baby carrier backpack kelty image
NONAME
What kind of carrier do you use? I have a Baby Bjorn carrier for my son but he is almost 20lbs almost getting to be too big for it. So what kind of carrier is good for a heavier baby? I have a Kelty backpack carrier and I just can't get it to feel right. So I am looking for something that is easy for me to wear and comfortable for the both of us. Any recommendations?
Answer
A good friend of mine who is very thrifty recommended the Ergo to me, she said it was the one expensive baby item that she bought, and that it was worth every penny. So I ponied up the 115.00$ for one, and I'll tell anyone who'll listen it is the best carrier out there.
I also like my Moby but I have a hard time getting it on. and to stay put once I have it on.

I'm looking for a hiking baby carrier?

My daughter is 13 months - 22 lbs and still isn't walking. But, my husband and I love to hike. We are looking for a good/inexpensive hiking baby carrier. Preferably one for the back. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Answer
We had a Kelty Pathfinder Carrier that we got at REI eons ago. We loved that in addition to being adjustable for the child, it was really easy to switch the torso length of the backpack so my husband and i could trade off carrying. Walk around a store with your child in tow and see how it feels. A padded hipbelt and auto kickstand are must-haves, but other features we liked were the removable/easily foldable sunshade (great for wind and minor drizzle too), a padded front bar - you'd be amazed how easily your child will sleep back there, zippered pockets on the belt and shoulder straps so we could easily access items on the trail without removing the backpack (snacks, gps, phone), The zip off backpack for storage worked great so when we were hiking together we could each carry some of the load, but if either of us was hiking alone with the child (or the other one was carrying gear as we backpacked) we could have the essentials (diaper, change of clothes, food, first aid kit) with the baby. I'd search Craigslist for a good one at a discount rather than buy a new one that has less features or is cheaper.
Hints: A small hand mirror in the front hipbelt is great for checking on the baby while hiking (Is she still wearing her hat? Is she sleeping?) Sometimes you want the sunshade as a barrier to prevent hair pulling... if your little lady is anything like my second (not a problem with my first).
