the name does hold true to its size, toddler pack. It's light weight, not heavy. The day it arrived he liked wearing it, walked around the house with it. He put his cartoons in there. It's a good size that the child will not carry too much or a heavy object. I cannot wait for summer season so he can have his waterbottle or juice in there or sweater. I am glad I bought this pack for him. I recommend this for parents looking for a "Not So Heavy" or "bulgy" toddler pack for their kid(s).
