Toddlers are extremely busy little people.
You thought Oprah and the President and Donald Trump had a lot on their plates?
Compared to a toddler's jam-packed schedule of climbing, running, falling, grazing, running some more, building, crafting, painting, destroying, snuggling, cuddling, sampling things off the floor, tantruming, dancing, singing, shouting and catapulting off of the dog or a wayward little sister, running the country or making gobs and gobs of money just seems like, um, child's play.
And with all that endless activity comes an array of trappings, be it crayons and coloring books or dog-eared copies of Runaway Bunny and Dr. Suess' The Cat in the Hat or enough tea party flatware to serve the Queen of England or Thomas the Train and everyone else from the Island of Sodor, and frankly, keeping track of said necessities can be virtually impossible without a proper method of organization. 
Meet the Little Kid Backpack from Dante Beatrix, and your new foothold in the steep cliff of parental sanity that threatens to crumble into a fine, powdery rubble every time your almost-two-year-old realizes that their favorite whatever is either rolling around somewhere out of reach, say underneath the driver's seat in the car, or back home under a pile of couch cushions.
This dilly of a do-it-yourselfer for tots craving that me-do-it independence is perfectly sized for all the aforementioned accessories, and has one big opening allowing little hands to hunt for and gather whatever it is they need. The designs are adorable, pack in tons of kid appeal and give little ones plenty of options, including a Dino (shown at top left, $36), Penguin, Piggy, Shark, Lion, Bee, Bunny (shown at bottom right, $36), Polar Bear and Monkey.
The padded back and padded handles make for one cushy carrier, and the durable but extremely light exterior means that messes are a complete misnomer.
