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.

Does anyone else ever put their baby on their back when they go jogging?

I see the carriers they make to do this but I never see anyone use them. I figure people have more than one kid so it would not be feasable.
I just wondered if I'm the only person consideing this.
Answer
I use a backpack carrier when hiking, I don't jog (since I was a teen *lol*, I was a long distance runner on the track team *lol*)
If the baby can sit well without support then any backpack carrier will do. If they aren't that developed then you need to take special care, generally you need to use a soft carrier (like a wrap) and swaddle the baby. Because of the stress it causes the hips its not recommended to use a swaddle board anymore.
PS Oi people using a proper baby carrier is incredibly comfortable for mom and baby, it does not stress mom's back. You can *easily* wear up to 20-30% of your bodyweight which for a 150lbs woman is 30-45lbs which is about a 2-4 year old.
And in case you haven't noticed babies like being bounced. Ever heard of the "colic drop", then there's all those bouncers and jumpers on the market. Daddy throwing the baby into the air, etc. I know lots of moms that end up on their yoga ball bouncing up and down vigorously to soothe a tiny baby, if jogging is your thing than go for it, its not like baby won't tell you if they don't enjoy it.
