Best Baby Backpacks

Boba is a Soft Structured baby carrier (SSC) that is intended for children between 15 to 45 lbs. Boba has a few extra inches of height to keep your center of gravity closer to your body and support your little one’s back.

The innovative thing about the Boba carrier is that there are foot straps attached to the waist belt for the child’s feet to sit in enabling a healthy sitting position for the child.

The footstraps not only give little tired legs a rest, but support the legs in a flexed abducted (froglike) position which naturally tilts the pelvis, fills out the hip sockets, and aligns the spine.

Boba Classic features:

• Made with 100% natural brushed cotton
• Made in China
• Features our patent-pending, removable foot straps
• Includes a matching, removable sleeping hood
• Has military grade buckle on waist band
• Contoured waist band for extra comfort
• Has a high back panel for safety and support
• Fully adjustable shoulder straps and waist band
• Available in six earth-inspired colors: Glacier, Mist, Breeze, Dusk, Earth and Twilight
• One Size

Can’t leave home (or stay home) without it!, April 6, 2011

My husband and I love the Boba… oh, and my 10 month old daughter loves the Boba too! I may not have purchased this if I hadn’t gotten it on sale but I’d purchase it for full price (or more) again in a heartbeat and have contemplated buying a second. We had a Jeep baby carrier for when our daughter was little. My husband loved it but I could never get comfortable carrying her for long. At 20lbs she had grown past the point where either of us could use it so, after some research, I decided to give Boba a try. I am not disappointed! I was worried that my active and inquisitive (read: downright nosy) daughter would want to be facing out but several places recommended this isn’t the best for their physical development. I didn’t need to worry. The first time we put her in it (on the front) she settled in and fell asleep! After a week, when she saw the Boba she’d instantly start to relax and “help” me get her into it. After a month, I could say “is it Boba time?” and get comforting coos even at the fussiest time. Amazing how this simple carrier could have that affect. 

This carrier is easily adaptable to both my 5’7″ 140lb frame and my husband’s 6’4′ 180lb frame. The color is fresh and blends well. Neither of us have any problem loading her in the front alone. I was able to master the back load by myself the very first time I tried it (after watching the videos on the Boba website, [...]). My husband hasn’t tried this alone yet but it’s not really necessary at her age. 

The sleeping hood has come in handy though, like other reviewers note, our daughter doesn’t often want it up before she falls asleep. It’s easy enough to unroll after she falls asleep, roll back up after, or leave hanging for a bit. The whole carrier is easy to stash in a car or a suitcase for travel. 

Best of all, it’s comfortable to carry her! We find ourselves using the Boba in places where we previously used a stroller (for example, the aquarium where she was then at eye level with the fish). And that’s in addition to me using it at home while I clean things up around the house (note: I don’t “wear” my baby all day or even every day but when I need to or she wants to, I don’t hesitate to whip this carrier out). There is plenty of room for growth and I imagine this carrier will be comfortable even as she gets older because it’s so easy to adjust. 

On the issue of the foot straps. We have used them but don’t really need to yet. Those reviewers who complain that they’re useless may not be reading the instructions. The foot straps aren’t really needed until your child gets a little older. In the meantime, they’re easily removable if you feel you need to (we just leave ours on). 

Don’t hesitate! Buy this carrier. You’ll love it as much as we do… and will hopefully use it for a long time.

Love this carrier! It’s super comfortable and so much quicker to get into and out of than the wrap I was using before. My 7 month old who is not a snuggler at all, just cuddles right in and sleeps on me when we’re out running errands. It distributes his weight all across my back and hips making it easy to carry him for hours with no discomfort. My 40 pound three-year-old also fits comfortably in the carrier on my back. I also appreciate that Boba is made in the USA, unlike Ergo which is made in China, and the design is much more attractive.

I am SO happy with this purchase! I have used the Boba with my 8 month old as well as with my 3 1/2 year old and it works wonderfully with both. It is very easy to use, I can use it, by myself, front or back with both children. The only difficulty is attaching the hood when my baby falls asleep on my back. The belt is wide and distributes the weight wonderfully. The carrier is about 2 inches taller than the Ergo, so it will last longer as the kids grow. You can store the hood tidily so you don’t look so frumpy with all the strings and things hanging around as with the Ergo. I would reccomend the Boba carrier to any parents.

