She had a cute Tinkerbell tote that Grandma gave her Valentine's Day but after 1 trip to the library last night, its tearing. I want to get her a tote bag or backpack that she can use for trips to the library, day trips to my parents pool this summer,etc. I thought about getting one with her name on it (but read somewhere once that that is a bad idea because a stranger would know their name then?) Suggestions for where to get one online for a good price?
Mommy of 3!

Re: cute tote bag for Ava?
Katen has one of these Skip hop zoo packs. I think they're adorable!! There are several animals to choose from and I feel like they can grow with the kid for a while.

They're the same price pretty much everywhere and they carry them at creative kidstuff too.
That backpack has held up to abuse on the plane and gets played with daily. Both girls have been known to pull on it in separate directions and it looks brand new still. The pockets are very functional and it's just the right size for a toddler but not so small that you can't fit anything in it also. I really do love this pack and will probably get Ana one now too since I see they're down to $20 now.
