ABSTRACT:
A backpack assembly having a backpack, and a pad and a retaining strap, both connected to the backpack. The backpack has a front panel secured to a back panel, with a chamber defined between the panels, the front panel having a top, a bottom, and opposite sides. The backpack includes a pair of shoulder straps secured to the backpack such that, with the straps positioned over the shoulders of a person, the front panel faces and is generally parallel to the back of the person while the backpack is worn. The pad includes a first face and a second face, with the pad being connected to the backpack by at least one pad strap, such that the pad is movable between a first position, where the first face contacts the front panel, and a second position, where the first face is placed on a chair seat and the backpack rests upon a horizontal support surface. The retaining strap includes a fixed end connected to the backpack adjacent the top of the front panel, and a free end. The free end has a fastener for mating with one of two fasteners, these being one fastener located on the back panel of the backpack, while the pad is in the first position, and another fastener on the first face of the pad, while the pad is in the second position.
