When was your baby strong enough to be carried in a hiking backpack carrier?

Mary

My baby is six and a half months old, and can sit for about a minute or two unassisted before she tips! Should she be sitting really securely before she goes into one?

Can you recommend a good one?
I've got a baby bjorn active which I love, it's just my baby is in a phase where she wants to be held all day. She doesn't like not being able to see, so she breaks her neck in the bjorn if she's facing me. If she's facing out, she grabs everything! I'm wondering if a back pack carrier is a solution.

Answer
I had my sons in backpacks at that age. I would put little blankets on each side to keep them straight until they were strong enough to do it themselves.

I can not recommend a carrier only because I use mine for little things (ball games, grocery store) I do not know about backpacks for hiking...but I do know they have some really great ones out there!

P.S. Carriers in the front are great, but if you have a fat baby they do hurt your back after a while in front carriers. So, I always had to move my children to the backpacks.

Have fun!!

Toddler backpack / carrier suggestions?

Please suggest the brand and model and provide support for your suggestion. We are in search of a carrier with "stadium seating" or seating that doesn't require your child to keep their legs spread but rather could sit with knees together. Our child is 15 months old. Thank you!

I don't have the brand and model but you should look out for certain features when you choose the backpack. Refer the following site:
