Schools that don't allow backpacks? Huh?

A heavy large backpack would be very incomfortable, but probably not anymore uncomfortable than shifting heavy books from arm to arm.

I havent had to buy many packs- I always get The North Face and they last for about 15-20 years.I just bought another recon model as my daughter had taken mine through India and is now attached to it.
They have both a hip and chest belt which makes it much more comfortable and secure. It also sits fairly high on your back and has adjustable straps and has a padded pocket that I can use for either my laptop or a water bladder.

Both my kids used packs or messenger bags in school, the science labs have shelves for belongings and other classrooms have desks with storage underneath the seat.
It didn’t seem to be a problem, and I expect didn’t cause as much disruption as having to go to their locker for their homework or pencil.