The Pikkolo by CatBird Baby represents the height of carrier flexibility. You can completely customize it to meet you and your baby’s ever-changing needs over time, and use it in a myriad of positions.

• Do you like the closeness of an unpadded apron-style waistband with your little baby in a front carry, but need more padding once baby gets heavier and moves to your back? No problem, add the Babywearing Support Belt to your Pikkolo when you need it.
• Want to cross the straps at your back? Great, go ahead!
• Hip carry? No problem.
• Need to make the carrier body narrower for a very small or a front-facing baby? Cinch it!
• Prefer a shorter carrier for smaller babies? You’ve got it. Then, when baby gets taller, unfold the bottom of the Pikkolo carrier and add the Babywearing Support Belt for several extra inches in carrier body height

I absolutely LOVE this pack! I’ve had it for just over a month now, and it gets used every day. Sometimes multiple times during the day. Learning to use it can be a bit complicated, but it’s not difficult once you get it down. My 3 month old hates being in his stroller or car seat, so I carry this pack with me everywhere. It’s his main mode of transportation when he’s not in the car. Originally I was given a Jeep front carrier, but that hurt my back and shoulders. I’ve had two back surgeries and deal with a lot of back pain already. This carrier has the hip belt, which is a must for me. It’s much better on your back and shoulders. Plus, I like the fact there is nothing between me and him. He is securely held in waist belt, and then pressed up against me. Since my son always falls asleep in his carrier (front carry, facing in), it makes it easy to remove the pack after we get home. I can even just lay down on the sofa, unbuckle and slide out everything, and then he can nap right there with me!He isn’t quite big enough for the back carry yet, but I have practiced putting the carrier on that way. It is a little more complicated than some, again, but not hard to figure out. I love the fact that this can be used in so many ways- front facing in, front facing out, hip carry, and back carry. And since it holds a baby up to 40 pounds, there won’t be any need for me to look into a new carrier over the years. It is well worth the money.

This review is from: Pikkolo Soft Structured Baby Carrier (Baby Product)

I am so pleased with this carrier. I spent an hour in the sling store, going back and forth with my 5-month old baby between this and an Ergo carrier. In the end I went with the Pikkolo because it was more comfortable to me, you could wear baby front facing out (cannot do this in an Ergo), front facing in, hip and back. I also found the carrier body to be short on the Ergo and my baby’s legs seemed to be sort of sticking straight out, rather than appearing seated as they do in the Pikkolo. I like that you can narrow the leg area to get a comfortable seated position for your little one.I’d been using a Moby Wrap but it was getting too hot in the Texas heat, and my son was too heavy (18 lbs!) for me to carry him in the Bjorn Active anymore. I wanted a soft-structured carrier that would get me through toddlerhood and this one fits the bill. I use it at the grocery store, Target, running just about any errand. I can put it on right there in the parking lot quickly and my baby really loves it. All in all a great carrier and well worth the money in my opinion. I got the Mocca Rouge fabric and it is adorable to boot.

This review is from: Pikkolo Soft Structured Baby Carrier (Baby Product)

Baby wraps are great if you have the time to deal with loose straps and are comfortable with a greater learning curve, but I needed something with simple buckles and adjustable straps that wouldn’t hurt my back after wearing it all day. Prior to the Pikkolo, I had a Peanut Shell sling (which is very easy, but hurt my back) and an Infantino soft structure carrier (hurt my back AND had straps that easily tangled). I’d also tried the Becco Butterfly to determine what works best for me.

The Pikkolo is structured the same as the Mei Tei wrap (both made by Cat Bird Baby), but the Pikkolo has easy buckles and straps for us moms who need the ease of using a carrier. I chose the Pikkolo over the Becco because of the carrying options- front, back, outward facing & hip.

