School Bags For Sec 1

[cindylauper]

I would highly recommend a sturdy haversack with proper backing for teenage girls. I strongly believe scoliosis (curvature of spine) can be caused or aggravated by carrying heavy bags on one shoulder for young girls. I bought a samsonite haversack for my daughter, it is really strong and has a good support for her spine.

Can show a picture of the bag you recommend ?

I agree especially when my dd has not reached puberty yet..However, Samsonite may be too boring for a Sec gal. Any good support bags but with cool designs out there? I bought her a Crumpler backpack but made a mistake becos i realised subsequently that the space is not enough for her books! Got to get another one...

No prob - crumpler is a brand. More high end and one of those sought after by teens/young adults. I bought it because it is supposed to be better qualty and last very long so don't mind paying higher amount.

Just came to know of Deuter ergo bags. I am now \"reseaching\" for their backpack range. It is supposed to be ergonomic (good spine support), one of the few in the market that does it for the teen market.

Both Crumpler and Deuter links are here:

My dd also got one sling crumpler for this year. The sling design is quite good, when carry, won't feel heavy (according to her).

Both my DDs were using Zinc bags last year. This year Jie Jie told her sister that Dickies Bags are \"IN\". So the Sec 1 Mei Mei went out with $40 and came back with 10cents and a Dickies bag. The bag comes with life time warranty though, don't ask me warranty against what bcos I have not register for the warranty yet.

DD cannot do the sling type because it looks gigantic on her. She very small & skinny leh...Still look like P3 or P4...I like the sling design better than the backpack actually...

Yes, I saw the crumpler at ION last nite. Very nice but expensive.

May get for her birthday but why is it that it won't feel heavy when carry ?

Thanks
