With a new school year just around the corner, it may be time to buy a new backpack for your child. Here are some do’s and don’ts to keep in mind:
- Do find out if your child’s school has a policy on the types of bags allowed.
- Don’t just buy the first backpack you see; check prices at department stores, sporting goods stores, and online for the best value.
- Do decide ahead of time what features you want in a backpack, such as extra padding or a waist or sternum strap.
- Do use the Internet to check testing results from consumer protection organizations for durability, comfort, and safety.
- Don’t cave in and get the trendy backpack that your child wants if it doesn’t have the desired safety features.
- Do buy the best backpack that you can afford.
- Don’t buy a backpack just because of a low price or a popular brand name.
- Don’t just go for cute; make sure the backpack is made of durable material.
- Do check to see if the backpack has an extended or lifetime warranty.
- Don’t buy an unsafe, substandard backpack for your child just because it features a favorite character; compromise with supplementary accessories such an umbrella with the character on it.
- Do teach your child how to wear a backpack properly, using both shoulder straps and the waist belt rather than simply slung over one side.
