A Back care is extremely important if you are intending to make regular use of a baby carrier. Bushbaby, a company that specialises in outdoor equipment for children, has introduced an Elite Carrier into its range that is suitable for five-month-olds to four-plus and is based on a rucksack harness system.
The carrier features a wide padded waist belt that is designed to sit comfortably on the hip bone to achieve the correct weight distribution and keep the balance away from the shoulders and towards the hips.
The Elite Carrier also comes in a wide range of sizes to suit adults from 5ft to 6ft 2in and can be altered quickly while in use to allow other colleagues to take turns, if necessary. An adjustable, elasticated chest strap and hip belt also ensure correct fitting and the shoulder straps and lumber area have extra padding. For the child's comfort the seat is height adjustable and padded, with a security harness and pillow. Clip-on stirrups provide extra support for bigger children.
