Backpack for a 2-year-old?

Generally, a 2-year-old is not expected to carry their own backpack. At this age, children haven't fully developed balance and coordination, so extra weight on their back can increase the fall risk.
A small backpack the child carries while with parents can be practical — it can hold spare clothes, diapers, wipes, and snacks. If one is bought for the child's use, it should be empty or very light, have chest straps (clips), and shoulder strap length suited to the child's height. Pediatric guidance does not recommend regular backpack use before ages 3-4.
