Best Backpack Baby Carriers

Best For: Baby

Babies and toddlers generally love backpack carriers. The high vantage point makes it fun, and being close to their parents makes it feel safe and secure. Backpack carriers are best suited for children over six months who have steady head and neck control and can sit independently. But even so, not all backpacks are created equal. Here are some things to consider when purchasing one.

What to look for

1. Design. You will want to think about what kind of backpack carrier best fits your needs. There are framed carriers, which are more cumbersome but also more durable and useful for hiking. There are also soft carriers, which often can be worn a variety of ways, but are less useful for sports.
2. Weight capacity. Check to see how much a carrier will hold. You don’t want to invest in a product that your baby will outgrow before she can enjoy it.
3. Quality. It’s important to get a well-made carrier. Choose a carrier that has an adequate safety harnesses, and always do research before buying second hand equipment.
