Agreed. That's why I have switched to a smaller one for #2.

Saw Impact bags at Metro … $89 if I recall correctly…


By the way, my girlfriend advises me to make sure that the bag can accomdate A4 size paper folder which the schools always have separate worksheets etc otherwise the kid will always need to hand carry.

By the way, need advice here. If school DOES allow trolley bags, would you still opt for ergo bag or trolley bag instead?

I would not buy a trolley bag. Very uncomfortable when carried on the back.

When my elder boy was in p1… I bought SPI special edition bag… that bag is good except for the zip and the straps… I bought another SPI bag in p4… both cost me $130+ each. Then my younger boy in p1 year, I decided to buy CROSSCOM… it cost slightly over $200… and he has finished p4… and I think it will last him till p6. So I highly recommend CROSSCOM… they have an office in FORUM near Hilton Hotel.

When ds1 was P1. I bought him a POP Kids bag. At P2, I bought him a Mickey Mouse bag, but he said that his POP bag is still good, don’t have to be replaced yet. My maid washed it and it looked brand new again. Now at end of P2, it still looks very good. I think it can last for another year.


DS1 does not need to carry a lot of stuff to school daily. The only textbook he brings to school daily is the Higher Chinese Text. The rest are some worksheets in the files, stationaries, some exercise books, a water bottle, and 1 -2 storybooks.

My opinion is, if the kids need not carry a lot of things to school, we should choose a school bag that is as light as possible and yet sturdy for them. Some of the ergonomic bags are already quite heavy even when empty.

Yes. I did. My DD has two bags.
She started with trolley bags in P1
cause the school allowed it + the P1
classes are all ground level. When her
bag is not so heavy i get her to bring the
Campro haversack bought from Popular.
Not the expensive ergonomic kind but will
do... it is good enough. At least for P1 lah.

In P2, on and off she will still use her trolley
bag. I am okay with it.
