They must get heavy and be a strain on their back?
Do you have a backpack?
Yes I have several that I use or rather used to use. I have a couple sold as "Day packs" (20 litres or less)- they are small and handy for carrying binoculars, water, sandwiches, notebook, hat even an umbrella etc when on day trips or long walks.
Don't use them much now because I haven't been to Sydney since the pandemic started.
I have a larger one (30litres) that I use as my carry on luggage when I travel overseas, I like them because you can push it under the seat in front rather than use the over head locker on planes. Again another thing of the past.
These small backpacks are great, wouldn't leave home without one
