Testimonials from parents and kids

I like the BackTpack because it feels good to wear it. I love it! I love all the compartments, the color, the way it feels, the water bottle holder. With my low vision, the yellow is really bright against the purple and I get compliments on it all the time. I like the comfort, especially the padded straps. No matter how much weight you have, it still feels okay. Oh! And I can hold my cup of coffee and have an extra hand free too!

My daughter has been having back problems for several years from carrying her standard backpack to school. Her pain had escalated to the point that we were making weekly visits to the chiropractor and she was taking nightly pain medication so she could sleep. I found the BackTpack and decided to try it. It works wonders. Her posture has straightened since she no longer has to bend forward in order to balance the weight and her pain disappeared within the first week. She did have some muscle soreness from adjusting to the new pack, but that disappeared within a couple of days. She likes having her things at her side instead of on her back and the pack is easy to get on and off. She just grabs the briefcase handles to sling the BackTpack around. Although the price of the BackTpack is more than a standard backpack it is well worth it. I would highly recommend the BackTpack for anyone, back problems or not.

Thank you for the BackTpack! I liked it for the following reasons:
I didn’t have to worry about all my belongings not being able to fit because this backpack has lots of room in it.
When it’s icy and times when we have a lot of homework, I don’t have to worry about tipping over and falling on the ice which can lead to a concussion.
Also, I don’t get backaches because the backpack doesn’t rest on my back. And when you have a lot of homework and you get a backache, oh, it hurts!
 

We received the bags, it for my children (9 and 11 years old) and they love it as it really help eliminated the burden of carrying heavy school books. The same weight of books they were carrying in their normal backpack, they feel much lighter in this backtpack. I have been looking for a proper ergonomic backpack on the internet and came across your website, its really an interesting design and thoughtful. Letting the child carrying over weight school bag should be banned by Ministry of Education, the school as an educational institute must responsible and taking this issue seriously as it is harmful for physical and mental health of the child. However we were living in 3 countries (Thailand, South Africa, and Jordan), non of the school we ever heard they are concerning of this issue. Also the custom tax for these bags are too high as we paid JOD 140 (USD197) for this shipment, it is really a ridiculous policy (brainless).
 
Btw – thank you for making such a wonderful product. It should win a prize and adopted in all good schools.

I’m a believer in BackTpack as being a proactive way to teach proper posture and prevent neck and back problems. And as I see it, it’s just like wearing a seat belt in the car or a helmet for bike riding, kids that have grown up with these habits are more likely to continue them through adulthood. This is why I have chosen to purchase the BackTpack for my preschooler. I want to start him off on the right path today!

My son was having difficulty managing his backpack, and started complaining of back and shoulder pain after school. We tried the BackTpack and he felt pain-free instantly. He reports that the BackTpack “doesn’t hurt” and its design allows him to automatically turn on his posture muscles and stand straighter when he is waiting for the bus and transitioning between classes. He can carry his school binder, a cellphone, lunch and a few books without any difficulty. It’s lasted over a year in middle school with no signs of excessive wear and tear. It’s been a great investment in both wellness and durability.
