Overall I'm against pageants all-together (child or otherwise). I think they reinforce the idea that women deserve things based primarily on their physical appearance.
I'm not a fan of putting your kid in a lot of activities anyway (one or two tops, especially if they're young), but I personally would want my kids in something I feel is more substantial- along the lines of music lessons or martial arts.. something they can grow with the rest of their life if they enjoy it.
I question how a 3 year old girl can become interested in participating in pageants in the first place, but if the kid wants to do it, and the parents feel it's okay, that's their choice.
