“Mommy, this backpack makes me feel like I’m in space!” Our son couldn’t contain his excitement as he unveiled the new GMT Light Ergonomic School Backpack.

Intrigued, I questioned, “What makes you say that, Buddy?”

“Because it feels so light and durable!” was his confident response.

School Life Intensifies

With Buddy stepping into Primary Two, the demands of school begin to mount. This means more textbooks, additional stationery, and various essentials for his time at the Student Care Center, like extra clothes, footwear, and books. Though he’s growing up, we are cautious about the weight he carries on his back to ensure his physical development isn’t compromised.

Kids and Their Choices

I first noticed the GMT Light Ergonomic School Backpacks when some of Buddy’s schoolmates had them. A quick online search introduced me to GMT, a renowned ergonomic backpack brand from Norway. Since Buddy was due for a new backpack, I thought it would be fun for him to pick a design himself.

From an array of captivating designs, Buddy’s choice was quick and decisive – the blue ‘Transformer’ themed Jaeger Tiger model from the ‘GMT Light’ collection. Once ordered, it took just 5 working days for the backpack to arrive, and the excitement of unboxing a new package never gets old!

Impressions of Our Online Buy

Buddy was thrilled with his new acquisition. While assisting him in organizing his stuff, several standout features of the GMT Light Ergonomic School Backpack caught my eye:

• Light yet Robust: Despite weighing only 750g, the backpack has a resilient structure. The design ensures a snug fit against a child’s back, effectively supporting their spine.
• Quality Feel: The bag feels luxurious, with its solid build and plush interior lining. The 3-year warranty adds to the assurance of its quality.
• Organized Space: A spacious 22L main compartment and side pockets ensure everything has its place.
• Smooth Zippers: The zippers operate seamlessly, ensuring easy access for kids.
• Rain-ready: Given the unpredictable weather, the inclusive rain-cover is a blessing, easily fitting over the backpack and equally simple to store away.
• Weather-resistant: Crafted from breathable and water-resistant material, it’s apt for tropical climates like Singapore. The sturdy straps, paired with anti-skid buckles, ensure the backpack sits comfortably on a child’s back.
• Personal Touch: The interchangeable Velcro badges on the backpack exterior allow kids to customize their bags, offering various themes to resonate with different interests.

The Space Connection

A month into using the GMT Light Ergonomic School Backpack, Buddy is more attached to it than ever. He even proposed using it for our travels! When asked about his fascination, he re-emphasized the astronaut feeling it gives him.

Seeing our children grow and evolve tugs at our heartstrings. With increasing challenges at school, it’s comforting to know that we’ve equipped Buddy with a top-notch ergonomic backpack, which not only promotes good health but also fills him with joy. A choice that’s earned a thumbs-up from both father and son!
