All ready for Primary School {Review & Giveaway of ERGOWORKS}

Posted by ~Summer~ on November 16, 2018

Making the leap from preschool to primary school is a huge milestone for every child. Even though I'm not new to the how everything works - from registration and orientation to recesses and routines - since the firstborn is in Primary 3 already, I have to remind myself that it's a big change for Ariel who is going to make her transition very soon. While she seems to be mostly excited about it, I am pretty sure she feels the jitters too and can't help but wonder how she will adapt and fit into the new school.

Having learnt from experience in the past three years, one of the things I can do as a mum to help ease her transition is to make her feel eager and positive about the change. For starters, since I'm in the parents support group committee, I've been bringing her with me to school to let her get familiarised with the surroundings. She knows how to get to the main gate, she has tried buying her own food from the canteen, she can make her way to the general office and she has a concept of how things will work differently in the new system. We will also be attending her P1 orientation together this week so that she can get acquainted with her form teachers and classmates, learn about the school rules, receive her book list and try out her new uniforms too.

Another important step in preparing her for Primary One is to get a new school bag - not just any school bag, but a quality one that will make her feel comfortable and last through the years. I believe in investing in a slightly more expensive, ergonomic school bag in this case because I've learnt that no matter how hard the child tries to follow the timetable and pack a light load, the truth is my firstborn always seems to be carrying a rock to and fro school and it scares me to think of how it can hurt her spine over time. I'm not the type of mum who will offer to carry their school bags so they will have to be able to do it themselves. Also, since the elder sister walks home from school on her own and I have every intention of letting the little sister join her in doing so, that means I will want to feel assured that I have done my best in trying to instill good postures, maximise comfort and reduce stress by getting a good ergonomic school bag for them.

In this post, I'll be sharing with you about Ariel's new IMPACT school bag and our shopping experience at ERGOWORKS where we learnt a good deal about how ergonomic products can make a difference in our kids' lives. For those of you who would love to get a new school bag for your child too, I'm giving away not one, but TWO brand new IMPACT Air Light Spinal Protection Backpacks worth $169 each. Read on to the end for more details on how to participate.

LOCATION

We visited ERGOWORKS' flagship outlet at Marina Square (#03-140/141) which spans over an area of 3,000 sqft and looks not just spacious, but welcoming too. There was more than ample space for the kids to roam around and while Ariel was choosing her school bag with me, the baby brother was sleeping peacefully in the stroller which I tucked away in a corner and the big sister was delighted to start reading a book she saw at the ergonomic tables and chairs section.


A big reason why we were drawn to this place was because of the vibrant, multi-hued school bags which were hung neatly on the wall, as well as all the colourful, striking accessories and products. Ariel's reaction was "Wow, so many nice bags to choose from!" and couldn't wait to start picking out the designs that appealed to her.


For your convenience, you can also find other ERGOWORKS outlets at Centrepoint (#03-36) and Causeway Point (#03-26). Let's take a closer look at the range of school bags you can find at the Marina Square outlet and which were our favourite picks.

CHOOSING YOUR SCHOOL BAG

We have always believed in IMPACT school bags because this was the first brand we picked for our firstborn and it lasted us well through the years. Not only do these ergonomic school bags come in attractive colours, the designs are functional and the material is of superior quality too. Did you know? IMPACT is the only ergonomic brand internationally endorsed and recommended by Singapore Physiotherapy Association and The Chiropractic Association (Singapore), which I think says a lot about the brand itself.

If you don't know yet, you can get to enjoy a 20% trade in offer with any used IMPACT bag (regardless of condition) and a 15% discount with SAFRA membership card or Cordlife Circle membership card. Note that this discount is applicable for regular priced bags only.

In wanting to let Ariel have the freedom in choosing her own bag, she took time to try on her preferred designs one by one. We met the assistant Sales Manager, Winston, who was very kind to let her try them on and he took the time and effort to help her adjust the belt and straps accordingly so that the bag fitted snugly every time.




We learnt that the recommended weight of a school bag, complete with all the books and stationery, is around 15% of your child's body weight. I would like to keep it in this range for my kids to avoid unnecessary stress and damage to spinal health. If you think about it, a school bag on average weighs around 1kg already and if you have a child who weighs around the same as Ariel (18kg), that means you need to try to reduce the load to around 2-3kg. Let me assure you that this WILL be a daunting task because primary schoolers have seriously a lot of books, worksheets, files and stationery to carry to school. The good thing is with a truly ergonomic bag like IMPACT, it is still acceptable if the weight exceeds the ideal and is a little close to 20% because the bag helps to counter the 'extra' weight and evenly distribute it. Yes, a big PHEW for me.

