Principles of ergonomics for children

BACKPACKS AND CHAIRS THAT GROW WITH YOUR CHILD

The greatest need for ergonomic furniture and backpacks is for school-age children, as doctors confirm that 90% of children at the age of seven-eight years have a certain postural deformation during the examination, even for those children who did not have such problems at the age of six. The main reasons for this are an improperly carried, too heavy backpack and incorrect sitting position at the table.

The bag should not only be comfortable, but should also fit snugly against the back from the collarbone to the pelvic bone. As the child grows, the spine also grows, so in an ideal situation the bag should "grow" with the child thanks to height-adjustable product straps.

The same goes for furniture. As the child is constantly growing, the correct sitting position can be provided with a chair and a table that adjusts in height along with changes in the child's height.
