Child Carrier Backpacks

By

Hitting the trail can be tough just carrying a backpack, but to keep yourself and your child happy on the trail, it’s important to select a carrier pack that excels in comfort, safety and build quality. The child carrier backpack should be adjustable for both the wearer and the child as they grow.

A child carrier backpack must have a supportive design that provides a safe and comfortable experience for both the child and parent/carrier. Each backpack must have a quality load distributing harness, a good suspension system and adequate padding. Organisation is no less important in a child carrier backpack than it is in an adult’s hiking backpack. You still need to be able to take the all-important essentials.

Ventilation is also important as not only will the carrier need to have sufficient ventilation to maintain a comfortable carrying experience, but the child too, must have adequate air flow.

When can a baby go in a Child Carrier Backpack?

It’s always best to wait until your child can sit independently with good and neck control. And can hold their own head and sit by themselves unsupported for at least 30 seconds. This means that will be able to handle being in a child carrier.

Is a Child Carrier Backpack only for Hiking?

No, a Chid Carrier Backpack can be an essential item for anyone wanting to head out and keep their child safe and their hands free. A child carrier backpack can be used at festivals, markets or that family adventure in the great outdoors.


What age can a child carrier backpack be used?

Usually, child carrier backpacks are only recommended for children aged 6 months and up. Your baby should be able to sit up unaided and have full control of their head. Most child carriers can be used for children between 6 months and 2 years, depending on their size and weight.

Lets get the low down on down. If you have ever spent a night outdoors, either camping or hiking and you spent the whole night shivering and desperately awaiting the sun rise, then you understand the need for a quality sleeping bag with the right temperature rating. Down are the fine under-feathers that provide superior insulation and warmth in waterfowl (ducks, geese). Down has long been used as the epitome of warmth and luxury in beds, pillows, doonas, duvets, jackets and…. You guessed it, sleeping bags. Down as a filling is more expensive but has a better weight to warmth ration and can be packed down smaller than synthetic fills.

4WD Drawer Bags

Most people think that the hardest part of hitting the road or any 4WD rebuild or re-vamp is going to be the vehicle. Speaking from experience that wasn't the case with us.  We knew exactly what we wanted for our Troopy, where to get it and how to install it, but what really eluded us was storage options. We knew that by installing a drawer system meant that we would need a storage solution that had flexibility, and we don’t just mean physically but essentially as well. The storage system would need to be versatile, to use with gear as well as food and clothing and preferably stackable to make the use of available space. Although we have a Troopy space is relative. We aren’t towing a van or camper and we also don’t have a rooftop tent, we sleep in the back, so everything needs to be well organised, stacked and stored.  We tried storage boxes, and these were good, but we couldn’t use all of our empty compartments on the front or the sides of the drawers, we tried other box styles as
