Baby Backpack CarrierA backpack baby carrier used to be reserved for the hiking trail. No longer. You'll find baby backpacks in shopping centers, in grocery stores, at family gatherings-literally anywhere you find babies. But, if you're a new parent, you might be wondering if a backpack is appropriate for you and your child. Of course, using a backpack represents an individual preference, but there are certain universal reasons for parents to use backpacks. Reasons to Use a Baby Backpack
There are a variety of rationales for using baby backpacks. For instance, backpacks are often favored by babies because they allow young ones to see a bit of the world. In other words, they can begin to see things from their parents' vantage point. In addition, backpacks allow parents to attend to chores, to other children, and to various other multi-tasking duties. In addition, backpacks are far more convenient than strollers when you have to traverse a large area. The Making of a Baby Backpack Baby backpacks
are really not all that different from the types of backpacks you would
use on a camping trip. However, instead of toting gear, you're carrying
your most prized possession. A baby backpack is supported by an aluminum
frame that can help to distribute your baby's weight evenly over your
shoulders and hips. You can carry your child on your back as soon as he
or she sits up-typically around five or six months of age. Before that
time, a front carrier is recommended. You can carry your child as long
as your back permits it-usually 40 pounds is about the limit. There is little doubt that it can take some time to become accustomed to a
baby backpack. You need to make sure that the backpack is adjusted in
such a way that baby's weight does not fall exclusively on your back.
Of course, there are some disadvantages to backpacks. For instance, it
can be difficult to remove your sleeping child without waking him or her.
Also, you won't be able to see your baby as you make your rounds about
town. In addition, backpacks can be bulky and difficult to take on and
off. Silver Streak The Chicco Silver Smart Support Backpack is available from stores that carry a variety of baby supplies, such as Target. This backpack is known for its lightweight aluminum frame and height-adjustable seat pad. In addition, the lumbar padding can lessen back and shoulder strain. The backpack also includes a removable canopy with a sun visor and a rain cover. For the ultimate in convenience, the backpack also offers a fanny pack and cell phone holder. Things to Consider There are a number of things you need to keep in mind when selecting a baby backpack carrier. For instance, you'll want to make sure the backpack is comfortable for both you and baby. Also, it is critically important that the backpack has a safety harness for your child. The backpack should be versatile and easy to use, as well as durable. Price might also be a consideration, since a baby backpack can cost anywhere from $30 to $100 or more.
