      You can go to Zinc to buy. A lot of sec sch kids use this brand. My girl started using this when in P6.

        Hi


        Thanks…eh…where’s zinc? Are the bags costly? Can withstand the weight as noticed the books are quite bulky?

          There is one at Lot 1. There are many designs, some fabric, some leather. Price varies but affordable. Some sch have lockers so no need to carry heavy books, right?

            I used Converse backpack when I was in Secondary school.

            Till now, I still noticed many teenagers carrying this brand.

            I won’t advise sling bag though as the weight might be too heavy on one side of the shoulder.

              Hi compvale


              You may wish to consider sports brand bags like Nike, Adidas and Converse. The shops at Queensway Shopping Centre give good discounts.

                Some popular brands acceptable by these young kids are, Converse, Billabong, Crumpler, Zinc, Animals. Raffles City Shopping Center has Converse, Billabong, Crumpler and Animals there. So far I have seen, the price range is about $60 to $180.


                If your kids have lockers (which I personally against this concept), you can get those sling type.

                      It seems like a sling bag is really a wrong choice. My DS packed his bag for tomorrow’s lesson and finds that it’s too heavy to carry on his shoulder, especially he still needs to take public transport. End up have to use my spare haversack.
