It's back to school time and kids have new backpacks that they are filling up for the first and not the last time. Brea Cinnamon with OSF Saint Luke Medical Center wants parents to take a closer look at your child's backpacks to make sure they are packed safely.

Brea joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about backpack safety and back to school health.
