In terms of ergonomics, backpacks for children are entirely different from the backpacks for adults. Each child has a different body structure, like some are tall while others are short.
Therefore standard size backpacks may not be the right choice for your child. There are a few things which you should know before you set out shopping for your child's backpack. While we discuss the finer details below, you can use these web links to enhance your knowledge on how to pick backpacks for your kids.

Measure it up

The first step towards determining the right type of backpack for your children is physically measuring a few parameters. The ideal height of the bag should be 2 inches over the actual measurement of your child's shoulder to the waist line. Remember it is the shoulder line which takes most part of the weight contained in the bag when loaded. Ideally, your child's back pack should rest two inches below the shoulder line and run two inches below the waist line. You can either adopt the max width at the back or average out the measurements from the shoulder line to the waist. Remember it is the hip muscles which will be supporting most of the weight.

Attributes

Unlike the backpacks for adults, you must pay close attention to several attributes while shopping for children's backpacks. Your child's back pack should invariably have two straps. Allowing the bag to hang on one shoulder with single strap bags will lead to excessive weight on a single shoulder. The size of the bag should be such that it fits perfectly on the child's back. The straps should be wide and well padded so that the load gets distributed evenly. A chest strap running across the chest and between the shoulder straps is ideal to avoid shifting of load and slippage.

Training

After you have brought home that special hand picked back pack for your child train him/her in using the new acquisition properly. Major cause of back pain in children has been traced to the improper use of back packs. It takes little time to train the child and few days of close observation will ensure that your child uses his/her new bag to its best potential.
