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.

What should I look for in a Child Carrier Backpack?

  • ·    Safety
  • ·    Supportive Design
  • ·    Storage
  • ·    Ventilation
  • ·    Suspension System
  • ·    Supportive Harness System

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.

  If we are being honest, the number of people that haven't eaten a McDonalds Bacon & Egg or Sausage & Egg McMuffin are very few and far between, but really what is it? An English muffin, egg, bacon (or sausage) and cheese...right?   Why aren't we making these at home or better yet...over a campfire with a twist! I came across this  website  (the link is also below) and their Camping Breakfast Sandwich and oh my gosh it looked great and tasted even better. I couldn't resist sharing it with everyone. Its delicious and quick, 5 m ins to prep and 20 to cook. Boo-yah! Now, don't fret if you don't have left over pulled pork as the recipe calls for, use ham, bacon or even left over sausages from the night before - your only limitation is your imagination. Meals like these are heart-warming and don't hit you hard in the hip pocket, they are perfect for the little terrors to hang on to while they are running around and there's very little clean up - its a wi...

Canvas Needs Seasoning Too! Outdoor enthusiasts and people who are familiar with Cast Iron will be familiar with the word “season” simply this means preparing your cast iron for use, but did you know that canvas needs to be seasoned too? Canvas is by nature a very dense, heavy material and so when making items out of canvas large heavy duty thread and needles are used during the sewing process and creates hundreds if not thousands of tiny holes through the material especially at the seams. So, by seasoning canvas, it causes the poly cotton canvas core spun threads to expand and contract multiple times, filling up any of the holes, and ensures your canvas products perform well in wet weather. At Bundy Outdoors , we always recommend after purchasing a new canvas product before you take it out in the field for it’s maiden voyage it’s best to follow a seasoning process. Seasoning is a very simple process but depending on the weather can take a couple of days so it’s best to plan ahead. Ins...

Water Bladders or Hydration Reservoirs have been around for years, and most people would have heard of Camelbak who were one of the pioneers of the technology which has been adopted by a wide range of sports people, professionals, and military personnel alike. Water bladders are a convenient and easy way to stay hydrated when performing sports activities such as hiking and running where time is often of the essence. With water or other liquids readily available with the simple bite action on the bite valve. With a huge range of capacities carrying a water bladder means you are less likely to run out of water, or alternatively it gives you a greater scope for water consumption and conservation between stops. Carrying a water bladder in a backpack makes it easier and more comfortable to carry a greater volume of water versus using 500ml bottles. You can carry a single 3L water bladder inside your backpack instead of trying to carry and store 6x 500ml plastic bottles. What to look f...
