School is around the corner, in fact here in Florida the “meet your teachers” have been scheduled and even taken place in some areas. One of the most purchased school supplies is the “backpack”. Ok not really I’m sure more pencils and papers are purchased but it is a big purchase. Your child may want a Frozen back pack, or one with wheels (if they are allowed), or a specific brand. We of course search for what they want.
Though times have changed and in our school district kids are bringing home less school books (opting for online books instead) some how the backpacks still remain heavy. My husband use to marvel at how my daughter, in 2nd grade, had such a heavy backpack. If he looked inside he would see it was because she wanted to bring 15 library books to school to share with her friends. My son’s walk home from school, which seems to make backpacks heavier with every step. My oldest son was telling my daughter how his backpack really hurt his shoulders. However I have found the solution with the Airbac backpack.
Airbac Backpack
Airbac Features:
- Feels Like You’re Carrying Half The Weight – Our AIRBAC™ patented air support system allows the weight in the backpack to rest comfortably just above the waistline, to literally take the weight off your back and shoulders. You’ll feel the difference immediately!
- Promotes Better Posture and Spinal Alignment – AIRBAC™ technology enables your body to relax in an upright position (as opposed to a hunched over position to compensate for the extra weight). That’s why AIRBAC™ is endorsed by back specialists nationwide. Click here to view our Scientific Study.
- Built-In Shock Absorbers – The weight of every step you take— running or walking—is absorbed by AIRBAC™ instead of your back, thanks to our patented air support system.
- Easily adjusts to fit any body type – Whether you’re young or old, tall or short, slim or have more to love – the AIRBAC™ padded shoulder straps andpatented air support system adjust to a customized fit.
- Outstanding Air-Cushioned Protection – The same patented AIRBAC™ technology that protects your back, protects the contents of your AIRBAC™ too.
I decided in order to review this properly I had to give the backpack a try myself. We wanted to compare the difference so we put all of Honey’s school supplies in her “normal” backpack and both tried it on. We then transferred everything to the Airbac backpack and both tried it on. I was totally AMAZED by the difference. Immediately I could tell that the weight was no longer sitting on my shoulders and I wasn’t forced to lean forward to hold up the back pack. Honey is very sensitive and touchy when it comes to different material and decided she did not care for the bumps and ridges in the backpack. However I actually thought they made the backpack feel much more comfortable.
I thought maybe this would be the answer for my son but he tried it on and also was not a fan of the ridges. At the end of the day mom got a new backpack for trips. I really do think this backpack is amazing and does what it says it does. We haven’t used it enough to see if it will stand the test of time but for now this mom supports it 100%!
I received the above products or was compensated for this post.

Pretty impressive that it has built in shock absorbers. This is a great option for kids going back to school.

What a nice backpack for school. It is about time someone made a backpack that helps protect the back from hurting. The books can get so heavy and this is not good for the Spine.
Heather Dawn says
I wish this was around in high school. I had to load my backpack with my books because I didnt always have time to go to mt locker.

My daughter’s new school will be working on tablets and laptops. so im hoping the backpacks wont be ful of books for this very reason.
Mary I love the backpack says
Hi We have the backpack for two years . Everyone in our family has it also . It is the best backpack in the world . They have so many styles and age groups . It is a must . Even with schools having laptop etc. they still need to bring other things also .

My oldest daughter carries so many books and I’m very concerned that she’ll have back problems later in life. I mean, her bag is so heavy to where I can barely pick it up, so I know it must be hard on her. I’m definitely going to look into Airbac Backpacks because anything that’ll help her get a little relied from all those books. would be great.
Anne says
This is genius. I’ve been amazed at how heavy most kids’ backbacks are, and this looks like a good solution. Interesting that both of your kids didn’t like it, though, and I wonder if the one you got was sized for an adult. I took a quick look at their website but couldn’t tell if the school packs come in smaller sizes. In any case, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!

We already purchased this years backpacks, but I will keep this in mind. My oldest sons backpack is ridiculously heavy, weighing 50lbs or more. Our school offers online books too, but with him in the advanced and college classes a lot of those are not offered online. They also have a laptop to carry which just adds to the weight. I will not let him walk home from school because his pack is so heavy!

This is a great backpack. Kids have to carry so many things,, especially the first part of the year sometimes it seems the backpack is way too heavy. I like how this one takes the weight off of the shoulders.
Sarah L says
That sounds like a great backpack. Backs need all the help they can get.
Christina G. says
I’ve never heard of this company. I’d like to buy one for myself. Thanks for sharing!
Raijean says
This would be perfect for my son, I need to get him some.
Jo-Ann Brightman says
I think it is an amazing idea and would be wonderful to avoid stress on the back, but if the kids won’t use it it doesn’t make sense to buy it. Perhaps they would get used to it over time.
Cynthia R says
I think a product like this is much needed, but I also think schools need to rethink all these heavy books, its impossible to carry them home everyday, I always feel so sorry for little kids with this gigantic backpacks.
Crystal says
My kids aren’t fans of the rolling backpacks. They prefer the styling of a more traditional backpack. I love that this protects their little backs from carrying too much weight.
Marcie W. says
I really like that they offer stylish options that are also supportive. I could have definitely used a backpack like this during my high school and college days.
