You could put on short straps and a removable long strap. If you don't have the hardware for the removable strap -- check old bags you no longer use -- you could have it button on and off with buttons on the bag and holes in the strap. As for size -- I wouldn't make it much smaller than you would for an adult. She may be smaller but little girls often have a lot of important stuff to haul around. Mine always did. Dorothy |

Dorothy, Thats a good idea about the straps. I've only met this little girl once, but I know your right about hauling their "important" stuff around. Thanks |

How funny, at least to me. A little girl 4 ft tall, I am 4 ft 10.
