Dr Terry says...

"Choosing the correct backpack 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.  After examining Harlequin's Tuff-pack range, I was extremely impressed to find that all their school bags are very lightweight to wear and incorporate an ergonomic backpanel that Harelquin has deisgned anatomically for extra spinal comfort.  A particulalry well designed, high quality school bag from Harlequin that any parent should be impressed by."

"Because school children are carrying so much to and from school these days and to help alleviate future back probelms, it is vitally important for our children to be wearing correctly deisgned ergonomic backpacks properly and 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 deisgning their ergonomic Tuff-packs that aid 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 back panel which helps to reduce back strain and aslo makes the bags extremely comfortable to wear.  As a parent, nothing is more improtant 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 Harelquin's quality products to any school or parent and in fact, I now use the OsteoTuff-pack myself!"

Doctor of Osteopathy, Bruce Lang:

“I recommend and endorse Harlequin Tuff-packs for growing spines as I have seen many types of school bags over the years and I was particularly impressed with the innovative design of the anatomical and sculpted back panel of the Harlequin bag.  I was also very happy to find that the bags were lightweight and extremely robust which is important to today's school children as they are expected to carry so much in their school bags.”

Update August 2009:

Hi Harlequin,

The Web site looks great!   I thought you would be very pleased to know that our son Christopher is off to High School next year.  We bought his "Ergo" bag over 5 years ago and it's still in good enough shape to pass on to this brother Anthony who will be in year 3 next year - testament enough for fantastic quality!!  

“At last, school bags that deliver what they promise!  After 4 school years and one term, my son still hasn’t managed to break a strap, a zipper, tear a hole or otherwise destroy your bags.  I expect them to last until my son’s last year of Primary school and probably beyond.  If only the rest of his school gear was as durable!”

Mr G Manns – Happy parent, Collaroy School.

Hi Harley!  My order from last year is dwindling quickly due to a large number of Primary students wanting the Harlequin backpack when normally they go for 'name brands'.  This is great as your bags are better at supporting their backs.  Thanks for a great product!
