Children and teenagers are almost left with no options other than to carry their bags to school every day. They routinely carry their school bags filled with books, laptops, sports kits, and packed lunches, which will weigh about two large stones. It has been observed by pediatricians that such a thing would increase the risk of strained backs and necks in growing children.
There is an increase in the number of children developing irreversible back deformities because of the weight of the bags they carry to school. Almost half of all children experienced back pain caused by heavy school bags and doctors are reporting a rise in cases of spinal abnormalities in pupils, such as scoliosis.
The goal of our design is to create a practical and convenient solution to solve the mobility issue of children carrying their bags every day in a fun way.
