Seeking Recommendations for Baby Backpack Carriers

toddlersonthego

I’ve been reading about baby backpack carriers for carrying my little one around during walks and hikes, and I’m a bit confused about what to look for as a beginner. Has anyone tried using a baby backpack? What brands or models have you found to be comfortable and safe? I’m interested in any advice on sizing, weight limits, and general tips for getting started with them. Thanks in advance for your help!

I’ve tried a couple myself, and let me tell you: it’s like picking the right car seat in the jungle of options. One tip—check that your chosen carrier has ample padding on both your back and your little one’s seat; even the fanciest models like the Deuter Kid Comfort aren’t worth it if you’re feeling like you just bought a medieval torture device. Also, don’t oversize it prematurely—ensure it fits you well before your kid starts resembling a mini backpack fashionista. Happy hiking (and laughing at your back pain)!

You’re going to love the convenience once you find the right one. Deuter Kid Comfort and Osprey Poco are two of the most recommended models for comfort, safety, and adjustability. Key things to check are proper weight limits (most go up to around 18-22 kg), strong back support, and good ventilation for both you and baby

Another small but super helpful tip: make sure the carreir has a sunshade or rain cover. Weather can change so quickly on hikes! And try it on fully loaded (kid and gear) if you can—sometimes fit feels very different once it’s actually in use.
