What is an ergonomic backpack back?

Even the manufacturers of these accessories cannot define the exact concept of an ergonomic backpack back. Many sellers compare this concept with an orthopedic system. But all this is done only to attract attention to their products and increase sales.

What does “ergonomic backrest” mean?

Typically, ergonomic backrests are found in children's school bags and briefcases. The fact is that schoolchildren still have a mobile spinal system, which can easily be deformed by incorrectly selected accessories. That is why you should choose a backpack with an anatomically correct back so that your development goes according to plan.

The ergonomic backrest has the following properties:

• evenly distributes the load on the child’s spine;
• supports the baby's back in the correct position;
• provides comfort when moving;
• does not harm the formation of the spine;
• physiologically adapts to the structure of the body as much as possible.

Important! You should choose a backpack exactly according to the child’s age. It is not recommended to buy products “for growth”, in a larger size. Such a bag can cause enormous harm to a student’s health.

How important is it in a backpack?

If we talk about adult users of this type of bags, then ergonomic backrest ensures comfortable movement and minimizes the load on the person’s back. This affects a person’s well-being, he has less back pain, neck strain and headaches. This criterion when choosing a bag is important, but not critical, since the musculoskeletal system of an adult is already fully formed.

For children, such a physically optimal backrest in a backpack is one of the main aspects. Parents should pay special attention when choosing a school backpack. A child should feel comfortable going to school with a large number of textbooks and school supplies.

Options for choosing a backpack with an ergonomic back

To ensure that wearing a school bag does not harm the child’s health, you need to choose a product according to specific parameters:

• weight (for comfortable wearing, a weight of no more than 1.2 kg is assumed);
• size (before purchasing, be sure to try it on; the product should not exceed the width of children’s shoulders);
• fabric (a prerequisite must be the strength of the fabric and water resistance; synthetic materials are most often used);
• straps (they should be wide, soft and adjustable, in addition, they should not slide off the baby’s shoulders);
• rigid shape (to clearly distribute the weight of a filled backpack, the product should be selected with a rigid internal frame and a dense rubberized bottom);
• back (ergonomics means a tight fit to the back, soft inserts that provide comfort, anatomical shape and even distribution of loads).

By paying attention to these selection criteria, you can find a high-quality and correct backpack for a schoolchild. It will be easy to use and will not cause harm to health.
