I ordered it for my son almost 3 years because it does not like to hold hands. This makes sure it does not go very far short. The bag is very cute even if the bag is small. It is primarily a harness. I put the little blanket my son and sucks. I advise to carry the bag with the giraffe in front rather than in back, like that the child can hold her in his arms like a security blanket, it's more fun. My son loves to wear it like that.
