Thanks buds. Now you gave me a brilliant idea - check out his classroom level. If 1st floor, will delay his ergo bag to later year/s.

Authentic ergo bag reali expensive leh..
And i find most are rather bulky for both my DDs' vital statistics. :lol:

Hi All,


Important to get a bag that can accomodate A4 size folder? If not like some parents said where the child need to carry in the hand all the time!
My DS classroom would be in 2nd floor, so I intedn to get Ergo bag.

Does the POP Bag from Popular seem good? How is it compare with IMPACT, SPI & Deuter?

NOTE : Not many P1 books are A4 sized.

And some workbooks are kept in the school (with the teacher).
The school will inform which are the books they will keep around mid 1st wk.

I think rather than ensuring the bag can take A4 size, you should preferably get the kind that can take files/papers/books that will not curl the top corners. My DD’s sch requires them to have homework files colour-coordinated by level. For her first bag, the files and a few bigger books kept getting dog-eared. Then, her bag gave way (cannot tahan the rough usage) so we replaced it with one that was "taller" and we stopped having the "dog-eared" problem.

Hi,


Went to my ds orientation last Saturday.
There was a vendor selling ergo bag, brand: Firelfy.
Selling at $45 / $55(latest model).

Any reviews on this brand and also is the price considered expensive for a bag like that??

Thanks

I whole-heartedly agree with the above. :celebrate:
I have personal experiences with this as well.
I've bought my DD1 a small hole-puncher to do up
the holes properly in the folders. I simply hate it
when i see papers dog-eared and not aligned in a
straight up fashion with the rest of the other papers.
That's when i will step in and sort them out properly. :x

Hi, this brand is available in Popular too - think the price range is about $70/+=. Not sure if there are any difference but sounds like you got a good deal. Go check it out in Popular.

Hi All,


So far seen so many bags like SPI, Impact, Deuter, POP where seem like Impact quite good. Any one have good review on Deuter? Is Deuter really suitable for P1?

[Tri-mum]

I was at United Square last Sun. SPI is having sales (either $40 or $69 off the original price). However, my DD is complaining SPI is heavy even we have chosen the lightest weight to try on her. I’ve seen POPkids at Popular, this is much lighter weight. Any review on this?


Hi Titank, where to find Impact?

[titank]

I was at OG Chinatown where can find SPI, Deuter & Impact. SPI was having a 20% discount on 22 Nov 09. (Last Day).


Agree with you that SPI the small bag seem heavy, I personally think that Impact is more ergonomically being design.
