mec baby backpack image
jveryrad
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!

Baby carrier my husband can use?
just a tho
Iâm looking for a carrier for my 5 month old (15 pounds) that will fit my husband. Heâs a fairly big guy â 5â9â and about 220 lbs (weâre both still trying to lose the baby weight!) I am thinking the Bjorn looks nice. I have an Ergo but it wonât fit, as far as I can tell (also I just donât care for the design of the Ergo; I hate how it clips behind the back). I also have a Moby Wrap but heâs unwilling to use that =) and weâre looking for something with more structure for a bigger baby.

I'm typing this with a baby sleeping on me in an Ergo; that strap thing drives me nuts, too. FWIW, I have had a lot of luck having the back clip together as low as possible -- which of course you can't reach putting it on unless the side straps are way let out. But if you do let the side straps way out each time, it's easy to do up at the back, and no big fuss to pull it snug again. Really an overrated carrier, but. That helped.
Don't get a Bjorn, at least not a regular Bjorn -- we liked it; it was a total cry-stopper in the early days and Daddy was a real fan of it -- but it's useless for a larger baby. Shoulder pain city.
(baby waking; will return)
They make a waist extension strap for the Ergo; I'd go that route. But here, Daddy chose a Maya Wrap after the Bjorn outgrew its usefulness.
A backpack frame carrier is often a nice choice for fathers. (Mine used one!) This sort of thing: http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441776409&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302735239&bmUID=1203110191936
