Suggestions for a baby/toddler backpack?




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!


Answer
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 know what the most comfortable BABY backpack carrier is?

Q.


Answer
Mobywraps are great. They hold the baby in the correct position and helps protect their spine. It's really comfortable to wear as well as it goes over both shoulders.

The Ergo is really great as well it holds baby in the same position as the Mobywrap but is a lot easier to get on without all the wrapping. It holds a baby up to 18kg (approx 40lbs). It's also really comfortable as it spreads the baby's weight over your hips and shoulders so your back doesn't feel the weight.
