Child back carriers have improved over the years as they have become increasingly aerodynamic, more aesthetically pleasing, and made of stronger, more durable material.
Children like to ride high and can sleep on your back, too, but there is no comfortable support for a sleeping child. Keep in mind that a 6-9 month old baby will get tired sooner than you. Child hip-seats are ’seats’ worn around the parents’ waist which the child then sits on. The parent still needs to hold the child, but the child’s weight is more evenly distributed over the body, saving your back whilst your child still gets a comfortable ride close to you. They can be useful for around the home but far less so when doing serious walking or activity
Child back carriers have come a long way since their infancy a decade ago. Not gone, but supplemented, are the primary-colored nylon rucksacks which made urban trekkers feel clumsy and out of place on path. Child back carriers have a sturdy metal frame and give your baby a good view of the world around him. A backpack can be a useful alternative to a double buggy , particularly if you go on lots of country walks where using a pushchair would give a very bumpy ride.
