He loves wearing it to the park, to the zoo, to drop off his siblings at school - pretty much anywhere he goes. And, once he started preschool, it was perfect for carrying his snack and water bottle. We've gotten so many compliments on this one, which is so cute for dinosaur-loving kids, but there are plenty of mini backpacks out there to suit any toddler's interests!
