Thank you, daisyt. I knew there was a thread somewhere about this but i couldn't find it..

[hahahyper]

I was thinking about buying my twins's bag from Ink. What do you all think?

Here is a picture of what the bag will look like: http://www.zincbags.com.sg/hvs_5413.html

What do you think of this kind of bag and give me some suggestions.
Thank you.

Hahahyper, i personally feel that a bag itself, before putting anything inside, is already heavy is not suitable for school bag. Canvas material can be heavy already before put anything in. PVC material might be better and waterproof. But canvas is washable lah. My child carried a crumpler bag for sometime and change to a pvc bag pack. The crumpler bag is heavy before putiing any books in.

[quote=\"parentof3\"]It seems like a sling bag is really a wrong choice. My DS packed his bag for tomorrow's lesson and finds that it's too heavy to carry on his shoulder, especially he still needs to take public transport. End up have to use my spare haversack.

Mine use haversack but still heavy due to thick textbooks. In the end handcarry 2 texts to alleviate shoulder strain. Now sourcing for book binder (ie those elastic type). Sch has no locker.

My DD carries a haversack initially, but complained heavy and shoulder pain. She tried hand carry some books (wrap with velco strap). Now she put these books into a carrier - this is a better solutions.[/quote]Do you mean those binders in Popular?I don't personally like them.

you may want to take a look at Satch. They have nice trendy designs and they’re also ergonomic. It’s available in Scool, Ergokid and The Travel Stores.

I saw many of my friends use Converse,ZINC,Jansport,VOX and even Smiggle XD but I think its kinda childish to have a Smiggle Bag in Sec XD I think its better to have a more awesome bag like Converse,ZINC,Jansport,VOX etc.

Believe it or not , dd has a classmate carrying a smiggle backpack to school and even has the matching smiggle pencil case, eraser, pencil and whatever you can think of . Lol XD
