Backpacks are becoming dangerously heavy for kids, straining their bodies and risking injury. Experts warn against leaning forward or digging straps — it’s time to lighten the load. Forget rigid weight limits; focus on what’s truly needed each day. Teachers say parents often overload bags with unnecessary gear, turning them into personal purses. Choose backpacks with padded straps and back support, teach kids to bend at the knees, and never let them wear one in a moving car. A weekly clean-out can make a big difference — keep it light, keep it safe.
