Although many kids may opt for a children's backback when out and about, when it comes to chidren's travel accessories, Madonna's daughter Mercy likes to carry a handbag when she's in public.

The youngster has been pictured in the Daily Mail walking through New York with her mum and adoptive siblings Lourdes and David Banda.

Although it will soon be time to move to a spring and summer wardrobe, the four-year-old wrapped up warm in children's winter clothing, as temperatures have dropped as low as minus two degrees C in the Big Apple in recent days.

Looking happy and relaxed as she was guided through the streets of the city by the pop star's bodyguards, Mercy sported a white hat, black military-style jacket and white tights.

Meanwhile, 13-year-old Lourdes proved she has grown out of children's winter clothing, going for a biker chick look in torn stripy tights, leather jacket and black boots.

The family are regularly pictured out and about - last year Mercy and David were featured on the Celebrity Baby Blog enjoying a happy moment in Paris during their mother's Sticky and Sweet concert tour.ADNFCR-3005-ID-19628266-ADNFCR
