Just because you have a child does not mean that you have to sacrifice your life. A backpack baby carrier is a good way to stay active once you are a parent.

The wrong baby carrier can soon put you off going out and there is nothing more soul destroying that being excluded because you have a baby. Check out the tips below to ensure that both you and your baby are active and happy.

1. Your Babies Comfort – A crying baby will make for a miserable trip, so you need to be sure that your baby is comfortable and stays comfortable if they fall asleep. You do not want the baby to sleep awkwardly or to have straps poking into them.

Tip – The backpack needs to have good padding everywhere there is contact between the baby and the carrier. There should also be suitable cushioning for the babies head for when they fall asleep.

Depending on the age and size of your child you may want to look into foot supports. These support the child’s feet so that there is less pressure on the lower back and pelvis.

2.Adult comfort – It is all well and good to have your baby comfortable, but if your back carrier is not comfortable then you will not be going far (or you will only be doing it once!)

Tip – The shoulder straps should be wide and well padded, as should the hip support. All straps should be adjustable while the carrier is on. Finally the length of the carrier should be adjustable. If the length of the carrier is incorrect the weight of the carrier will not be correctly distributed between the hips and shoulders.

3. Accessories – To ensure that your child has a safe and fun time it is important to have the correct accessories. The most important accessories are those pertaining to the weather.

Tip – Make sure that your backpack baby carrier has good covers for wind, sun and rain. As conditions change these should be easy to fit and they should be secure so that the person carrying the child will have confidence in the safety and comfort of the child. The storage space on a baby carrier is important as you will almost definitely have to take spare clothes, snacks and nappy change equipment with you (as well as anything you may want).

Some accessories seem bizarre and unnecessary, but you will be amazed what you get attached to. I became quite dependent on the little mirror which BushBaby have attached inside the hip support which allows you to check on the baby.

Finally, a child learns more in their first two years than at any time in their life, so sharing the great outdoors with them is a wonderful start.
