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:

  1. Do find out if your child’s school has a policy on the types of bags allowed.
  2. Don’t just buy the first backpack you see; check prices at department stores, sporting goods stores, and online for the best value.
  3. Do decide ahead of time what features you want in a backpack, such as extra padding or a waist or sternum strap.
  4. Do use the Internet to check testing results from consumer protection organizations for durability, comfort, and safety.
  5. Don’t cave in and get the trendy backpack that your child wants if it doesn’t have the desired safety features.
  6. Do buy the best backpack that you can afford.
  7. Don’t buy a backpack just because of a low price or a popular brand name.
  8. Don’t just go for cute; make sure the backpack is made of durable material.
  9. Do check to see if the backpack has an extended or lifetime warranty.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