Not all schools have in place the system where students can keep their textbooks in classrooms or provide lockers for them to deposit some of their personal belongings. This means that while it is important for the kids to learn to pack their bags according to the timetable every day, it is also equally essential that the school bag is sturdy, light, comfortable to carry and promotes better posture.

Here's sharing the top three picks that Ariel chose that day and which design she decided on eventually.

1) Ergo-Comfort Spinal Support Backpack IMPACT IPEG-130

Weighing 900g, this was one of the lightest bags that we tried and not only was it comfortable to carry due to the soft material and chest stabilisation belt, the design - with the different shades of red and pink - was one of the more stylish ones we saw. However, the downside for us was that height of the bag (42cm) made it too long for Ariel to carry. It is recommended that the bottom of the school bag does NOT exceed beyond half of the buttocks of the child. So in this case, this was not a good fit for Ariel's petite size.



2) IMPACT Air Light Spinal Protection Backpack IPEG-226

This is the latest model to hit the stores and it features a patented 3D Airy Light Back-Care System to reduce stress on spine and back. We found it rather unique as compared to the rest because it comes with a buckle and drawstring instead of the usual zipper. I thought it looked pretty nice and cool on Ariel and in fact, I think this would be a good bag to bring along for any outdoor adventure too. Available in three colours - pink, blue and purple, this was definitely one of our top picks that day. The only thing to note is that the child has to be adept at the drawstring and buckle, if not it would take longer for him/her to open or close the bag. That said, I think all it takes is a bit of practice and we would strongly recommend this model too. This is the one that I will be giving away at the end of the post so you can start to think about which is your favourite colour!




3) Ergo-Comfort Spinal Support Backpack IMPACT IM-0037A

Ariel's last pick was a similar model that her elder sister chose three years ago when it was her turn to enter Primary One. I think the main pull factor was because this one came in such a pretty shade of purple, which happens to be her favourite colour, that many girls would find it hard to resist too. Yes, I mean just look at that sweet combination of pastel purple and pink, even I had to admit that I was attracted to it at first glance too.

With the multiple organiser compartments, elastic straps, detachable waist belt and breathable material, this design has always been one of our best-loved ones throughout the years. Personally, I also prefer the kids to choose a bag with a sturdy structure so that it stands upright on its own without having to lean against the table or chair. It makes it easier for the child to reach inside to retrieve the belongings or pack the bag at the end of the class, right?




Can you guess which school bag she decided on in the end? Or rather, I think she already made up her mind from the start. Haha.

Yes, the PURPLE one, of course!

Anyway, to make it easier for parents to determine which type of ergonomic bag or furniture will suit the child most, you can also find a weighing scale and height chart inside the store too.





GETTING THE ACCESSORIES

Next, let's move on to the accessories! Firstly, let's talk about water bottles. I have to tell you that we have been fans of the IMPACT water bottles for the longest time and I've even bought the same ones a few times because the kids somehow lose their bottles every once in a while.

The ones that we are using are the 450ml Nano Ionizer Jump Lid Water Bottle which retails at $19.90 each. Not only are they BPA free, they are also light weight, odour free, temperature resistant, heat resistant and very durable too - I can't count how many times we have dropped these bottles but they have never leaked or become spoilt. The key spring open cover also makes it easy to open and close and even my toddler is comfortable with using this bottle and does it with ease. The wide opening design also makes it easy for the girls to refill their own bottles and clean them thoroughly too.

Another unique feature of the water bottles is the inbuilt nano ionizing technology, thanks to the revolutionary, high tech Tritan FDA compliant material used in making them. This technology helps in reducing water molecules, thus making it easy to absorb and increasing the capacity to promote the body's metabolism, activate cells and enhance immunity. It is recommended that you change a bottle every year or when scratches start to appear on the inside of the bottle because that is when the ionizing properties no longer work.




Besides water bottles, IMPACT also offers a range of quality accessory products including wallets, stationery pouches and carry bags. The stationery pouches come in simplistic, functional designs and there are four colours you can choose from - red, purple, sky blue, navy blue.

I'm fully aware of how a school bag might not be sufficient to contain all the books or artwork the child might need to bring home on some days, so a carry bag such as this one below will come in handy. See how happy she looks with her new pink carry bag? Very striking, right? I guess that makes it hard for her to lose it. Haha.

ERGOWORKS is now running a Purchase with Purchase promotion whereby for every purchase of an IMPACT bag, you can receive a Back to School Bundle - stationery pouch and carry bag - with a top up of $9.90 only (usual price $46.80). Minimum spend is $90 and available while stocks last. I think it's a pretty good deal and definitely value for money!



With everything in place, I think she's more or less all set for Primary School!