The Pikkolo doesn’t hurt my back, I have ease of use without any additional help (a must for a single parent!), and it has versatile carries which will come in handy as my son grows.

No fuss, bulk, or back strain! This phil&teds backpack carrier is more comfortable and compact than others we tested…and an outstanding value, too. Everything adjusts for a custom fit: the hip strap (for better lumbar support), the back straps (to match your torso length), even baby’s seat height (for grow-with-me comfort). And wow: the sun canopy, changing pad, and wind and rain cover are included, so there’s nothing else to buy.

Pros: Relatively inexpensive, good material, sturdy build.

Cons: None

Overall: We’ve had this carrier for the past 6 months and we literally take it everywhere. There is a good amount of support for both the baby and the parent. For the parent (me) there are various harnesses which ensure that the pack sits comfortably against my back and does not move around much. For our baby the seat is very comfortable. It’s useful for places where the pram really is a nuisance. For example when we catch a train and or go shopping or even for extended walks.

I might even consider purchasing the Escape now after having used this for some time.

Pros: WE LOVE THIS CARRIER!! It is so small and compact. Easy to load the child.

Cons: There is very little storage space.

Overall: So handy. Fold flat – great for overhead luggage in a plane. Our daughter sleeps beautifully in the carrier. I love that it can take very young babies. The shade and rain covers are excellent. Our daughter is very small for her age and I tend to get quite tired carrying her. I am not sure how a particularly heavy child would go.

For Longer-Lasting Adventures! Designed in Italy, the Chico Smart Support Backpack has a height adjustable seat to give your child the perfect ride.

Why’d we choose the Chico Smart Support backpack? Because it’s very comfortable, easy to use, includes all the accessories — and outstanding value! Ergonomically designed to protect your shoulders and back, with an energy-absorbing lumbar support and lightweight aluminum frame.

The energy-absorbing lumbar padding and padded straps in breathable mesh ease strain and keep you cool Plus, it includes a canopy, sun visor, and zip-on rain cover, so you don’t need to buy a separate weather shield.

The Caddy Knapsack has a new design with innovative functional features. It is designed to give maximum carrying comfort for parents and children. The special structure of the ergonomic backrest offers an optimum child weight distribution and perfect ventilation. Comes supplied with a standard bag /

This review is from: Chicco Smart Support Back Pack, Navy (Baby Product)

I have been wanting a backpack carrier for some time – one with a metal stand so it would be easier to get my son in and out of. I finally broke down and bought a new one after not being able to find a used one. I purchased this one because it seemed to be reasonably priced and it got good reviews. I was a little nervous about it since some of the people that were petite said that it didn’t fit them and that it was too big. I’m 4’11″ and it fits me just fine so I am not sure what they are talking about. I also didn’t have any problems with it being too tight in the chest area too and I would say I’m a pretty average size. Some of the reviews said that they need someone else to help them with the metal stand – I have not experienced that either. My son is almost 17 months old and he is about 25 pounds and I can take him off of my back and open up the stand by myself. It takes a bit of practice and some upper body strength but after carrying around a child in my arms for over 16 months I would say that I’ve built up my strength to handle an extra 5 or 6 pounds that comes from the carrier. Right now I’m just starting off on short walks around the neighborhood – it does take a while to build up your muscles but it is comfortable and works great for me. I love that it comes with the sun shade and the pockets that attach to it as well. Overall I’m happy with my purchase and can’t wait to hit the trails and lose this baby weight!

This review is from: Chicco Smart Support Backpack, Red (Baby Product)

I looked at many packs before deciding on this one. I was hesitant at frist due to some of the reviews saying it was uncomfortable. Well it was at first. Then I adjusted ALL the straps while wearing it of course, including the shoulder straps and now it fits perfectly. Snug against my torso just like a regular hiking pack.

Love all the little accessories, too!

With an innovative design and fresh, modern style, the kokopax classic carrier (bubbles) is the ideal baby carrier for everyday use. Unlike other carriers, it positions babies at eye-level so they have a 360 degree world view. The comfortable shoulder straps and padded waist support leave your hands free, while the lightweight, adjustable frame and five-point harness make taking walks safe and secure. A handy kickstand makes it easy to use. Suitable for babies aged six months up to two years (or 35 pounds), the kokopax classic carrier (bubbles) accommodates your growing baby.

