Any suggestions for a backpack baby carrier?

I have a very active 15month old daughter. She likes to grab objects and destroy them. She is difficult to bring to a store. Yesterday, I had to hold her while shopping in hardware stores because she insisted on opening packages or bottles if I let her down. The shopping carts can be very dirty in a hardware store.

Does anyone use a backpack baby carrier for their toddlers for shopping? I don't do much hiking, and I use a stroller to take her on walks. So I would just use it to take her where I don't want her to run around.

Is it safe to get into? Is there a risk of dropping her while putting the backpack on? Any other uses for this? Any suggestions for brands? I heard Tough Traveler is good. Thanks.

Answer
I love my backpack for shopping, and I can still carry my soon to be 3 year old. This is the one I have http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441776409&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302735239&bmUID=1160421939450 . We bought it almost 5 years ago when our oldest was the right size for it. It still looks brand new. I used it for shopping and long walks, my husband uses it for hiking. Have fun!

What is a good backpack for 8 month old?

I'm looking for a good, comfy backpack for my 8 month old. Just to do some light walking/hiking in this fall/winter. I like the kind that the baby can see over your shoulders. I've heard Kelty Kids is a good brand, but sooo expensive!
The problem with soft carriers is that the baby usually sits right on your back, not up enough to see over your shoulders like ones with metal frames.

Answer
I had the Kelty, I got mine for about $70, but it was amazing, it honestly did not hurt my back at all and my daughter was 18 months when I used it (26lbs) I would highly recommend it, maybe you can see if someone is selling second hand in your area online (craigslist etc) or even at a second hand store. It was also great in the winter, putting her in that instead of trying to push a stroller through the snow, my daughter loved it!
