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.

I am thinking buying A BABY carrier for my 9 month old, thinking of using it for awhile. What is the best one out there?
Answer
Ergo.
it's a soft front or back pack...the newer model can also be used on the hip.
it is ergonomically designed for the wearer and the rider.
wearer - wears like a back pack, sternum belt, wide shoulder straps, thick lumbar supportive waist strap.
rider - baby sits in a more natural position where his/her weight is distributed across the butt and thighs... does not hang by the crotch like bjorns/snuggli type carriers
it goes up to 40lbs... though that recommendation is for the comfort of the adult, not because the straps, fabric, buckles can't hold anymore... one picture on their website is a 100lb woman in it!! I still use mine for my 44lb 4 yr old on odd occassions like when we've been at the zoo or the flea market for too long and she's tired, it folds down pretty well and I tuck it at the bottom of my backpack when we're having a big excursion like that.

ETA... for kelty fans - I can't tell, does the child sit in it - like in a real sitting position like the Ergo??
