Nick Jr. Dora the Explorer Purple Plush Rescue Backpack

I got this a year ago for my then 2-year old daughter to use as a carry-on when we were going on an international flight. I looked all over for a cute backpack that would be comfortable for a little girl to carry. Most of the bags I saw were too big or too stiff - but this was was just right for her! It was the perfect size for her crayons, a mini-coloring book (not a full-size one though) a few small toys plus a cup in the side pocket. I could have even fit a diaper and wipes in there but I didn't want it to get too heavy for her. It would have been great if only I hadn't left it in my dad's car when I got to the airport! It has gotten lots of use since then both as a toy for make-believe dress-up and as a very convenient catch all when we're going out. I highly recommend this toy/bag for anyone with a little Dora fan!

My daughter is a big Dora fan and uses this backpack to carry around her favorite toys and books, which is why I gave it 5 stars for educational value. My friend's daughter has it as well, and love hers too. We've had it 6 months now and it's holding up just fine. The map opens up for an added bonus. My daughter likes to wear it and sing the backpack song from the show.

this backpack is excatly what it says it is a backpack. With the backpack it has two side pockets. One of which holds the map, that is attached to a string for safe keeping. And the map opens up with a game inside. And the actual flap for the backpack has a magnet to open and close the backpack. My 2 1/2 daughter has enjoyed this backpack and the map attached. And has fun storing her other dora toys inside it for safe keeping. Over all this is truly a backpack that is very durable and fun.
