The Light Weight

Profile of a Child Book Bag User – The Light Weight

By , About.com Guide

The Light Weight does not carry much at all. Either because of laziness, forgetfulness or a good study hall, the books are usually left at school. The book bag usually weighs more than the contents.

In the Bag

  • A note book
  • Pencil
  • Lunch money
  • Maybe a stick of gum

Best Book Bag for Your Child

  • A small backpack
    • Ameribag Health Back Bag Small Compare Prices

  • A thin satchel

Other Ergonomic Considerations

  • Use the smallest bag possible. There is no sense carrying around extra weight for nothing. Satchels with either a shoulder strap or handle or a small backpack are good solutions. You can also consider a multifunction notebook and not carry a bag at all.
