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.

Do baby backpack carriers hurt your back?

Theres alot of trails around my new house and I want to do lots of walking/hiking with my 9 month old baby. I've been thinking a backpack carrier would be nice, but do they hurt your back?
would it be worth getting one?
Answer
Baby backpack carriers can hurt your back especially if your baby is very heavy. I think at 9 months your baby may be too big to carry on your back and may not fit into most back carriers. However, if you have a small baby, you may be able to do this. Your baby will be walking soon and not want to be carried on your back so you may only use the back pack carrier for a couple of months. In my opinion, I don't think it would be worth getting one at this point.
