Top 5 Best Baby Backpack Carrier | 2017 Reviews

Bringing kids outdoors can be a very challenging task for families. Sure, walking around with a small baby in your arms means sharing more snuggles but doing it even within just an hour can already burn your biceps. The struggle even becomes harder as you decide to take on steep trails and rough terrains.

The solution? Use a baby backpack carrier.

When the trails no longer allow for a stroller, when you would rather want to keep your hands free or when you would rather save your spine and back from injuries, using the best baby carrier is a worthwhile investment to make.

Osprey Packs Poco AG Child Carrier

Deuter Kid Comfort III Child Carrier

Thule Sapling Elite Child Carrier

Kelty Transit 3.0 Child Carrier

Phil&Teds Escape Baby Carrier

A backpack baby carrier comes in two forms: a framed and an unframed one.

A framed backpack does a much better job at distributing weight all throughout the body and also offers storage options and a few bells and whistles although they are usually bulkier and more expensive. On the other hand, unframed ones are lighter and cheaper but your kid sits at a much lower level which means that the weight could easily pull you down. They often do not have a lot of options for storage and cover but that’s what you get for opting for a lighter carrier.

With so many baby carrier backpacks to choose from, how do you choose one that is right for you and your kid? We’ve come up with a list of baby carrier reviews to help you narrow down your choices and make shopping a little easier for you.

Osprey Packs Poco AG Child Carrier

Another option for a baby backpack that will keep you from suffering from back, shoulder and hip pains is the Poco AG Child Carrier from Osprey. AG stands for Anti Gravity which describes their state-of-the-art contoured suspension that helps stabilize the pack so you won’t feel the cargo on your shoulders even if you go on long hikes.

There are many things to love about this Osprey child carrier and it all starts with the suspension system. For starters, the design uses aluminum which makes it a rather lightweight carrier. Although the whole tubing frame is made from lightweight aluminum, it remains stable and can carry a load of up to 45 pounds, baby and gears combined. Another reason to love this carrier is that it comes with mesh back panels that wraps and conforms to the body, providing excellent ventilation so you won’t overheat while carrying your baby.

You baby will definitely consider this as the best hiking backpack as it comes with awesome features that ensure their comfort and safety. For starters, it has dual grab handles which make it easy to pick up and set down the carrier. The cockpit area is fully framed and padded for safety and it also comes with a removable and washable drool pad to make sleeping comfortable.

We also love the storage options for this carrier. The zippered stash pocket allows for small items such as keys, money or a small phone. Meanwhile, the stretch mesh harness pocket allows parents to have a quick access to trail snacks and other baby items. Of course, there is also a removable daypack, built-in sunshade, adjustable and removable stirrups plus an adjustable torso for wearers of different heights and torso lengths.

If you have a little more budget to move around, you can also check out the Plus and Premium models. Unfortunately, as much as we love these carriers, we found that their hip belts easily dig in to the skin which makes hiking for long periods slightly uncomfortable. Still, this one deserves to be placed at the top position in our list.

Deuter Kid Comfort III Child Carrier

When it comes to providing real kid comfort, the Deuter Kid Comfort III certainly lives up to its name. Often referred to as the Cadillac of backpack carriers, this backpack offers quite a lot of features that both parents and kids will surely love.

What do we like most about this child carrier? For starters, we love that this one provides among the most comfortable rides for kids. Your little one sits higher behind you which means that they get to see over your shoulders better, perfect for entertaining kiddos on long hikes. It will take a bit of getting used to but the protection that this setup provides is superb.

Another thing to commend about these Deuter backpacks is that they make carrying heavy children much easier for parents. The hip belt moves and flexes to adjust to changes so that the actual load does not shift from side to side. Regardless of the types of terrain you encounter, you can be sure that both parent and kid will stay secure and comfortable all throughout.

