Hey INGO'ers,
I'm curious if any of you outfit your kids' backpack with armor plates. Been on my mind long before the shooting here in Noblesville, but that certainly rekindled my interest. I have an elementary school kid which will be moving to middle school next year. I'm interested in any feedback regarding weight of product on the child as well as the average kiddo backpack, ie will the average WallyWorld backpack sustain it or just rip to shreds. Plus interested in any feedback on the emotional aspects of a kiddo having that with them. My child is certainly aware of the shooting last school year as well as others. Since he could remember he knew I always had a gun on my hip and doesn't even avoid it when giving me a hug. My kiddo has shot guns before and understands them, but I wonder if carrying a plate in his backpack and training him to use it would scare him. Kiddo is getting close to 11. And of course any product recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jaypea
