I've been looking for a great looking shoe that my toddler can't take off.  These are perfect.  Since they're high tops, I lace them up all the way, double knot them, and I don't have to worry about him losing a shoe in the store.  The only problem with Chuck Taylors are that they're somewhat difficult to put on my son's wide feet.  I can tell that they're fine and comfortable once I put them on him, but I have to spend a lot of time loosening up and re-tightening the laces.  I did go a size larger than my son's normal shoe size because his feet are kind of wide, and they fit perfectly.  Really, you can't go wrong with Chucks.
