With the school year soon approaching, many parents are looking for a perfect backpack for their little ones. Rolling backpacks are one of the most popular options on the market, but they come with several pros and cons worth keeping in mind.

Pro: Healthy Back

Your children are forced to carry heavy loads on their backs every day. By buying them a rolling backpack, you’ll help your kid lighten the burden and improve their posture.

Con: High Price Tag

Your budget will be pretty tight at the start of the school year and you might find a rolling backpack too pricy because they’re usually more expensive than traditional ones.

Pro: Ease & Convenience

Wheeled backpacks are much more convenient than regular ones because they’re easy to carry and offer enough storage room to fit all of your kid’s school supplies.

Con: Bad Terrain

Having a rolling backpack is all fun and games if your child is traversing an even terrain, but they’ll struggle with it if their path to school involves a lot of stairs and gravel paths.

Pro: Versatility

Wheeled backpacks are pretty versatile since they can be worn as regular backpacks, as well.  

Con: Extra Weight

The main problem with carrying a rolling backpack on your back is its heaviness. Wheels and handles will put extra weight on your child’s back so it’s best to avoid carrying them this way.

People often joke that school kids carry backpacks bigger than them, and this isn’t too far from the truth. The weight of school bags can negatively impact your child’s posture, even hindering spine development, but there are things you can do to prevent their negative impact.

Backpack Choice

The backpack you choose should never be too large for your kid’s back and you should consider buying an ergonomically designed model. In addition to being sturdy and appropriately sized, make sure it has broad, padded shoulder straps, and teach your kid to use both shoulder straps.

Avoid Overpacking

Your kid’s backpack shouldn’t be heavier than 10% of their weight when packed. To lighten the load, you should help your kid clear the unnecessary items from their backpack and keep some of their things inside a locker so their backpack would be lighter in between classes.

Strategic Packing

Be a little bit more strategic about the way you pack your kid’s backpack. Heavy items are best placed at the base of the pack, close to the spine. Some of them can be carried in hand or avoided altogether. For example, your kid can fill a water bottle at school instead of having an extra 750 ml weighing them down.
