Whether you are going for a hike, a day at the park, or just a trip to the mall, baby backpack carriers provide the extra padded comfort, support and storage space to make your trips more enjoyable. Baby backpacks are also more durable than most other baby carriers.

The Basics:

Baby Backpack carriers are best suited for children over six months who have steady head and neck control and the confidence to sit relatively unsupported. Your child can weigh up to about 45lbs. That is probably all your back can handle as well.

The backpacks are framed with either a lightweight metal or plastic, similar to a regular backpack you would wear hiking or camping. They come with either a three point or five point harness for your child’s safety. They are also made with a breathable and washable fabric that comes in a variety of colors.

Many include include a weather canopy, storage compartments, toy loops, key chains, water bottle holders and more.

Things To Consider

You want your backpack to be very generously padded for comfort. Adjustable so it may fit more than one adult, who may be carrying the child. Consider whether or not you want your child to have a foot rest or have open footing. Does it come with a stand, that will make it easier to put on by yourself Make sure the adult height, waist, and torso ranges will fit the person who will wear it. They do vary. Check out the “extras”. Each manufacture and model have different amenities that will appeal to different people and don’t forget style. You have to look good wearing it don’t you?

Baby Bjorn Active Carrier



Baby Bjorn Active Carrier Whether it’s hiking in the woods or taking a trip to the city, the Baby Bjorn Active Carrier will get the job done.

It was developed especially for parents on the move as it features increased back and shoulder support. The Baby Bjorn carrier is great on the torso because it features wide, cushioned straps which distributes the weight evenly throughout the body.

One complaint about most versions of a baby carrier is that it hurts the body. Sliding lumbar support adjusts and also conforms to the torso. The Baby Bjorn active baby carrier grows with the baby as well thanks to the multi adjustable buckle. Its unique design allows breast feeding as well without removing the baby.

The Baby Bjorn Active Carrier is an award winning baby carrier which has one awards in England and throughout Europe.

Review

5.0 out of 5 stars
I registered for and eventually purchased for myself the Active Carrier. I love this carrier. With a bad back, I find the lumbar support VERY helpful. I do have to tighten it up, but is far from cutting off my breathing. My little girl loves riding in it too. She usually falls asleep within minutes of me putting her in it.

If you aren’t sure if you’ll like it, go to babies R’ us and see if they will let you try on the display model. They would at my store. LOL Throw in some heavy cans of liquid formula to see how it feels with weight. :)

Why I love this carrier:

1. I love giving my little girl kisses on her head when I am out running errands.
2. I love the attention she gets and the “oh isn’t that cute” when I have her in it, while at the same time I love the distance those people keep since she’s strapped to my chest (as opposed to my friend who has people leaning in on her stroller to get a closer look at the baby.) Ewww.
3. I love being able to use my arms when I shop or go out.
4. I don’t feel lop-sided like I do when I carry around a car carrier. (I hate seeing guys lug around infant car carriers while their wives follow behind them with the diaper bag. The baby jerks around in the carrier with each uncomfortable step his/her parent takes.)
5. I really don’t have any trouble sitting or even eating when I have the carrier on with her in it.
6. The lumbar support saves my back. I have degenerative disk disease and have had two herniated disks, but with this carrier, I have not had any problems even after a day at the mall (at least 3 hours of walking around with a 12 pound baby.)
7. It really is quite soothing to my little girl as she tends to sleep the entire time unless she’s hungry.

The only thing I don’t like about it is that it’s getting warmer outside and with the padding I get a little sweaty where the carrier sits (the small of my back and my shoulders.) :(
