Worth knowing :
The art of carrying

The simple rucksack-carry (with short sling) - when the baby can hold his head firmly by itself

The good thing about the rucksack-carry position is that you are carrying the weight of heavy children on your back where it is much more comfortable and easier. In addition to this, your stomach is uncluttered and you can accomplish much more. Your baby also has a super view of the world beneath from up there! Once children are starting to learn to walk, the rucksack-carry method is very good because you can react to your children's needs (with the sling in a rucksack or the pocket for the return journey) much better than you could with the pram in one hand and the child in the other.
