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 ?

Thanks

you can look at the bags shown in this link for an idea.

Ds1 uses a Nike backpack which I got from Royal Sporting House for $80 : http://www.ebags.com/nike/team_training_xl_backpack_with_max_air/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=133849


Ds 2 uses a Victorinox all black backpack which is very hardy and is great for files. Boring but can't go wrong with all black. Ds1 didn't want it so it got passed on to him. http://www.victorinox-travelgear.com/index.php?p=97&i=7304

He used to use this JanSport which is a great bag for school with lots of compartments but he didn't want to use it for sec school so his younger brother's using it. http://www.jansport.com/js_product_detail.php?pid=TEC4

I am looking for backpack with compartment for 12"-13" notebook. Found 1 at Targus selling about 100+. I havent bought such bags for a long time and I noticed the crumpler and Samsonite are mostly >100. Am I outdated or are there good notebook/backpack for less than <100?

I recently saw a shop in Sim Lim sells back pack with lap tops compartment at reasonable price (definitely < 100) and the quality look pretty good. But very sorry, I can't remember the name of the shop nor the level it is at (but definitely not the ground floor, think it's higher than 2nd level).

all the 3 bags I bought have laptop compartments but you get what you pay for in terms of quality of padding n sturdiness of material. The Nike was the cheapest at $80 n the material is not thick. Jan Sport was about $100 n bit more padding but the Victorinox is so sturdy and well padded it cost a lot more. I think it's meant more for business travellers - it's actually dh's bag- n will provide the best protection for a laptop amongst the 3. It also has lockable zippers for the last compartment where the laptop compartment is located.

Thanks, Chirunner.


We have decided to tentatively let her carry her current Sierra backpack (not much cushion, but light) and then we buy her a notebook cushion case. I think it saves cost and the bag is also slightly lighter on those days that she’s not carrying the notebook.
