Rum River Automotive Repair shop cares about its customers! Not only do they provide quality automotive services for the safety of their customer’s vehicles, but they also want them to experience safety in all aspects of their lives, especially their children. This is why Rum River Automotive repair shop wants to share the safety tips about backpacks received from a chiropractor!
Over 79 million students carry a backpack to school each day. However, most students are unaware of the potential hazards such as neck and back problems that come with the improper use of backpacks. Kids often want to carry those fancy backpacks with their favorite cartoon character, color, or style. They want to look “cool.” Parents should discuss with their kids about the type of backpack they want and compare it with the simple guidelines below. Rum River Automotive Service center wants kids to understand the importance of choosing a backpack that they not only will love but one that will avoid serious long-term back problems in the future.
When choosing a backpack for your child, here are a few safety tips to consider:
- Wear both shoulder straps evenly to distribute the weight of the backpack.
- Buy the right size.
- Lighten the load--no one should carry more than 25 pounds in a backpack.
- The backpack should not extend below the lower back.
- Put the heaviest items in the backpack first keeping them close to the body.
- Lift the backpack with your legs and put it on one shoulder strap at a time.
- Don’t leave backpacks on the floor where they can become a tripping hazard.
- Choose a quality backpack that has wide well-cushioned shoulder straps with a lumbar support/padding.
Just as the staff at the Rum River Automotive service center care about the quality of automotive service they provide for their customers, they also care about the health and welfare of the youth of their community.