ERGONOMIC FURNITURE

We also came across some of the ergonomic furniture in ERGOWORKS and since we learnt a couple of new things, I would like to share them with you too. For instance, I was taught about the proper sitting posture and these are the things to take note of:

- Thighs must be parallel to the ground and form a 90 degree with the leg
- Feet must be rested flat on the ground or on a footrest
- The back of the knee must not be touching the seat
- Shoulders should be relaxed and elbows kept close to the body
- Back should be as close to the chair as possible to get the full support from the backrest





Winston showed the girls the proper sitting posture and I was very thankful for that because these girls have a tendency to fidget in their seats, slouch or just come up with the weirdest sitting positions at times. He reiterated on the importance of good postures and how this could potentially benefit our health in the long run.

We were also introduced to the STYLE KIDS Back Support, something which I've never let the kids try before and am tempted to do so now. These unique structures wrap the pelvis to help correct postures naturally and other than sitting in it, no effort is required of the kids so they won't even realise that they are practising the right sitting positions.


Growing up, I didn't have a study table or chair so my revision corner was always the sofa and a coffee table which I had to bend over in order to do any writing. Thus, when I became a mum and the kids started attending school, one of my priorities was to get a good table and chair set for them. We've been using our ergonomic tables and chairs at home for the past two years and I love how these furniture grow with the child since they are height adjustable. The table top can be tilted depending on whether you are using it for writing, reading or painting and the chair can be adjusted to ensure that you can getting full back support and sitting in the optimal position.





ERGOWORKS offers a variety of good quality ergonomic desk and chair sets for you to choose from, including trustworthy brands like Comta Kids, IMPACT and Ergostars. We tried out a few of them and the kids said they felt so comfortable sitting in the chairs and reading the storybooks that it was hard for me to pull them away afterwards. Well, I am hoping that having a good desk and chair will continue to motivate them to study, read more and work hard!

There are several promotions going on now, including 6-in-1 bundle deals, free gifts, free local delivery and some of the sets are even retailing for less than half price! I strongly recommend that you invest in a good desk and chair set for the kids because it will bring about benefits in both the short and long runs, especially since these products are durable and can last through the years.


Lighting is a crucial factor when it comes to protecting our kids' eyesight and I always stress to my girls that they need to switch on their desk lamps whenever they are reading or writing. For now, we are all free from myopia and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it can stay this way in the years to come. We saw a range of Philips LED table lamps being sold at affordable prices at ERGOWORKS so you can check these out too if you are looking for one.



Have you heard of an ergonomic mattress before? It's the first time I came across it so I was really intrigued about how it works. Basically, the mattress is customised and made to measure based on your height, head and shoulder measurements and designed specifically to best support the neck, shoulder, upper back, lower back and spinal cord in helping to ensure a good night's rest.

It comes in kids' sizes too and this was Ariel's favourite corner of the day. Yup, she felt so comfortable lying on the organic latex mattress and said she could sleep there all day long! As one can expect, the price of these made to measure mattresses are on the high end but if you are able to afford one, perhaps it might just be the solution to more comfortable and restful nights.



All in all, we had a most fun and informative shopping experience where we learnt a good deal about good postures and ergonomic solutions. Thank you, ERGOWORKS!


Here's a short clip to take you around the store and show you more of our experience!

GETTING READY

Ariel brought her new IMPACT school bag out recently just so she could have a better feel of it. It's a much bigger bag as compared to her preschooler small backpack so I thought she would need a little bit of time to get used to it.




She is now quite adept at opening the bag and is also excited to pack all her new books into the different compartments. Yes, see all the different compartments which will hold the books snugly? This will help to not just organise her stuff, but more importantly reduce the stress on her back by ensuring that the belongings don't bump around when she walks.

Water bottle and umbrella go to the left and right pockets while wallet and house keys (yes, she is getting a set of keys just like her sister, in case she gets home herself and for some reason the door is locked) fit nicely into the front pouch. She is so in love with the whole purple colour and the pink zipper sliders too, and I am happy just to see that she is happy.





This little girl is definitely most pleased with her new school bag too and I have no doubt that it makes her feel excited and ready to embark on her Primary School journey soon. Woohoo, let's bring it on!

  75. My daughter is going into P1 next year too, and I was searching for what kind of bag to get her, which is how I can across this post. Very useful indeed, it gave me a clearer picture of what to look for, thank you! Would love to get the blue IPEG-226 (so that either my daughter OR my son can use it, though I myself an leaning towards the purple as that is my favourite colour, lol) but I kinda like the one Ariel chose in the end (my daughter is petite too!), so I might check that out for myself in stores this weekend!

    Thanks for all the tips!
