Best baby child carriers
I've been looking around this week at rear child carriers, but
1 - I can't believe the price of them 2 - Most of them are a bit crap My large Karrimor Cougar rucksack has a great back system - what I want is a back system on a child carrier that is as comfy as the Karrimor rucksack. I am tall and need one with a long back. I've tried Vango child carriers (take far too long to adjust when changing from one adult to the other), Littlelife child carriers were a bit short on the back. The sales assistant in Tiso's recommended I not even bother with Tiso's own child carrier. There was one other that I can't remember, but it was about 6 inches too short on the back. I eventually tried on one that fitted prefectly. What's this? It's a MacPac sir. Ah. Cost? 190 pounds sir. So there you go, I'll just have a look around some more. 190 quid for a comfy backpack to carry the baby around in!!! Gotta be joking. Does anyone know of any other packs that might fit the bill for a tall person? I know Macpac do one around 90 quid called the koala, but does it have the same back system as the Vamoose? The search goes on... UPDATE: I've gone and found one that's perfect - The Kelty Kids Base Camp Child Carrier. Lightweight, superbly adjustable and it fits a tall person. Fantastic. Where did I get it? er, ebay. Shhh don't tell anyone (well, we don't have any child carriers in the shop anyway just now) Posted by bigcrags @ 12:06 PM

We just spent all day yesterday trapsing round looking for a backpack child carrier that fits both me (5 foot eight) and my partner (six foot five) and having tried every single one in London we came up with the same result that you did - the Kelty was the only one that fits properly and adjusts easily - still very expensive but at least it is only financially crippling not physically......... # posted by
 : 12:33 PM Hi you need a Bushbaby Child Carrier, they have the longest back syestem - based on Lowe Alpine Paralux Back. Most comfy carriers I've used Caroline # posted by
: 1:33 PM We just bought a Bushbaby premier for my hubby who is 6'2" after being reassured that it will fit his height and we now have to send it back as it doesn't fit properly. We also tried on a Macpac Vamoose today and that isn't right either. Does anyone know any uk stockists for Kelty and will they fit a tall, long bodied person? We have used MacPac child carrier for 9 years. On our 4th child. Still going strong. It is the best. You would not be unhappy. # posted by
