We know how much babies love to be held and also how they enjoy movement. This is why baby backpack carriers are so great. Your baby gets to be close to you while you are moving.

If you are going for a walk or shopping in the supermarket, you want to have your arms and hands free. By using a baby backpack carrier, it allows you to do just that. A good carrier is well designed and will feel comfortable for you and baby. Your baby will be at the same height as you are, so will be able to see over your shoulder. He will be stimulated this way and therefore more at ease, making your shopping trip or walk a lot more enjoyable. If your baby becomes tired, he can just have a nap in the carrier. Most carriers will enable you to attach a rain cover or sun visor for shelter, depending on the weather conditions.

Backpack carriers are inspired by hiking backpacks, which make them very comfortable for the person wearing them. The shoulders straps are padded, the waist belts are stiff and they have adjustable nylon straps. The backpacks are designed so that the weight of your baby is evenly distributed over the shoulders and the hips, making it easier on your body.

With your baby being so close to you, he will recognise the rhythm of your breathing, your walking and your touch. Being at the same height as you are, he will be aware of your conversations and interactions with others. This is thought to stimulate emotional development and speech. Many parents have found that it soothes colic and decreases crying in their babies.
