Kid Carrier Backpack Buying Guide

By: Jet Lee
 

Child carrier backpacks come in a lot of different sizes, configurations, and colors. Do not choose one based on looks alone, however. Most manufacturers use color to differentiate models and the child carrier backpack you find most attractive may not have the features or comfort you need for long-term use.
Determine if a child carrier backpack will work for baby

Manufacturers design child carrier backpacks for children who can sit up unassisted and hold their head upright for long periods of time, from roughly 6 months old to 5 years old. Young babies may not have the head control they need to sit in a child carrier backpack until they get older. Consult with your pediatrician before placing your young baby in a child carrier backpack.
Look at child carrier backpack weight capacity

Determine how much weight you want to carry before you buy. All child carrier backpacks have a maximum weight capacity that includes the weight of the backpack frame, your child, and any additional gear you decide to carry. Just because a child carrier backpack can haul up to 70 pounds doesn't mean you want to carry 70 pounds. In this case, you'll probably be happier with a less expensive backpack that can hold up to 50 or 60 pounds.

Child carrier backpack specifications in item listings will list overall weight, child weight capacity, and maximum load weight. If you need more information, email the seller by clicking the “Ask seller a question” link under their profile.
Fit the child carrier backpack to your body

Manufacturers optimize child carrier backpacks by height range. Measure your height and torso length as well as the height and torso length of anyone else who will carry the backpack on a regular basis. Make sure everyone meets the child carrier backpack manufacturer's height or torso length requirements before you buy.
Find the right child carrier backpack features

Convenient child carrier backpack features make it easy to leave your diaper bag at home.

* Storage compartments: Look for additional child carrier backpack storage compartments and pockets to carry bottles, snacks, diapers, and toys.


* Changing pads: Choose a child carrier backpack with a changing pad or buy a small portable changing pad so that you can diaper your baby anywhere.

* Rain/sun hoods: Buy a rain/sun hood to protect your child from the elements, especially if your child has a tendency to take off his or her hat.

Babies often like to throw objects from the child carrier backpack. In order to prevent games of fetch, buy links to attach toys to the child carrier backpack, and a pacifier holder to secure pacifiers and hats.
