Any parents here got the abv mentioned for their kids?

This bag recently won an award and although I find the design good, I also think the price is a tad too pricey.

Thanks for your imput. Very helpful. I short listed Deuter Scholar but cant decide to get S or M. Is your DD small built? Was it 'thick' enough to keep all the books?

I'm new here. So I like to contribute by posting a summary from my search for dd's bag:

1. Backpack or trolley? Backpack. Students are not allowed to use lifts, so imagine lugging a trolley up stairs.
2. Ergo or not to ergo? Some say that this thing about ergo is a marketing gimmick. They're not cheap. So if you have a non-ergo bag, just let the bag sit as high up the back as possible.
3. Lightest ergo bag. Deuter has the lightest bags around. Impact and Lego bags are the heaviest, followed by SPI. Due to more padding.
4. Best place to compare: OG Orchard (SPI, Deuter, Impact), then to Centerpoint (SPI, Lego).
5. Cheapest place: OG Orchard during sale. Elsewhere all standard price. SPI limited to 10% off.
6. Ergo brands: SPI, Lego, Impact, Firefly/Popular brand, Deuter. Crosscom has some bags for serious money. Artfriend at Ngee Ann City has a German brand Herlitz that has a great large bag for older kids at a reasonable price.

I got the Deuter small scholar act for my dd, nice and light.

Some primary schools ban trolley bags.

Missed the SPI sale. Any idea if they usually have another sale around year end? In Nov or Dec?

Just came back from Orchard, OG staff said SPI bag will be having 20% discount from 30 Aug 12, one of the Impact bag will be $59 if using OG cutting coupon. SPI bags at Kinderfun will be $30 discount start on 1 Sep to 9 Sep. But I went to Impact centrepoint showroom to get the Impact Shinkansen at $49.90, hehe!

I went to OG Chinatown. But might buy a normal school bag for ds becos dd1's books are mostly kept in class. After observing for 3 terms, I think ds might not need ergo bag.
