Backpack Safety for Children
Backpacks should distribute weight evenly across the back with heavier items at the bottom. Use both straps to avoid strain, and choose a size that fits the child. Teach lifting with bent knees to protect the back. Look for padded backs and compression straps for comfort and stability.
Bus safety tips for school riders and parents
Guidelines help children acclimate to bus routines and safety. Parents should arrive 5 to 10 minutes early, avoid chasing the bus, stay on the sidewalk, board directly to a seat, buckle up if available, remain seated and quiet, keep hands inside, avoid rough play, keep aisles clear, exit only at designated stops, cross in view of the driver after the bus stops, watch for oncoming traffic, and contact the bus company to recover forgotten items rather than run back.
