Recommendations: Strong School Bag

[Fulcrum29]

Ask your school if they sell bags. Many of the schools, as far as I know in the Western Cape, have an agreement of sorts to label Rumble Ace school bags. They aren't that expensive, and from my own experience it is a reliable bag with more than enough volume.

Edit: It is these bags.

I had one similar to these for almost my entire school career, except for sub A and sub B (grade 1 & grade 2). After I finished matric in 1980, it somehow got lost when I went away from home to do my two years' national service, July 1981 - June 1983.

Just check. The Boomerang bags have a repair policy. If their wheels kak or something else they replace it.

Can anyone recommend a place or brand of a school bag that can carry up 25 kg and last a decent amount of time?

Get a good laptop bag.

I got this one 7 years ago and it still looks new after being put through all sorts of schit. The thing is built to survive an apocalypse...

Give it to the kids, they will show you how to fsck it up.

My kid tried his best during his toddler years. All the different compartments were particularly interesting to him. It comes with a lifetime warranty for a reason...

Probably a good idea to get a compact hiking bag. But probably best to get something that won't get your kids bullied.

Maybe something like this

Don't know the brand. Don't know the quality. Don't know the weight rating. But yeah. As a concept I guess.

Using a First Ascent for work now and it’s great. Maybe that can work?

I’ve only used the boomerang bags for my teenager. They’re very resilient and can fit all those heavy books in. The new ones with the hard base are also great for protecting the bottom of the bag and the books if they roll it over wet surfaces.