Comfortable to Wear; Safe for Hands-free Use
For daily adventures and special outings, the classic carrier features comfortable shoulder straps, padded waist support, and an adjustable frame that provides a custom fit. The ergonomic design distributes weight evenly across your back, chest, and shoulders, so you can keep both hands free while carrying your baby. A five-point safety harness provides additional security. This carrier is certified by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA), conforming to its standards for child carriers.

Made with anodized aluminum, the carrier’s frame provides strength and durability while weighing approximately three pounds. So whether you’re running quick errands or taking a leisurely hike, the carrier allows you and your child to be together comfortably and safely.

Portable, Compact, and Easy to Use
The classic carrier is designed with a sturdy kickstand, so you can rest it securely on the floor. This convenient feature makes it easy to load or remove a child from the carrier. And the portable, compact design allows you to store it in airplane overhead bins, making it ideal for traveling.

Made from 100% Cotton
Made from 100% cotton canvas, the classic carrier’s fabric feels soft on your baby’s skin. On warm days or during long outings, the breathable cotton allows for air circulation and provides a comfortable experience. The stylish fabric pattern looks fresh and modern while coordinating with other kokopax products, such as the Savannah Sun Hat.

Useful Details and Fun Accessories
Great for storing snacks, keys, and a diaper, the classic carrier features a convenient storage pocket with a secure button closure. It also comes with a carry bag for easy travel. For long walks and outings, you can fasten favorite toys to the handy toy ring.

The optional pax protector (sold separately) is a cloth made from machine-washable, organic cotton that provides a soft resting spot for your baby’s face. Designed to attach easily using straps, it keeps the carrier fresh and clean.

Accommodates Infants and Toddlers
The versatile classic carrier can be used for children from six months up to two years (or 35 pounds), so you can use it from the infant stage through the toddler years.

About kokopax: Fresh, Modern Style
kokopax was founded in 2007 by Sarah Spoor, a busy mother of four young children. Sarah’s is a classic tale of borrowing tips and tools from earlier generations and shaping them to fit our modern world. Using this method, Sarah re-imagined the lightweight carriers that her own parents used when she was a young child.

Combining contemporary materials such as anodized aluminum and fresh, bright patterns, the signature kokopax carrier line introduces a new generation of parents and caregivers to a comfortable, safe way to carry children. Kokopax also offers stylish totes, sunhats, and organic accessories that feature the same modern prints and patterns.

 See what others are saying about this carrier:

By J.Turner,

Little background: I am 5’2″ and 110, my husband is 6’3″ and just over 200 lb., and we both like this carrier, which is almost unheard of. Our son is just barely 6 mos. old, 18 lbs., and about 27 in. 
PROS: MUCH more comfortable for both child and adult than other carriers (we owned several, and tried them all), as child’s weight is more evenly distributed. 5 point harness keeps Houdinis where they should be. Child’s arms and hands are free to move around. Good view of the world for little one. Easy in and out– not a million straps and buckles, as with other carriers. Child can “support” their own weight w/ their feet on the frame of the carrier (watch the video– you will see the baby “bouncing” with his feet on the carrier frame in one clip). So much more interesting and normal for baby than simply hanging from their crotch (again, as with other carriers). Able to take this many places where stroller is simply not realistic (like cobblestone streets, narrow aisles, or where navigating through crowds is difficult). 
CONS: Not for smaller babies (<6 mos.). Child really does need to be at least 25 in. (and weight appropriate) and have excellent head/trunk control. Requires some upper-body strength to get it on as manufacturer suggests (should not be placed on an elevated surface to put on). I am a very athletic female and have no issues, but I question how well the “average” woman could do it without using an elevated surface (for my husband, this is a moot point– no issues). Wish it was a little bit more adjustable– there are three “snap” levels for lumbar support, but at the smallest setting, I still wish it would ride a little higher for me (I’m a mere 5’2″). Again, my husband has no issues– he uses the tallest setting, and he is 6’3″. No comfortable head position for child if they fall asleep in the carrier (this is true of all outward-facing carriers, but perhaps someday someone will rectify this?). 

