What can I say about Master Prince….its a similar recurring theme. It must be a record that he manage to trash 2 bags in his first month of school!! In total, that’s 4 bags and we are only half way through the school year. Btw, these bags are not cheap costing between $70-100 each.
After a mishap with his 3rd bag, we just gave up and told him he was not getting a new one - well that was until a fortnight ago since it was really in a dreadful state. *will he be teased thus getting scared emotionally for life?? - probably NOT* In fact, grandpa was all up into taping the flap with a stronger masking tape or stapling it. Thinking about it now, I should have just cut it out totally and maybe start a new trend - the 'worn holey look', do you think it will takeoff like those tattered hole jeans??
Perhaps the bags are of interior quality with the main gripe being the zippers getting spoiled first every time. Also noticed that perhaps there are just way too many school books to bring, splitting the seams and handle too easily. Wish the school would seriously consider providing lockers so that the kids do not grow stunted carrying their heavy school bags. But wait, kids thesedays don’t really carry but roll them right? Well then environmentally & socially minded bag makers should consider rubber tyres for rollers instead of those flimsy plastic ones – gee, for a moment that could work but probably be torn apart for not maximising profits!!! *boss sure ketuk wan*
So perhaps we shouldn’t be so tough on MP. Then again we really wish he would just learn to take more care and just be mindful about his own things!! Somehow he just doesn’t seem to value his things – probably he's part of the comfortable generation 'P' (=pampered) who gets things too easily?

Hee hee! :) Well, I can sympathize about the zippers. I've broken many in the past as well. :)
How about a plain and simple bag. :) Those sports bag are tough and will last. Plus, very colorful and they do come in small sizes.
Hmmm... kids trolley bags. Samsonite sturdy enough? I know that they're not cheap but there is a lifetime guarantee and if your kids managed to break them, you can go back to them and say that they aren't childproof! Haha! They have some kiddie range bags which I nearly bought for myself >.>
Wena, i think basically the bags can't take the weight of the books the kids need to bring to school. Already the handle on the latest bag is bursting.
Samsonite should be super sturdy (well, by reputation anyway).
I like cute bags myself :)
