According to the Consumer Products Safety Commission, approximately 3,400 children were treated in emergency rooms in 1999 for injuries related to backpacks. Many orthopaedic surgeons will tell parents to limit backpack weight to 20% of their body weight to prevent injuries. Many parents are considering the new wheeled backpacks. Here are the top five rolling backpacks for parents to consider.
