How To Choose a Safe Backpack for Your Child

>> Sep 23, 2014

Why you should be careful in choosing a backpack for kid? A result of research conducted by Dr. Mary Ellen Franklin, a physical therapist and exercise physiologist at the Medical College of Georgia, stated that improper backpacks or too heavy load may affect the back and neck of children.

What could possibly happen? The body attempts to remain in a central state or in the middle between two legs. When carrying a backpack, the body will spontaneously bend forward; putting pressure on the spine that is not normal. This posture will cause the child's head forward or down. The body will perform motion compensation to hold his head so that the neck bone will be stretched; this will raise the high enough pressure on the neck bones.

Pay attention if your child complains of pain in his body, or you see any bruises or posture changes. This is a sign that his backpack is too heavy or not in accordance with the child's body size.

What can you do to avoid the possibility of injury from the backpack use? Here are some tips you need to know:

1. Backpack should fit the size of a child's body. When the backpack is too big, it will hit the lower back and shoulders.
2. Consider the bag content; don’t let your child carry a too heavy load. Reduce it to weigh no more than 15% of the child's weight.
3. There are two kinds of backpacks, having internal and external frame. Internal framework is designed in such a way that almost all the burden of the child focused on the pelvis. While the backpack which has an external frame, the load will be located on the body, especially in the shoulder. External framed backpack is not really designed for a school bag. Choose a backpack with an internal frame.
4. Quality backpacks equipped with pads on the shoulders and back, and a seat belt at the waist and chest. Pads on this bag model serve to protect the child's shoulders and back.
5. Use backpack correctly. When carrying a backpack, all belts at the waist and chest mounted. At the time of usage, try a backpack attached to the child's back. If the backpack is too loose, the bag will be bounced up and down, thus increasing the risk of injury and pain.

Child's body must remain upright while carrying a backpack to school. If when carrying a backpack, you see the child's body leaning forward or to one side, then the backpack still doesn’t fit or there is a misuse.

If the backpack is still annoying the activity of children, for example, he still complains of pain, you should choose another type of school bag. School bag with wheels may be an option. But the contents of the bag is still worth noting, don’t get too heavy because it will be difficult for your child when it should be lifted.

In fact, the need to be careful in choosing a backpack is not only applicable to younger children, but also for anyone. Hopefully the tips in this article can help backpack fans to avoid the risk of injury.

GlassesShop.com Review : Cotton Tortoise Reading Glasses

>> Sep 22, 2014

GlassesShop.com contacted me about a month ago. This reputable online prescription eyeglasses store offered a collaboration plan; they send me the free glasses that I’d like to try and as the feedback, I would share my honest opinion about the product in my blogs. I accepted this great offer, of course. Both of my old reading glasses are already broken. The whole collection are more than 500 styles available on the site, I was so thrilled to discover my most wanted glasses.

A pair of elegant and feminine reading glasses has been on my quest for a while. It’s still difficult for me to find stylish reading glasses on the local stores here. Moreover I must choose one with the right strength and the right PD (Pupil Distance) unless I will get awkward feeling, headache or nausea.

If you’re looking for prescription stylish glasses, GlassesShop.com is worth to look. They provide male and female consumers with prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses at inexpensive prices. To ease your search for the fittest frames, you may benefit from these tools:

the offered sorting options on the site.
the ‘Try On’ feature that allows you to compare the look of different pair of glasses on your own face contour.
the dimensions for lens width/height and frame width/height/ length that attached on every frame.

There are lots of stylish frames in their reading glasses collection; finally I found one that suits my preference and needs. For your information, Good Housekeeping Research Institute rated GlassesShop as the best and most stylish eyewear website in the Budget Buy category -another reason why you shouldn’t overlook this glasses online store.

Wonderful glasses are also accessories. Being lovely as your bracelet and necklace, it can beautify your look. For Blue Monday, I captured the glasses with my blue-touched necklace and bracelet.

The package reached my home in almost three weeks (Sept 18, 2014). I was surprised to see that the actual frames looked a lot like the images that seen on the site. My new glasses named Cotton-Tortoise; it arrived together with the useful protective case made from hard plastic and a microfiber cleaning cloth to wipe the lenses. Perhaps the case is rather hard to open at first; to open the case easier, move forward the upper cover to your left first before you lift it up.

I love my new reading glasses. Here are my opinions about Cotton-Tortoise glasses:

-The lenses are very clean and clear, single vision purpose, and also anti-scratch coating.

Before, I only used glasses for reading near. Wearing my old glasses while walking made me almost fell –especially on the stairs. But with my new glasses, I’m able to remain wearing the GlassesShop glasses while doing other activities like walking up and down the stairs. Up to now, there’s no sight problem that often happened before.

-I adore its tortoise motif frame. Colorful frames aren’t yet my choices and I’m already bored with my always black-framed glasses. Tortoise frame answers my dilemma!

-The lovely, glossy details on the hinges of the frame attract my attention. It gives feminine touch to the whole frame design.

-The rectangle shape fits my round face –at least for me :)

-The nose pads never leave irritating marks on my nose bridge. They are simple, stylish and fit on mine.

-Comfy to wear for daily usage.
