I totally do this too! My third is now 22 months and he's been toting his own "packpack" for about 2 months...Mommy likes her smaller purse!

Yes, I do cherish being able to carry around a smaller purse again!

We do the same thing! If we're going somewhere that my 2yo needs to bring things, she wears her zebra-print little backpack. She loves it!

I LOVE toddler backpacks and we have ones for our kids for similar reasons.

I just did the same thing with my 3.5 yo son. He loves it! He hasn't argued about wearing it, ever, even all day at the zoo, when it was 95 degrees, and 95% humidity.

That's great!!! My kids are always excited to wear their backpacks.

The girls also have great backpacks that travel with us everywhere. The pair fit perfectly between the carseats for easy reach during cartrips. The girls pack them full of toys and I add a few snacks. Presto - Mommy gets to talk to Daddy as well as the girls during the trip rather than having all of her mental energy concentrated on the backseat.

We were all looking forward to those being used for Kindergarten, but lo and behold, they HAVE to use tote bags! The reasoning is that zippers are too difficult for thier little fingers. WHAT!? We conquered zippers a few years ago. Oh well, who can't use another tote bag, right? :)

I've never heard of tote bags being used for Kindergarten, but the zipper
issue does make sense. We're pretty much mastered zippers here too.

My kids always wanted their own suitcases, backpacks etc.

The Elmo backpack is just adorable.
