I tried to find some on the smaller size for you. I also can't really see the straps. Maybe you can find better pics of them.


EDIT:: This one seems to have pretty good padding.

Thank you Tim,
I just went on to Amazon..after I posted(i totally forgot about this site and Kylee has a $30 gift card from Christmas) and found this one..
http://www.amazon.com/Disney-Minnie-Mouse-Toddler-Backpack/dp/B004BHXBPE/ref=pd_cp_ba_1

I wrote and asked about the zipper. I do like the Princesses too. I'm going to write and ask them too. I really like the first one. They do say padded shoulder and back..which I need since she has to wear it for so long, but not one says about the zipper. I need it to close on the right side..since her tube comes out that way. Oh...I am looking for about 12in length.

 

[Mom2mitokids]

I found a few on Amazon...but I know there are a lot of particulars that she needs to hold her pump...you may want to research here a bit.

Look here...not sure how padded the straps are, but maybe you can figure a way to add some extra padding...

Can't tell how big this one is...

Or something here, maybe? Scroll down the page a bit.

Wow! You guys are good. The first Princess back pack looks perfect. Looks to have everything we need. Thank you for posting these links. Ugh...just went back and looked and it's 15.5in tall and 12in wide. I had it backwards. It's a little too big.

Try searching for "Disney toddler backpack" on amazon. That seems to be the closer to the size you need. I'm sorry this is so hard to find!

 

[mommy2mrb]

sorry, your having problems finding a backpack, did you try craigslist? or your local goodwill, etc?

 

[tinytreasures]

Hope you find her something soon. Did you check the luggage area in Target. They have some cute backpacks there at my local store.

Yesterday we had 4 awesome Big Gives. I can not tell you...all the stress I had is gone. I can see my kids going and having fun instead of stressing about money. Last night I was in the shower crying thinking of all the generosity of strangers doing what they are doing making Make A Wish families feel so special. Thank you

First Big Give was from The Laxtons

What can it be???

A Generous Gift Card to use anywhere at Disney!!!

Thank you Laxton Family. Like I posted above..My kids can now have fun and now many more yes than no.

 

[Mom2mitokids]

Second Big Give was from Robert and Michelle(no disname).

What can it be????

Reading the card to everyone..

Two Visa Gift cards!!! Some reason the picture I took was all blurry, so I had Korissa take another before she went to bed.

Thank you Robert and Cheryl. Like I posted above in the first post.. We will have a lot of yes instead of no. Thank you so much to make this possible for our family.

 

[Mom2mitokids]

Third Big Give was from Lori and Mark (disname..I believe..loritemp)

Steven opening up the gift...

Shirts for Kyra and Steven

Kyra got a Minnie mouse shirt

Steven got a Cars shirt

Thank you Lori and Mark. Steven and Kyra both loved them. They are trying to decide which park to wear these. Steven most likely will wear his to DHS..since Cars is there.

 

[Mom2mitokids]

How can you tell the person thank you that is making my daughters wish come true. A little back ground...Korissa main wish was to go swimming with the Dolphins and go to Disney World, but mainly..to stay at GKTW. We were told that it was the swimming with the Dolphins or Disney World. If Korissa choose the Dolphins it was a 4 day trip that included the Discovery Cove, Sea World and Busch Gardens(Disney World you get Sea World and GKTW offers Busch Garden tickets). We would not be able to stay at GKTW. Everyone know what Disney World you get. Mainly staying at GKTW. Korissa is an animal lover and wants to do something with Dolphins or some type of animal rescue. It took her a week to decide..going back and forwoth looking on the internet. It was such a hard choice, but she really wanted to stay at GKTW, so so choosed the Disney World.

This true angel from Big Give read on Korissa's PTR that was her main wish and she and her husband granted this wish to her. This angel of ours is Gail. We have talked everyday and I even had the pleasure to talk with her on the phone. She is forever part of our family.

