Baby carrier

[unsuccessful]

After fitting every BCB (baby carrier backpack) I could get my hands on I had determined that none really stud out as a front runner for me. My wife ended up finding a used one supper cheap last summer. My youngest son is now 2 and has put on a few pounds. We don't use the BCB all the time as my son enjoys hiking. He made it up the Manitou Incline .....with a little help.

A grumpy tired toddler can end a hike or make it miserable in no time, and that's when the BCB comes in to play.

The problem is that after 2 miles I'm very uncomfortable. I have seriously considered stuffing the boy in the Highcamp, but haven't. Do you guys think that there is a big enough market for a company like Kifaru to make a baby bag that works with a comfortable frame/suspension?

I'd give one serious consideration.

I cut the harness system off mine and just strap it to my duplex frame, worked great but haven't set it up in awhile. I used 2 straps and the grabit to secure it. Our is a KeltyKid Hauler, worked perfect strapped to the frame.

I've put my kids in my EXO before padded with some blankets but I typically just use our Kelty kid pack. People spend crazy money on kids so there likely is a market.

If that is a Sherpani in the bottom pic, that is what I was going to recommend. We had one with our daughter, and I packed up to #65 with and it carried remarkably well. Some packs just don't fit some people.

Have you looked at the Deuter Kid Comfort lll? I used that for both my children and logged over a 1000 miles over very mountainous terrain. Not cheap but then your children are priceless.

Kifaru will never make a child carrier. I've posted this multiple times and it is the easiest solution for using your kifaru duplex:
Cargo Panel + Child Carrier = Kifaru Child Carrier

I will second the Deuter, i used one for my kids and it is awesome, by far the best of any that I have tried.

I bet I spend some time one of these evenings figuring out how to strap the carrier to my hunter frame.

I thought of this post when I saw this thread. This is the way to do it!!
I put my 2 year old in my empty DT2 for a short trip down into a canyon and back up again. It was fun but difficult to stabilize the load, and not comfortable for him especially when nap time came along.
BH.

I would have definitely bought a kifaru if they made one a couple years ago. My son is close to 40 pounds now so we don't use the carrier much anymore. I tried all different things including strapping a carrier to my kifaru frame. Finally decided that it's just going to be a little uncomfortable and dealt with it. I use an osprey poco and it's the best I've found but it's still lacking in a lot of ways.

Forgot to mention that the tulas are actually super comfortable for the parent but lack head support for the kid so it's hard for them to sleep in it. That's a good option for hunting though because it's quieter and you can wear it on your front if you need to have your real pack on your back.
