While carrying a backpack to school every day may seem harmless enough, it can cause painful neck and back problems and injuries for students who don't pack or carry their backpacks properly. Reduce the stress by 80% and lighten the load by 30% with Ergo Works’ selection ergonomically designed backpacks. Medical professionals advise that individuals carry no more than 10-15% of their body weight on their backs. This means a child weighing:

• 50 lbs. should carry no more than 7.5 lbs.
• 80 lbs. should carry no more than 12 lbs.
• 100 lbs. should carry no more than 15 lbs.
• 130 lbs. should carry no more than 19.5 lbs.