Other smaller details that we like about this carrier are the removable and washable pillow (which makes it comfortable for kids even as they doze off to sleep), the compatibility with a hydration system (making it convenient for moms and dads) and the small mirror that allows parents to make a quick check on their babies behind them. It also allows side entry perfect for older kids and comes with a cute stuffed bear for the little one.

But, as much as we love this beautiful backpack carrier, we think that it is a little too heavy and bulkier than we would have liked. At already 7 pounds, putting a baby inside plus gears will make it a very huge and heavy system although it does have a huge storage capacity. Because of this, we will have to place the Deuter pack in the second spot in our list.

Thule Sapling Elite Child Carrier

Yet another premium child carrier we recommend next to the Osprey is this child carrier from Thule. It does belong to the rather expensive price range but it comes with a lot of great features and advantages.

What we like most about their toddler backpacks is that they come with a very streamlined, sleek and modern design, much like their regular backpacks. It does not look as bulky as the others yet provides pretty much the same passenger weight and storage capacity. This Thule carrier comes with an adjustable back panel and hipbelt so parents of different heights and torso lengths can take turns using it without any problem.

As you can expect from a premium baby backpack, this carrier comes with a load stabilizer. What parents do is to simply pull the straps for on-the-go adjustments. The child is pulled closer to the parent’s body to provide a more comfortable carry. We also love that it comes with a dual load option so your child can get inside from the top or, when they grow older, from the sides.

This carrier also allows installation for a hydrating system so you don’t have to reach out at the back for your bottle of water. As for your baby’s needs, you can easily put them in the mesh pockets, removable backpack or in the large zippered compartment. Of course, let us not forget other features such as the sunshade, removable stirrups, zippered hipbelt, mirror and unique kick stand design!

But, let’s face it, as awesome as the Thule backpack reviews may be, it still has a few cons on the side. Its price is a major factor that discourages parents, especially those just new in the outdoors lifestyle to make such a hefty investment. Its canopy does not function as well as those of the other brands but still usable. The same thing can also be said for its lower storage compartment and child compartment pillow. For this, we are placing it in the middle of our list.

Details of the Thule Sapling Elite Child Carrier
Weight	7.5 pounds
Dimensions	12.25 x 28.75 x 13.75 inches
Colors	Dark Shadow/Slate, Slate/Cobalt
Recommend Weight	7 to 45 pounds

Kelty Transit 3.0 Child Carrier

If you are looking for a combination of a stroller, diaper bag and daypack all in one – but with a very lightweight design – check out the Kelty Transit 3.0 Child Carrier.

What is great about this Kelty kids carrier? This carrier comes with all the awesome features that you can find in a full-featured child carrier but it is less bulky. Despite that, it can carry up to 40 pounds of weight (baby and gears, combined) but it definitely leaves a much smaller footprint compared to other models and brands. This carrier can even adjust to the growing needs of your child: simply adjust the harness and the height of their seat as they start growing taller.

Another thing to love about this Kelty backpack is the sliding torso adjuster. This allows wearers of different heights and torso lengths to use the carrier alternately without any problem. In terms of storage space, this carrier does not disappoint and even offers a bigger capacity compared to the Deuter Kid Comfort II. Its maximum storage capacity is 1300 cubic inches.

However, it is still far from being a perfect product. It does come with a hood that helps protect your kiddo against the rain and the sun; no need to buy separately. Sadly, the hood can be a challenge to use and definitely not as good as those of the competitors’ sun shades. Using this carrier might also make you experience some slight discomfort especially when using during longer periods. Since it is not a full-featured carrier, it does not come with load weight adjustment options.

If you are very particular about distributing weight all throughout your body, go for a carrier that has load adjuster straps to help bring your load to the center of your back. Still, the Transit carrier is not such a bad choice considering its storage options and its price point. We place this one at the fourth position in our list.

Phil&Teds Escape Baby Carrier

For parents looking for a no-frills backpack baby carrier that does its job well without letting you think about too many things, Phil&Teds Escape Baby Carrier is your best option.

