This is perfect for my 2yr old daughter! It has been really hard to find a backpack that is her size, and this one is just right. We bought this for her to take on a trip to Mexico and is a perfect carry-on for her. It has a nice big pocket for her snacks, a change of clothes etc.. and the front little pocket holds a lot of games and books. The cheese on the zipper is really cute and makes her giggle as she "feeds" it to the mouse. Would definitely recommend this!!