All in all, we like this carrier a lot. More expensive than most carriers, but often you get what you pay for. Nice fun prints too, but remember if you want your hubby to help carry baby, you might want a more neutral one (we have the brown “bubbles” and my Marine has yet to complain). Remember that regardless of how great the support is, carrying an extra 20-35 lbs. on your back is going to take a little more out of you, so people w/ extra large children (close to 30 lb. weight limit) shoudln’t place their expectations on comfort too high. If you are extremely petite (under 5′) or very lacking in upper body strength, this may not be the carrier for you, but it beats all the others we have owned and tried hands down! 

By Xan77 Xan77,

We absolutely love this carrier. My son LOVES how high up on my back it places him and I love how easy it is to put him in and out of. Unlike other back carriers where it feels like a huge production to put the baby on backwards, this thing is just too easy. It’s awesome and really adorable. My son is super heavy and most carriers just killed my back after only 15 minutes. This thing is so padded and ergonomic that I could easily wear him for over an hour. Get it, you won’t regret it. Oh and I had originally purchased the city carrier just to save some money. When I realized how much I liked it, I sent it back for the Classic carrier because I figured the fabric would be better and it is. The city version’s fabric made weird squeaky noises when you walked which were kind of annoying. Also, the buckle placement seemed a little inconvenient and once I got the Classic version I was glad I did. It’s definitely roomier (which is great for a big baby) and I like the fabric a lot better.

By J.Tucker,

 I have a 2 1/2 year old, a 17 month old, and am 24 weeks pregnant. My oldest son’s preschool has a very narrow entrance so getting a stroller in is not an option. This lightweight baby carrier is not only stylish, but also has a very small footprint. So now morning management of my 17 month old is a breeze. If only I could figure out how to do drop-off with three children.

How to Safely Use Your Baby Carrier

Section One: Research on babywearing injuries

First, choose a safe carrier.

• The Baby Bjorn Active carrier, which was just recently introduced and even pricier than the Original, was found to have a defective buckle. You can find out if your Bjorn was recalled on their website: http://www.babybjorn.com. The company will replace the buckle for you, if requested.

• Maya Wrap used 1/8 inch thick sling rings on some of their baby slings in 2001, which resulted in 20 reports of the rings breaking and one fall, with no reported injuries. These slings were recalled and the company now uses 1/4 inch thick sling rings exclusively. 

The lessons here are:

Second, check the condition of your carrier regularly.

Third, learn how to use your carrier.

Fourth, be sure your baby can breathe properly.

Section Two: Practice

Section Three: Potentially dangerous
activities to avoid

Please exercise common sense when using your carrier and remember that you are the only one responsible for your baby’s immediate safety!

BEWARE OF:

A good rule of thumb: If you are unsure about the safety of any activity
DON’T DO IT!  Nothing is worth putting your precious baby at risk.

Section Four: Airplane safety

• It is very common for lap children to be catapulted to the ceiling during heavy turbulence, especially on international flights.
• In minor crashes, the crew can often help everyone to safety, but lap children get thrown and are often impossible to find, so they get left behind.
• Holding your child on your lap could be the most dangerous place for them because guess where your torso is going to go during a jolt? Your chest will slam into your legs, possibly crushing your child, if she isn’t already airborne.
• If you put your child in a carseat while you drive, why wouldn’t you take the same precaution at even greater speeds?

Let me start by saying it took until baby two to finally buy this carrier even though we had been storing it in our amazon wish list since baby one was about 6 months old. We have one sling, one wrap, two carriers (including a hiking one and a front or back facing one) and have always been a bit underwhelmed with the carriers until this one! The other carriers thus far have been a little uncomfortable for wearer and baby, as well as complicated to put on/take off. We just got this last night and I put my 2 year old (30 lbs) in it like a back pack. She and I both loved it and let me say this is a fussy Dad and a fussy 2 year old so I assure you one of us would have had a problem with it pretty quickly if there was one to have. So far no regrets and I only wish we would have saved our money and bought this a year or two ago.We bought it for our 6 month old and will test it out with her today so hopefully this isn’t jumping the gun, however judging from how it felt with a 30 pounder on my back I’m assuming it will be pure ecstasy with a 14 lb baby.Save yourself the time and money and just buy this one now.