We are placing this carrier at the bottom of the list not because it is the least in our list but because we think there are still a lot of things to check out about this product and this brand, in general.

When it comes to backpack carriers, Phil&Teds does not necessarily come to mind first thing especially if you are not from New Zealand. Still, we think that checking out their products is definitely worth a try. 

Now, there are many things we like about this carrier. At first glance, it looks very much like the Thule and we really love its sleek, modern look. The entire carrier already comes with the carrier itself plus a sun hood, daypack, changing mat (hooray!!!), mirror and stirrups. The introduction will probably be enough to convince you to get this one.

The foot stirrup is a lot different from the designs that other brands come with and your child’s little feet stays securely and comfortably inside, even through rough terrains. We also love the modern looking removable day pack and the compatibility for a hydration system. Say goodbye to heavy water bottles!

As for your kiddo, they can stay safe inside with the adjustable and padded harness supports. Even as they start dozing off, they will not easily be shaken around (while you go and continue your hike) because of the snug shoulder cradle and moldable headrest. Another reason to love this hiking baby carrier, which is also perfect for urban hikes, is its very compact fold making it ideal for traveling. Cool, right?

Actually, we think that this carrier deserves to be placed higher up the ranks but we will give it the benefit of the doubt and place it here, at the bottom, for the time being. Still, we highly recommend giving this product a look!

Details of the Phil&Teds Escape Baby Carrier
Weight	6.6 pounds
Dimensions	29.9 x 12.6 x 5.9 inches (folded)
Colors	Grey/Red, Grey/Charcoal
Recommend Weight	Up to 39.7 pounds

Looking for the best backpacks for hiking can be very intimidating and challenging especially for parents who are just starting out to bring their kids outdoors. Choosing a backpack or a daypack is very different from choosing a baby backpack carrier as you do not only consider your own comfort and safety but also that of your passenger.

Ultimately, the best way to find your perfect match is to read recommendations and give the products a try. Find which one will fit your physical requirements (height, torso length, height and weight of the child and so on) and make your decision from there. Happy shopping!​

Top 5 Best Crib Mobiles | 2017 Reviews

Babies love sounds, colors, movements that flash before their eyes. And one thing they love is a song. From when they were being conceived to when they are being rocked to sleep, a lullaby has always been a sweet company. But as they grow bigger and they grow more aware of things around them, babies tend to want to see more than just the ceiling or more than just the curtains on the windows. They want to see something more interesting like, a crib mobile.

Babies love things having above their heads. Toys, animals, shapes of any kind, babies just find it peculiar and interesting and very much appealing that it keeps them from crying.

There are times you would love to do things like clean the house, cook, bake, handle some business from home and you would like to keep your baby preoccupied in order to do them. But putting them in a normal convertible crib for such a long time bores them and they end up crying like crazy.

Fisher-Price Precious Planet 2-in-1 Projection Mobile

The biggest win you could ever have is the fisher price smart connect 2-in-1 projection mobile. Fisher price is the best option you could ever get when it comes to crib mobiles or even in any baby necessity in the market. Ask for it and they have it! And this crib mobile has just too many good things about it; it goes beyond being number one!

First of all, it comes in so many adorable themes you could ever think of like the fisher-price rainforest friends smart connect 2-in-1 projection mobile and the fisher price twinkling lights projection mobile. Fisher Price comes with a unique feature that makes every mother and parent love it so much, a projector. Not only does it come with typical animal plushees, they also come with a wonderful projector that project pictures of the fisher price mascot.

We also love the fact that the sounds of the white noise played by the baby musical mobile doesn’t come with the sharp electronic sound but the natural soothing sounds of the nature, heartbeat, and even the classics by Mozart, Beethoven and Bach. Now, isn’t that brain enhancing? The precious planet projection crib mobile has four cute plush toys overhead that turn when you choose the first music option: music with motion. The other two options are long playing music—this is up to 20 minutes of song playing—and music, motion and projection. It also comes with a volume control for soft music or loud but both of them aren’t overwhelming either.

