Keep the weight of the full backpack less than 10 to 20 percent of your child's body weight. So, a 60 pound child should only be carrying a total of six to 12 pounds on their back; a child weighing 120 pounds should only carry about 12 to 24 pounds. A heavy backpack can eventually lead to neck and back pain, even in children.
