Score: 8.4/10 | GMT for Kids emerged from Norway with a specific mission: protect children's spines from backpack damage. Their design is endorsed by orthopedic specialists and features an ultra-light EVA construction that maintains structure without heavy weight. Popular in Asia and Europe, growing in the US market.

GMT uses EVA foam construction which is inherently BPA-free and phthalate-free. Materials meet EU safety standards (among the strictest globally). No Bluesign or OEKO-TEX certification published specifically. The orthopedic focus suggests attention to material quality.

The spine protection system is the key feature - structured EVA panels designed in consultation with orthopedic specialists to support proper posture. Ultra-light at under 2 lbs despite the structure. S-curve shoulder straps and adjustable chest strap ensure proper fit.

22L capacity handles elementary school loads. The structured EVA maintains shape even when empty, unlike soft backpacks that collapse.
