Chicco Smart Support Backpack

Backpack baby carrier

Pros
  • Inexpensive for a back carrier
  • Lightweight
  • Included weather shield
  • Adjustable seat
Cons
  • 40-pound weight limit
  • Not much onboard storage
  • Chest strap sits too high

Backpack carriers are the most expensive style of baby carriers, but price isn't an indication of quality, according to reviewers. Users say the Chicco Smart Support Backpack is comfortable to wear, and it includes a zip-up weather shield to protect a baby from sun, rain and wind. The seat can be adjusted to accommodate a growing baby, and the backpack features padded shoulder straps and lumbar support for comfort. The Chicco can be used with babies 6 months and older, weighing up to 40 pounds. Like most backpack carriers, the Chicco may not fit all wearers, so you should try it on before purchasing if possible. If you want the option of carrying your baby in the front or in the back, consider a convertible carrier like the highly rated Ergo Baby Carrier (*Est. $105).
