Whether you're an active person or not, baby backpack carriers can be quite beneficial to you and your baby. Research has shown that children who are carried, as opposed to being pushed in a stroller, seem to develop faster, both mentally, and emotionally. As opposed to seeing the world as a spectator through the opening of a stroller, a child carrier gives your little one the ability to view the world, and interact with it as you do. The close contact itself is emotionally beneficial, building an even stronger bond between parent and child without depriving the parent of their freedom.
Soft structured baby carriers, and baby wraps are most common in the infant stage. Whether you're out and about running errands, or doing some chores around the house, they're comfortable, and lightweight. Most however, are not intended to be worn for long periods of time, especially when your baby reaches the toddler stage. Frame style baby backpack carriers are intended for longer wear, and babies who can fully support their own head or neck. From day hikes, to short or long shopping adventures, the baby backpack carrier offers more support, and a sturdier design.
Built with aluminum frames, they can carry loads up to 50 pounds. They are usually designed with some type of kickstand, which allows it to be freestanding, and easily taken off and set on the ground with child on board. Baby backpack carriers also offer a higher cockpit. Your child sits up higher, either at head level or above, giving them an excellent view. With soft structured carriers that offer the back carrying position, your baby sits lower on your back, making it hard for them to see around you.
There are several different styles of baby backpack carriers. Some are simple, including just the aluminum frame, and higher cockpit. Other designs are a bit more complex, offering loads of storage, removable diaper bags and changing pads, and large protective weather hoods. These styles are designed for longer outings, when you need to pack a lunch and plenty of water, or extra diapers. You can carry everything you need, rather than packing along a an additional diaper bag. Most are also built with extra padded shoulder straps, waist belts, and adjustable torso straps. They are made to adjust to several different body types.
In conclusion, soft structured carriers and baby wraps are great, but when it comes to longer outings, and heavier children, the baby backpack carrier, aka frame child carrier, is your best option.
