The 10 Best Toddler Carrier Backpacks

Updated November 18, 2018 by Lydia Chipman

This wiki has been updated 22 times since it was first published in November of 2018. Hiking with a toddler is a whole different experience from babywearing with an infant. Even children who snuggled up contentedly in cozy wraps as newborns may throw your back out as they get more active and eager to explore the world around them. These framed packs and soft structured carriers are designed to be supportive and comfortable as their passengers grow bigger, stronger and wigglier. When users buy our independently chosen editorial picks, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

Editor's Notes

November 15, 2018:

Selected tried-and-true options especially well suited for carrying larger children in a variety of settings, designed to be supportive and comfortable for both passenger and carrier, with safety features tailored to the needs of growing kids and their caregivers. Gave additional consideration to those with ample and accessible storage, convenient weather protection, and multiple positioning options. Ease of use and adjustability also garnered special attention.
