Personally, I don't like accounts that you can't touch. I'd just invest in an account you can use for other things and take the tax hit as the cost to have flexibility.

Imagine she gets a scholarship somewhere and doesn't need the money or has TOPS, etc. I'd rather have the money available for a variety of uses rather than having it locked in an education specific fund (unless you feel like it is easier to not spend the money by having it inaccessible- in that case, go for it).

We have it for my daughter. I chose four vanguard funds. Small, mid, large, and international. In ten years or so ill put a bond fund in the mix. I v think it's great. We put 100 a month in and a 1000 lump sum once a year. Performance has been solid so far, as would ve expected since my daughter is only 2. There are other ways to go aside from the vanguard funds but i know little about them. Also depending on your household income. They match a little at the end of the year.
