Pros: Durable, Safe
Cons: I was too short? Couldn't adjust the torso length.
Summary: With my sons, I had a cheap backpack that I had picked up for five bucks at a garage sale. It worked alright, but was a bit skimpy on the shoulder padding and there was really no strap to hold the baby IN the pack. Luckily, we never had any accidents ... read more

Pros: Light pack with a secure & comfy seat for baby
Cons: You have to be careful not to knock things over with the metal frame
Summary: ...this is where I turned. My daughter is one of those children that wants to be held. She just hates riding in the stroller and wants a "mom's eye" view of everything. I usually use my Baby Bjorn front pack to carry her around, but at 7 months ... read more

Pros: Very comfortable, good quality, durable
Cons: As with any backpack carrier, it takes practice to be able to load up without help.

Pros: Comfortable, well padded, canopy protects from sun and rain
Cons: NONE
Summary: We bought the Town used. The people who owned it before us said they used it about 50 times, and we have used it several times a week for 13 months now, and it barely shows any wear at all. In fact, the straps are a little dirty, but that is it. ... read more
