baby carrier backpack kelty image
Aghbaybay
Hello- I'm looking to start going on some hikes with my 6 month old daughter.
I've heard of using the soft backpack style ones like ERGO or BECO...but are the bigger ones like that look like a huge backpack and have metal on them and everything more comfortable??
Which kind is better? OR what other one do you recommend?
I have a pouch sling- but I don't think that would work that well.
Answer
I have a backpack carrier, it is one of the big ones with a metal frame, but it weighs almost nothing and is great for hiking. It is a Kelty brand and was one of my best purchases. I have a Bijorn and several slings, but for extended hiking I cannot carry in one of those.
Also, Maya is 3 and we can still carry her in the pack comfortably, which is nice. So, yes, they are MUCH more comfortable and I could even kind of forget she was up there.
Also, you can adjust the band that goes around your waist, so if you are feeling pressure in one part of your shoulders or back you pull a strap, and you can carry the weight totally differently.
If you do a lot of hiking then one of these is a must. Check Craigslist or local second hand stores as well. You can got one for $50 instead of $200. Babies r Us has them on display as well. You can put your daughter in it and try it on.

Suggestions for a baby/toddler backpack?
Silly Momm
My husband and I are planning on doing some camping/backpacking once the weather warms up (it's still snowing where we live and we're beginning to wonder what Spring is) and we are in need of a baby/toddler backpack. My son is 10 months old and weighs in at a nice, healthy 35 pounds so an INFANT carrier is out of the question. He is much to heavy for those. I am referring to the ones with a large frame that carry ~50 pounds or more. I have no idea what names are good and reliable and research I've done hasn't turned up very good answers. Anyone with a suggestion, please let me hear it! Thanks!

We have a Kelty Kids backpack. It is wonderful. It is quite comfortable to wear, easy to put on and my son loves being in it (he's 14 months and around 25-30lbs). We camp and it is a lifesaver --- we bought it to use in place of our Ergo carrier on long hikes/camping.
It is like this one:

We managed to find a gently used one on craiglist for about half of the new price.