The baby bjorn I had, even with “lumbar support”, killed my shoulders after my baby was about 12 lbs. I bought an ergo but he did not fit in it at the supposedly-ready 5 month mark — his little legs were splayed too far apart. But now he’s taller at 6 months and he fits great and I LOVE my Ergo!! Great carrier, very comfortable. I also owned a babyhawk for about 3 days and while I adored the cute pattern on that, I didn’t feel it was as safe with the buckles (Ergo tests the buckles to high standards, they just feel more “solid”, and also the Ergo has reinforcement elastic bands just in case a buckle does ever fail it should “catch” on the elastic.)

This is the first time I have ever written a review. I felt the need to tell other moms out there that this is the best $120.00 I have spent since having my baby!!! I bought the Ergo Baby when my little guy was 5 months old. He is 9.5 months now and still loves it. My only regret is not purchasing it sooner. He LOVES it!! I don’t know how moms can live with out it. I also had the Baby Bijorn and I can say, this is SOOOO much more comfortable for mommy and baby. My husband also loves it and goes on long walks with baby on his back. The only bad thing I can say about it is that it is a little difficult to put baby on your back without help… But, it can be done. Just make sure to do it over a couch! Hope you enjoy yours as much as we love ours!

The Beco Butterfly Baby Carrier combines great ergonomics, excellent weight distribution and stylish design.

Every piece is handmade from top quality designer fabric and heavy duty webbing and buckles, and can be used with children from newborns to toddlers, in both front and back carries.

The innovative internal sling enables you to securely buckle your baby into the carrier, then handle Baby + Carrier as a single unit. You can put your baby on your back very easily, just like putting on a backpack!

The Beco Butterfly’s removable infant insert for newborns allows your little baby under 15 pounds to ride higher in the carrier in an ergonomically comfortable position.

When your baby outgrows the need for the newborn insert, you simply place her into the main Y shaped internal sling attached to the carrier’s shoulder straps, which improves the distribution of the baby’s weight and enables parents to pass baby from one wearer to another without taking the baby out of the carrier.

The inside panel of the Beco Butterfly Carrier acts as a safety harness and prevents baby from slipping down or falling out of the carrier. 1) Child can be worn on front or back and easily shifted from one to the other. 2) Tall, tapered carrier body provides lots of upper body support for your baby or toddler, holds baby close to your body for greater comfort. 3) A Sternum (chest) strap is connected to the shoulder straps and slides along their length. 4) Padded waistband is firm and supportive while maintaining a slim profile. 5) High quality designer fabrics are smooth, stylish, and comfortable against the skin. 6) Padded leg holes prevent chafing of little thighs. 7) User waist range fits 25 to 50 inches (63 to127cm). User height range fits from 4 foot 9 to 6 foot 2. (144cm to 188cm

What Makes The Beco  Baby Backpack So Different?

• Removable Infant Insert
  • Beco Butterfly 2 is the ONLY carrier on the market with this (patent pending) feature. Infant insert enables even the smallest babies to ride safely and comfortably, in ergonomically proper position in our baby carrier. Infant insert can be removed once baby outgrows the need for it.

• Security Inside Panel
• The shoulder straps of the baby carrier are attached to the carrier’s inside panel, which improves the distribution of the baby’s weight (thus the carrier is VERY comfortable for the wearer and the baby), and it enables parent’s to pass baby from one wearer to another without taking the baby out of the carrier (very convenient feature). Inside panel contributes to the safe use of the carrier (baby sits between this panel and the outside main body of the carrier, these two components together creates a harness for baby’s body), also loading baby on wearer’s back is much safer and easier with this inside panel, because it prevents baby from slipping down (or falling out).
