Occupational therapist, Helle Hammer Mortensen:

As an occupational therapist I am always happy to see children with their schoolbag on their backs.
I would like to recommend JEVA schoolbags, because the models are carefully thought out and tested during many years. The schoolbags are easy for the children to use, they are equipped with many good features and there are sizes that fit all children.

My eyes are often caught by children with schoolbags of the wrong sizes, like a tiny girl who is almost falling over because her schoolbag is too big and heavy on the backside. Or the bigger boy who has loosened the shoulder straps so much that the bag is hanging way too loose on his back and behind.
The smaller children biking with their jacket open and the bag on their shoulders, but the straps have not been tightened and everything is flapping around them.

Unfortunately, I also see examples of bags that are so high up on the neck that the child cannot look to the sides or back.

It is important to make sure the schoolbag is not too heavy. Remember that the bag has a weight in itself – as do the lunch box, pencil case, books, tablet, sports clothes and even an empty water bottle. Therefore, JEVA’s schoolbags are an excellent choice because they are lightweight: 580-982 grams. Good ergonomics and the correct distribution of the weight are also connected with the low weight.

Teach your child to clean up the bag every day, so he or she only carries the most necessary things to school.
It is likewise important to tighten the shoulder straps when the bag is on the back, so it fits to the clothing of the child both summer and winter, and always to fasten the chest strap to keep the shoulder straps from slipping over the shoulders and also the waist band, if there is one.
