Come 2022, these three will be embarking on their Primary 1, Upper Primary and Secondary 1 journeys. Yup, huge milestones for all of them, right?
As a mum, I am always concerned about the health of my kids and that includes their spinal health too. The general guideline from Health Promotion Board is for children to carry no more than 15 per cent of their bodyweight. However, despite my kids' best efforts to pack their school bags, I still find that they are rather heavy on most days - I always ask them if they brought a rock, haha. Therefore, I deem it important to go for good quality, ergonomic bags from the start.
We visited Ergoworks Singapore to check out the ErgoJunior range of ergonomic school bags. Swipe to see more. These bags encourage good posture and help to provide sturdy support for the spine by distributing weight across the back, shoulders and neck.
Asher and Ariel decided on the IMPACT bags, which is a brand we have trusted for a long time since it is the only ergonomic brand internationally endorsed and recommended by Singapore Physiotherapy Association and The Chiropractic Association (Singapore). Check out some of their latest designs in my video, including Ariel's mermaid one that comes with a magnetic buckle and S-type multi-directional support system.
Asher eventually decided on a blue IMPACT backpack which weighs 635grams and is rated as the "lightest ergonomic school bag" - this was recommended by the store manager since he is a year end baby and quite small for a boy going to Primary 1.
As for Angel, she was over the moon with her ONE POLAR ergonomic backpack which has a patented airy light back-care system and even a secret anti-theft compartment. The bag also has many different compartments, much to her delight, so she can organise her stuff and keep her books upright.
Ergoworks is located in Marina Square at #03-140/141. Do visit the store to check out the wide range of bags and see which one fits your child the best.
P.S. We have a giveaway coming up so like this post and stay tuned for more details!

1. Martin Luther King, Jr., said, ‘Everybody can be great because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You don’t have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don’t have to know Einstein’s Theory of Relativity to serve. You don’t have to know the Second Theory of Thermodynamics and Physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.’” 🦋

Book recommendation: “A Bright Moon For Fools” by Jasper Gibson
I haven’t fallen so hard for a book in a very long time. The story features an anti-hero of sort, easily one of the most despicable protagonist I’ve ever met. However, as the story progresses I found myself awkwardly dismounting my high horse, diving head first into this outrageously perfect masterpiece. The humour is impeccable — but the best thing about the book is how unfiltered and “politically incorrect” it is. It feels good to know that the inappropriate thoughts I have are shared by someone else, albeit a fictional character. All fuckery aside, this is a beautiful and touching story about love, forgiveness and redemption. Hands down one of my top 10 (hell, maybe top five) favourite books.
