Stationery and School bags

[ying2]

Weight is not the only factor to consider when choosing a school bag, but it is still good to know before you buy one.


Lets do a survey on the weight of school bag of different brands and models when without loading.

I have a normal school bag (W30cm x H40cm x D20cm); Weight 500g
I read a brochure of Tiger ergo school bag (W35cm x H40.5cm x D21.5cm) Weight 990 - 1000g
I read somewhere that SPI bag spec in brochure stated Weight < 1.2kg

Wah! the extra form and padding in the ergo bag put on extra weight of 0.5 - 0.7kg to the bag. One ergo bag weight = 2 normal bags weight

Pls let us know the weight of your school back without load.

Was at Suntec yesterday, and saw a branded goods sale in Room 301.

They are selling Deuter ergonomic bags at $99 - $109. Don’t know what range though since I was in a hurry. Anyone working in the area can pop by to provide more info? Sales end tomorrow.

Other items they are selling are sports attire, water bottles, swimming goggles, Deuter (non-ergo) backpacks, etc. in case you’re looking for these items too.

My elder boy (sec 1) is using a Deuter ergonomic bag (which we bou from a shop in Centrepoint last year). My only complaint is it is padded too much, storage space is limited but the bag is so huge and takes up space esp in a public bus.

For parents who are looking for Impact school bags for their DD and DS, Metro is selling the 071 and 072 for $49.90 since before Xmas. Just bought one for DS today from Metro Sengkang. They have only 2 left, red and blue.

How long do you change your DD or DS school bag?

Son used his school bag from P1-2, at P3 changed to bigger one as he has more books...should still be using it until he goes sec school...I hope.
There are many brands of ergonomic bags now...can explore a little. A school bag shouldn't be too padded or it will be heavy even b4 putting books in.

Popular has a 'back to school' fair going on.

My son's first school bag was a trolley...it didn't last.
Then got a Lego SPI for him...lasted for 2 years. When he moved up to P3, that bag was too small. His present SPI active is still in good shape.
Traded in his old Lego bag for another SPI active for daughter who's going to P1 next yr. Got a good deal from trade in.

Where do you guys buy labels?? Do you get the label machine or just write name on paper and then use scotch tape to paste on the stationery/bag? :?

I printed out DS1's name and then used scotchtape to paste over.

Just wondering, colour pencils got to label? I'm a bit worried such stuff go missing but think it's a bit overkill leh.
