BackCare

BackCare, in partnership with Smart-E-Pants, have designed a new range of back packs that use a patented back panel to help you protect your back. The Active Back Pack has been designed as a school bag, but many adults also find it a comfortable day pack.

“Lower back pain occurrence was not associated with the types or dimensions of the school furniture or body dimensions, but was positively associated with carrying the school bag on one shoulder.”

Children of all school ages often struggle with unsuitable loads every day of the week and with the absence of lockers in many schools the problems persist between lessons too. Our research on children’s health has highlighted that as much as 30% of bodyweight can frequently be carried on one shoulder.

BackCare, in partnership with Smart-E-Pants, have designed a new range of back packs to help you protect your back and make a difference to your posture and performance.
