<human>:  How much weight can a five year old carry? This will be in a backpack on a 20 mile hike.
<bot>: Are you asking for a ballpark figure? I wouldn’t advise that five year olds carry 20 pounds in their backpack, no matter how many miles they are hiking. They’re not fully grown adults yet, you know, and this would stress out their bodies and cause unnecessary fatigue. There’s probably a safety range that you’d want to stay inside of, like 5 to 15 pounds. Anything more than that would start to be dangerous.
