Just did a research if there is any available ergonomically designed school bag in Singapore.
Found this Firefly bag that is designed by Dr. Koh who did an extensive research on primary school pupils to come up with an erogonomic bag design.

Since most bags are designed to fit the posture of Caucasian children, Dr. Koh and his colleagues specifically designed these bags to fit the Asian children's frame that tends to be smaller.
The bag is broader and shorter compared to normal school bag that is long and narrow. Inspired by the trekking bag design, this bag takes after its weight redistribution design to allow weight to be distributed to stronger muscles.
The bag, reported by The Straits Times in 28 Feb 2013, has been tested on school children and the result is that this bag causes less stress on the lower bodies comparably to other bags.
It can compete well with other brands because of its comparatively lower price, it only costs $99 and is available in most book stores in Singapore.