Korissa, Kyra, and Ashlee will be swimming with the dolphins and Scott, Steven, Kylee, and I will be doing the resort fun. This is swimming with the Sting Rays, Snorkeling in the reef cove, and the bird aviary. The Best...watching the girls have fun and seeing Korissa's wish come true. How can you say thank you to someone that just put a huge smile from ear to ear.

Not only did Gail pay for the Discovery Cove for the family...she got them a Camera, 2 SD cards, and a unique case that you can put the camera in so it becomes water proof. It's called DiCAPac. Now the girls can take pictures under water.


Video of Korissa reading the card.. hit picture to play....

Gail also sent a video for the kids. Steven and Kylee watched it yesterday and loved it.

Gail...as I said before..words can not say enough for what you did for my family. I hope one day we can meet so I can give you a real hug. Thank you so much. We will all treasure this experience forever. We will be sending you many pictures.

 

[ellenbenny]

I can honestly say that I have tears in my eyes after reading what Gail has done for your family. You all deserve it so much, and Gail is an amazing person for making it happen!!

 

[p00h4me]

Wow! What a day for Big Gives! Loved all the gift cards and shirts too. Such generosity will make your trip more enjoyable and memorable.

Thanks Kris for posting the video of the children! We both enjoyed seeing and hearing the excitement from them. Have a lot of fun on Korissa's wish trip! Take lots of pictures and videos! My husband said to tell the girls not to eat tuna before they get a kiss from the dolphin! Give the children our love and tell them they are welcome!

 

[brookerene]

Wow how awesome !!!! Thank you to Gail and Family from all of us Wish families.... God's grace and love are shown through people like you....I'm sure Korissa and her family will NEVER forget it!

Korissa, I hope that all your wishes are better than you could imagine... that goes for all the wish kids and their families...

 

[brookerene]

PS I love the Cars shirt!

 

[tinytreasures]

tears running down my face

 

[wishin' on a star]

Tears were streaming down my face as I read how generous Gail was to give that gift to your family. How awesome. We also had a very special angel who did some things that made Catherines trip extra special. Words cannot describe how grateful we are when others are so generous to strangers.

 

[4monkeys]

Awesome BIG GIVES and pictures. They BIG GIVERS continue to amaze me how much they do to help wish families! The magic. They share can be felt! GOD BLESS THEM AND ALL THE WISH FAMILIES!

Why oh why is it hard to find a small(about 12in) Princess(or any girly Disney theme) backpack that has 2 way zipper and padded shoulders and back. I have looked everywhere. Target, Walmart, ebay..ect. Watch...the minute we get back..I'll find tons of them. Kylee only has her Hello Kitty back pack that I found with everything we need, but is falling apart as she has had it for a year and wearing it 8 hours plus a day will do that. Does anyone have any other place that might have something.

Can you not get one of the special backpacks for enteral feeding, through the company you got your pump from? I'm not sure what kind of pump you have, but I know there are mini backpacks for both the Kangaroo Joey and the Infinity pumps. We got one for Peanut, which is pink and it works awesome. It was made for her feeding pump, so there is a special spot for the pump, one to clip her feeding bag on to, a front pouch that opens so you can adjust the pump and not have to open the whole bag, its nice a small with padded shoulders and back too. There is a special hole on the bottom for the tubing to go through, and a double zipper if you'd rather use that. There is even a chest clip (mind you we don't use that much because it pushed on her port and hurts her). It looks like a normal backpack, which is nice because I didn't want something that looked medical. It wasn't cheap (I think it was 120$ ), but it was worth the investment.

This is the one we have, but ours pink.

 

[Mom2Miracles]

Amazing!!! I just love seeing how complete strangers reach out to help others. Its a true testiment to the fact that there really are still good people in the world. Enjoy every second of it all!!!

PS. Love the Minnie shirt, I saw it on Disney.com and wanted to buy it for myself.
