Hi All,


Any idea where can I get trolley & roller bag for Primary 1 student?Prefer comes with warranthy period & comply to certain codes & standards.

Titank, I personally think trolley bag is not very easy to handle esp for yound kids. You can try the ergonomic bag as suggested by MMM. My two kids used the brand SPI & they are real lasting. My girl is in P4 now & she is still using the same bag since P1. My boy also used his bag fm P1-P4. After 4 yrs, the condition is still gd but I buy a new one cos' the old one design is a bit childish. I pass the old bag to someone (after washing) cos its such a waste to discard it. I usually wash the bag at the yr end sch hols & it looks like a brand new bag again. The bag comes in 2 sizes S & L (approx. $129 for the L one).

Hi pinky88

Agree with you that the SPI bag is good investment. Can I know to what extent can we get it washed? Did you soak the bag wet or merely wiping the surface? I do that once in a while this yr when he gets crapon marks on them. However I intend to have it a more thorough cleaning this yr end. Any advice?

My two children are carrying the ergonomic bags. Just gave the bags a good wash during the 1 week PSLE marking holidays. I soak them in water with some soap powder for about 10 mins and I hand wash them after that. Looks clean and good after the wash.

Titank, I suggest u visit the showrm instead of the dept store as they hv better discount usually during yr end. They used to advertise on \"The Straits Times\" with the cut-out discount coupon of $10-$20 (sorri, cannot recall liao). U may want to call the store to check. Also, I suggest u get the L size one since the price diff is abt $10 I think. Visit the website : http://www.kinderfun.com.sg (web under construction now, v. little info).

Or you can try the brand Impact.

Hi KingRascal, u don't hv to soak the bag. Juz splash thoroughly with water, srub with detergent & rinse well with water again..there u are, a brand new bag! I usually wash 1-2 times a yr. Happy washing..

//Moderator's note: Topics merged.


I am sure this topic has been discussed thousand times ... but can you let me know what is the pros and cons of the following bags?

1. NIVPAK
2. Impact
3. SPI
4. Deuter (Is this a ergonomic bag)

Which is the popular bag with the parents here?

Thanks.

I have mentioned in another thread that my boy used SPI from P1 to P5. So it is a very sturdy and tough bag. Then we changed to Deuter (Size L )because the SPI bag was getting too small for his books. For Deuter, look at the school bag range as they are ergonomic.


We have not used the other two brands, so cannot comment. Hope that helps.

Thanks Kuzco!


How do I know if it is ergonomic for Deuter range?
Do they specify in the label or if there is a specific model I shd look out for?