Another lovable feature about this is that you can control all the features of the crib mobile with a remote control. This projection mobile for crib isn’t just a remote control baby mobile but also a crib essential that helps enhance brain development.

There are times when babies start getting up and grabbing the stuffed animals hanging from your battery operated mobile but you don’t have to worry about this best baby mobile for development because there is still the projection feature that can still project images on your ceiling. You enjoy other mobiles for baby like: Fisher Price precious planet swing, Fisher Price precious planet bouncer, Fisher Price mobile rainforest, Fisher Price rainforest friends smart connect 2-in-1 projection mobile, and Fisher Price precious planet jumperoo.

Skip Hop Moonlight & Melodies Projection Mobile

The first thing we have in mind whenever we try to introduce anything to our babies, it would be animals and nature. They learn best when they hear animals sounds and different things we see around nature. 

Another thing we love to start with our babies is music. Songs are so important to our little ones, that one of the requirements for the best nursery mobiles must have music—good music. That’s one of the reasons why we love Skip Hop moonlight & melodies projection mobile so much. It has a wide selection of songs that won’t bore your baby. It has songs like Eine Kleine, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Brahms' Lullaby and Rock-a-bye Baby.

It also comes with four soothing sounds of nature: rainforest, waves, Jungle crickets and heartbeat. We really love the rainforest sound, it is also very soothing for adults especially when you’re feeling a little bit tired and stressed out.

Another feature we adore about this baby musical mobile is its light fixtures. The Safari theme comes with glowing green leaves that carry the jungle animals and rotates. It is especially nice when listening to the rainforest sound. And it also has a starry night projection feature that is really relaxing and also entertaining at the same time. It’s a definite must have and must love aspect of this best crib mobile.

One thing our babies really love about this projection mobile for kids is that it doesn’t make them dizzy. They rotate just the right speed. They are just gently moving as a soft breeze that is really good for the eyes. If you are quite tired of the typical animal rotating baby mobiles, you can probably opt for the white cloud theme by Skip Hop. 

The only problem you will get from the Skip Hop moonlight & melodies projection mobile is that it requires quite a number of batteries. And the fact that after a time, the glowing leaves starts to flicker. The glowing leaves doesn’t have a separate off switch so you would have to deal with a flickering rotating crib mobile which can be distracting and less soothing for baby. Nonetheless, it’s one great product!

Details of the Skip Hop Moonlight & Melodies Projection Mobile
Dimensions	17.5 x 13.4 x 14 inches
Weight	2.6 pounds
Theme	White Safari, White Cloud
Special Features	Ceiling projection
Add-ons	Rotating glowing leaves (for safari theme), remote controlled

Tiny Love Dual Motion Developmental Mobile

You really can’t predict when our babies can get fussy. And since we don’t know exactly when they can be in good behavior, we always prepare for the worst when we get out of the house. That’s the reason why Tiny Love Dual Motion Developmental Mobile is really handy for both mommy and daddy. It comes with a take along clip where you can strap it on your baby’s stroller.

Another thing that’s great about this is that is comes with multiple options for your baby’s preference and comfort. If your baby is sleepy, you can choose the standard motion control. Choosing this one will just let the crib mobile rotate slowly. And the more wonderful feature is an older baby favorite, the peek-a-boo. Even as parents, we really love it too. The peek-a-boo crib mobile kit is really fun because the plushees hide into the leaves. It’s really fun for baby’s who start to play peek-a-boo with you. We really admit how entertaining this is for both you and the baby.

It’s also great that there are plenty of music that goes along the rotating stuffed animals. You won’t get tired of listening to the same song because it plays 15 songs for about 40 minutes. They’re all soothing and not too crazy for a sleepy baby. They’re not annoying either; in fact, you might end up getting to sing along to the melodies. Along with this, this best crib mobile for babies comes with adjustable volume and mute buttons in case the songs might distract your baby from actually getting a good rest.

