I purchased this harness recently and couldn't be happier! At first I was disappointed because I couldn't find a cute stuffed animal harness that I could get on SHORT notice, but the quality and practicality of this product has turned my disappointment on it's head! My daughter loves to wear this around and put small books and toys in it. It so much easier to entice her to wear the backpack than her cousin's monkey harness. Unlike most girl items, it's not vomiting pink everywhere and matches more of her wardrobe. We recently went to Disneyland and it was perfect for holding her sweater and snacks when she didn't need them, and for keeping her safe and near me.

Another user commented that it had a strap around the hips, mine does not. I believe that was removed in a recent redesign.
