Dr Terry says...

"Choosing the correct school bag for your child to start the school year with is an important decision for any parent to make.  Importantly, your school backpack should be ergonomic and light to carry to start with.  After examining Harlequin's school bag range, I was extremely impressed to find that all of their school bags are very lightweight to wear and incorporate an ergonomic back panel that Harlequin has designed anatomically for extra spinal comfort. A particularly well designed, high quality school bag that any parent should be impressed by."

Rebecca Izard says...

"Because school children are carrying so much to and from school these days and to help alleviate future back problems, it is vitally important for our children to be wearing correctly designed ergonomic backpacks  which are made specifically for use in schools.  I am very impressed with Harlequin's design specifications and the 15+ years experience they have in designing their ergonomic Tuff-packs. Harlequin is leading the way in alleviating the poor posture seen in our school children today."

"As a father of two teenagers and a Physiotherapist, I loved the Harlequin bags.  They are well made, durable, economical and very light.  Importantly, Harlequin have constructed their bags with a moulded anatomical spinal panel back panel which helps to reduce back strain and also makes the bags extremely comfortable to wear.  As a parent, nothing is more important than your children's health and these Harlequin Tuff-Packs certainly tick all the boxes.  As a Physiotherapist, I have no hesitation in highly recommending Harlequin's quality products to any school or parent and in fact, I now use the OsteoTuff-pack myself!"

Dr Tulloh says...

 "Given that children have little choice in what they are required to take to and from school, but may still need to walk fair distances and maneuver on and off buses and trains, it is important to use, as comfortable and lightweight ergonomic school bag as possible. Backpacks are the most suitable option, and the comfortable shoulder straps and ergonomic back panel make Harlequin's schoolbags an excellent choice. As a parent, I am also impressed by Harlequin's sturdy quality."
