The world of baby carrier backpacks has been the "gossip" market segment for children that has evolved the most, or has diversified in recent years. There are numerous models; We have them of all possible colors, formats, sizes and materials.
But what happens when our babies grow, walk and become little children one meter tall? For them there were also carrier backpacks, in fact there are for even older children, but they were as restricted to the mountain. Well that has changed with The Piggyback Rider, will it be the evolution of baby carrier backpacks for older children?
To date, if you wanted to carry your child over two years old, you could continue doing so with most of the existing porting methods, socks, backpacks, mei-tais, or use the mountain backpacks. But, from my point of view, this brings a couple of inconveniences:
In the case of conventional systems, the child is attached to your back, which makes it hard for him to see well what's in front of you This can be solved with a little expertise, but some of us are not very good at the technique. The other problem that they present to me is the heat of wearing a body attached to you all the time. I am very hot and children at that age seem to always go with the thermostat ten points above room temperature, so in summer I remember ending up soaked in sweat. I know this problem doesn't happen to everyone, but I'm not the only one who has complained about this problem.
Mountain backpacks are good for carrying children and grown-ups, but they are made for what they are, that is, for the mountain. Going around the city with a backpack on my back that looks like a tent I don't see it as a good idea.
He Piggyback rider It is a set of harnesses and platform that avoids these inconveniences. The child is standing on the platform that distributes his weight in the same way as conventional backpacks, but not being attached to your body the feeling of freedom for the child is greater and greatly reduces the feeling of heat.
The child is attached with a safety harness to avoid falls and It is designed for children between two and seven years with a maximum weight of 27kg, yes, as long as the child knows how to stand.
Product Advantages
- Easy to use.
- Light.
- Fun for the child.
- It gives the child greater freedom to observe and interact with their surroundings.
Drawbacks
- The child is not sitting and after long periods of use could get tired.
- The bar where the feet are supported continually hits the back or the ass of the carrier and I don't really know how annoying it can be on long walks.
- It requires that the child be very sure of himself because he loses the feeling of being stuck to his parents.
- I think its price may be more adjusted.
- The child is less protected against the weather, sun and rain.
You can buy the Piggyback Rider on Amazon for about 61 euros.
I wish I had one of those last Christmas, I still resent the back of the Three Kings' Cavalcade.