Although our best crib mobiles for baby developments in the top two have projectors on them, this one has a star and moon projected night light. You can also detach the rotating mobile and leave the piano music box on its own as a baby soother. This is probably the best mobile for baby brain development because of the peek-a-boo interactive feature.

Dimensions	16 x 12.5 x 4.8 inches

SHILOH Deluxe Baby Plush Crib Mobile

We can guarantee you that Crib mobiles don’t last long especially if your baby develops early motor skills. When they get the chance to start sitting down and crawling they would start grabbing those adorable stuffed animals hanging from their crib mobiles. And there those crib mobiles become nothing more but a baby chew toy or teether. For that reason, Shiloh Deluxe Baby Plush Crib Mobile is made with ABS. the safest material for babies especially if they start to chew on them. We love that safety aspect of it since it is one of the few baby mobiles that exceed the standards of ASTM. That’s very reassuring since you know how much babies love to put stuff into their mouths.

This is definitely a ParentsNeed recommendation because we really appreciate the cute plush animals hanging above your baby’s crib. They’re not too overwhelming for your baby. They’re both entertaining and also helps hasten your baby’s drowsiness level. But one thing you have to know and will surely love is that the stuffed animals can be separate toys. All of them have unique squeaky sounds. Some have jingle bells in them or a music player. All you have to do is press on the handheld part of the toy and they entertain! Now that makes the best mobile for baby brain development. They get to identify different sounds and shapes that go with them.

This battery operated crib mobile is adorable too with different themes like the blue or pink plane arm, carnival canopy, rooster head and blue sky. You have plenty more reasons to love Shiloh Crib mobile because it has plays different songs in a span of 60 minutes. This baby mobile also has an automatic shut off that stops playing after 30 minutes of no touch. It comes with adjustable volumes and a play and next buttons—if in case you wanna skip to the next song. It also has a break-point memory function that plays where it stopped and doesn’t play at the beginning of the song again. We also love that the spin and the music are separately controlled so can activate it without the other.

Dimensions	20 x 14 x 14 inches
Weight	2.2 pounds
Theme	White Safari, White Cloud
Special Features	Plushee arms, 60 minute song selection, squeaky stuffed animals

Just Born Adventure Musical Mobile

If you are never sure about which battery operated crib mobile to get for your baby, then go simple. Choose a non-complicated crib mobile kit. That way, you won’t have to worry about unnecessary expenses for your baby since you tend to worry about electronic malfunctions and plenty of wiring that might go wrong.

Go for safe materials that will last long until they get older. Just Born Adventure Musical Mobile plays Brahm’s Lullaby. It can get tiring for you to hear but your baby will definitely love the music. It is also lightweight so the worry of it snapping off and falling on your baby is minimal since almost every aspect of this baby mobile is made of 100% Polyester. So, if it does fall on your baby, it’s nice and soft and the only problem you will get from it is that it might easily get soggy since your baby will end up chewing on it like a teether.

Anyway, there aren’t much features to talk about. But it does have a lot of themes to choose from. It can be feminine, masculine or neutral. That’s also good for parents like us since we can choose from a variety of themes that will fit our crib mobiles really well. You can have the Aqua-White theme of blue stars and white clouds. You might choose the Blue-Grey theme which has blue whales and grey anchors. We think this is totally cute for baby boys. The Just Born Adventure Musical Mobile Navy-Orange has Blue tents and orange foxes. You may also want a set of red, blue and white stars. It also has a theme of white and blue elephants. You might enjoy choosing lions and giraffes and zebras for the Jungle Grey Theme.

Moving on with the girly themes for your baby would be the grey and pink elephants. One of our favorites would be the Pink and Red birdies. Or you might want a more gentler option and choose the White and lilac hearts. There are more themes to choose from but you will definitely like a simple approach to giving your baby the best crib mobiles for babies, for your baby to be exact.
